Question

The baby’s liver function test results show elevated total bilirubin and direct bilirubin. Is there a liver function issue?

Answer

The liver function test indicates elevated bilirubin levels, which may be related to hemolysis rather than hepatitis. It is recommended to undergo B-ultrasound, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and hepatitis A tests, as well as routine blood and urine tests, reticulocyte count, and liver ultrasound, to confirm the diagnosis and treatment. Wishing the baby a speedy recovery.
