Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
4 Year Old With Abdominal Pain, Swollen Stomach, Vomiting. Raised Liver Reports. Concerned
Hi my 4 year old has been complaint of abdominal pain since January her abdomen is like a pot belly . She rubs her tummy at times and at least once a week she vomits or spues. Brought her drs and she done routine bloods her FBP was normal but her liver function test where all raised except bilirubin which was normal? Should I be concerned ??
The enzymes being raised in the Liver function test indicates a liver injury.The normal Bilirubin could rule out recent infection i.e Enzymes raised with normal biliruibin could indicate that the liver injury is of chronic reason.
Next the doctor would investigate for infections,metabolic reason or autoimmune reason for injury.
I would suggest at present you should not panic but get your son thoroughly investigated to rule out the reason for injury.
