What to Do When Liver Function Aminotransferases Drop: Decoding the Liver Test Results After a Child’s Pneumonia Treatment

Question

My child, who is six months old, was hospitalized for 25 days due to pneumonia. The white blood cell count has been high, now at 21, and the liver function is also abnormal with alanine aminotransferase at 103, aspartate aminotransferase at 226, total protein at 61, and globulin at 19. Are these symptoms severe?

Answer

Based on the information you provided, your baby’s liver function is abnormal, indicating liver damage due to the pneumonia. It requires inpatient liver protection and enzyme reduction treatment, as well as nourishment for the liver cells. Treatment can help restore normal levels; I recommend seeking treatment at second or third-tier hospitals for your child.
