My DS had some blood tests, they came back with raised AST, a liver enzyme.
Apparently it could mean liver damage for a number of reasons, or it could come to nothing.
We have to test again in a month. I'm trying hard not to worry. My DS is 7mo and appears healthy.
He only had the blood tests as a precaution because he's large and it's standard for babies over the 99.6 percentile. Everything else came back normal.
Does anyone have any experience of AST / raised liver enzymes?
