Talk to doctor!: This type of situation needs a thorough discussion with the child's doctor. Blood test results should be interpreted with knowledge of the child's history, family history, and physical exam findings as well as the specific findings and rationale for the tests themselves. Good luck!

Depends: The labs might reflect the cause of poor weight gain or reflect that the child is not optimally nourished. Best bet is to follow up labs with the doc who ordered them.

My ALT is 140, AST is 40, and Bilirubin is 0.3. I haven't spoken with my doctor because the results came directly from the lab. What does it mean if you have high ALT, but normal AST? I'm worried.

High bilirubin blood test 2.9 and high hematocrit 53% these are last lab. From 3 month high bilirubin, high hematocrit, high hemoglobin 17.2. Hemoglobin now is normal 16.9. Could it be polythcemia vera or cancer. Can high hematocrit increase bilirubi?
Labs normal except Bilirubin 1.5 (fasting over 20 hours) Asymptomatic and feel great. AST 14 ALT 17. Is the slightly elevated bilirubin a concern?
