What tests are needed for newborns with hepatosplenomegaly and vomiting?

Patient's question:

Recently I haven't been feeling well, experiencing vomiting. Some people suspect it might be liver and spleen enlargement in newborns. What tests are needed?

Doctor's answer:

The symptoms of liver disease are many: fatigue and weakness in the limbs, easy tiredness; poor appetite; nausea and vomiting; abdominal pain, especially in the liver and spleen areas; there are many causes of gum bleeding, which can generally be divided into local and systemic causes. Gum bleeding caused by local reasons is common in patients with gingivitis or periodontitis, and gingival hyperplasia can also cause local gum bleeding. Systemic causes mainly refer to blood diseases. Frequent dizziness and black eyes may be related to malnutrition, overwork, poor rest, etc., and may also be related to anemia. The specific cause needs to be determined after examination in the hospital.
