Patient's question:
My baby was just born and tested positive for high jaundice. After taking medication for a while, the jaundice has not subsided. Now it has been found that liver function is also elevated. What should I do if newborn jaundice causes elevated liver function?Doctor's answer:
If there is an increase in transaminase levels, it is important to be alert to the possibility of liver damage, which is often seen in pathological jaundice. Pathological jaundice requires treatment with blue light exposure to reduce jaundice. In this case, it is necessary to go to the hospital immediately for examination to identify the cause and receive early diagnosis and treatment.Additionally, the baby's bilirubin level is relatively high, which is also a normal condition. It may be neonatal jaundice or physiological jaundice, and it can usually subside over time. Feed the baby reasonably. If the liver function indicators remain elevated after a period, it is advisable to go to the hospital to determine the underlying cause and receive appropriate treatment.
