Hello,
From the reports, it seems that she is suffering from some sub-acute infection which is affecting the liver. There are also features of hemolysis (breaking of red blood cells) evident from the raised LDH report. However, the laboratory report s are incomplete.
She needs a thorough clinical examination as well as laboratory evaluations like complete hemogram with reticulocyte count and peripheral smear, Viral hepatitis markers, malaria card test, blood culture, Widal test for typhoid, EBV viral serological test etcetera. So I will suggest you visit some pediatrician for a proper evaluation of her condition.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shyamajit Samaddar
