Hello doctor! Doctor let me ask, the baby has jaundice for 2 months, the doctor gave me a liver biopsy because of the high liver enzymes to find out what disease? The doctor said the family is mentally prepared. Looking forward to consulting your doctor? Thank you doctor!

Hello! The information you gave is missing to conclude what disease your child has? Currently, doctors are doing a liver biopsy for the baby to find a definitive diagnosis. Our family will wait for the results of histopathology, combined with clinical and laboratory tests, the doctors will conclude the baby's disease and advise the family!
Thank you for your question to Vinmec Health System. Best regards.
