If a child has elevated ALT levels, further evaluation is necessary. This may include:
1. Detailed Medical History: Understanding the child’s medical history, including any recent illnesses, medications, and family history of liver disease. 2. Physical Examination: Checking for signs of liver disease, such as jaundice, hepatomegaly, or ascites. 3. Additional Tests: These may include other liver function tests, imaging studies like an ultrasound, or more specific tests for viral hepatitis or metabolic disorders.
