Thanks for asking your query here.

Blood results show there is still derangement of liver function due to jaundice. Blood results need to be compared with previous reports and interpreted with his clinical symptoms and examination findings.

Have any further tests been done to find out the cause of jaundice? What is the age of the child? Has he got any current symptoms/appetite?

If child is clinically improving and better, please continue with the treatment suggested by your Paediatrician.

Please revert back if you have any further queries.
