Question
How to check a baby’s liver and kidney function?
Answer
When conducting a liver and kidney function test, the baby should be tested under fasting conditions, avoiding food or water intake, as food can affect blood sugar levels. Additionally, after eating, the increase in gastrointestinal contents may compress organs including the kidneys, leading to inaccurate test results. Therefore, it is generally recommended to perform kidney function tests in the morning on an empty stomach.
