Description
Badakhshan and co-authors set in 2023 normal ranges for liver blood tests in healthy babies and young children in Iran, for the first time. Such ranges help doctors read test results, and they must match a child's age. The study recruited 344 healthy children from three days to thirty months old and measured five liver related blood values.
Most values differed by age group. Two enzymes were higher in the youngest infants, and bile pigments were much higher in early life, then fell by about half in the next age band. One enzyme showed no clear age gap. The authors say these ranges will improve reading of tests in young Iranian children.
