Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended that I go to the neurology department for a check-up. Is mumps encephalitis causing abnormal liver function?Doctor's answer:
Children who have previously suffered from mumps and encephalitis will not develop sequelae of abnormal liver function after full recovery, but during the treatment of mumps and encephalitis with antiviral drugs and other therapies, drug-induced abnormal liver function may reappear. However, after stopping the medication, the adverse reaction of abnormal liver function will gradually disappear, and liver function will return to normal. Currently, if abnormal liver function reappears, it is recommended to visit the local hospital's hepatobiliary department for a thorough examination to identify the cause.
