Question
What should you pay attention to if alanine/aminotransferase is too high?
Answer
Considering the case information you have provided, the child has been experiencing elevated alanine/aminotransferase levels for some time now, and as parents, we are very concerned. What advice do you have for us, doctor? Based on the information you’ve given, this could be a problem related to abnormal liver function. To further clarify the specific cause, it is recommended to undergo a fasting liver function test, avoiding food and water intake to prevent any impact on the accuracy of the results. If alanine aminotransferase levels are elevated, it indicates liver damage, which is a sign that requires treatment. It is suggested that you bring your child back to the hospital for another check-up to determine if the condition is due to disease. If it is caused by disease, timely treatment is essential.
