What to do if your child's liver function is high

As parents, we are more worried when our children have high liver function, because any disease may have different degrees of impact on their physical health. So once we find that our children have high liver function, we should pay attention to understand the correct and effective treatment and solution. After clarifying the cause, we should follow the doctor's advice and use medication according to our actual situation.

1. If the alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase indicators are extremely high, it means that the liver function is damaged. The liver function damage is not necessarily caused by smoking and drinking, but may also be caused by being a carrier or patient of the hepatitis B virus. Eating fast food out frequently generally does not have any impact, because eating unclean food can generally lead to hepatitis A, and adults generally have latent infections and produce protective antibodies in their bodies. When taking medicine, you need to cooperate with the doctor's treatment according to your personal situation. The clinical doctor will prescribe medicine according to the specific situation. Do not trust other people's advice easily. High liver function test indicators generally indicate that the patient has liver problems. There are many reasons for high liver function indicators.

2. Many tissues in the human body contain transaminases. For example, myocarditis and myocardial infarction may increase aspartate transaminases.

Secondly, if there are biliary obstructive diseases such as gallstones, the level of transaminase in the blood may increase due to bile stasis.

3. For some people who do not seem to have any serious illness, they may have alcoholic liver disease due to long-term alcoholism, or fatty liver disease due to unreasonable diet, which may cause high transaminase levels.

4. For healthy people, an increase or decrease in the transaminase level within the normal range does not mean that there is a problem with the liver, because the transaminase is very sensitive. When healthy people are checked at different times of the day, the transaminase level may fluctuate. If the increase in transaminase is caused by these situations, just have a good rest and check again after a period of time, you will find that the transaminase level has returned to normal.

5. Another situation that can cause elevated transaminase levels is taking drugs that can damage the liver when you are sick, such as erythromycin, tetracycline, sleeping pills, antipyretic analgesics, contraceptives, and Chinese medicines such as Pinellia, Areca, and Indigo. After stopping these drugs, the transaminase level will quickly return to normal.
