Question

How to handle a 2-month-old girl with elevated transaminase levels?

Answer

When a child is found to have elevated transaminase levels, a series of examinations and treatments may be required. If the mother is a carrier of hepatitis B, this could be one of the reasons for the child’s elevated transaminase levels. In such cases, doctors may recommend intravenous drips or oral inosine tablets, Ganlixin, Virazole, antiviral drugs, and interferon for treatment. At the same time, it is important to avoid using medications and foods that damage liver function, and to refrain from spicy, alcohol, and other irritating foods. Additionally, increasing physical activity and strengthening the immune system can help improve liver function. If diagnosed with pediatric kidney disease, immediate treatment is required, along with measures such as gastrointestinal decompression. Parents should also pay attention to a balanced diet for the child and avoid picky eating habits.
