Question
The baby is three months old and has a yellowish urine color. The liver function test shows that the serum alkaline phosphatase concentration is 17.97, with the reference range being 30-150. How should it be handled?
Answer
During the infant stage, alkaline phosphatase levels may decrease due to growth and development, which is a normal phenomenon. However, if accompanied by other symptoms or abnormal test results, it is recommended to bring the baby to a regular hospital for a re-examination to rule out potential pathological causes. Daily hydration can help improve the urine color.
