About Me

My photo
I am a very proud mama of two children. I have done a lot of reading over the past 7 years and worked very closely with our wonderful pediatrician and nurse practitioner and have learned some useful medical information that I hope other parents will find helpful. I believe parents to be their child's best advocate. We know their "normal". I believe it is our responsibility to understand their medical conditions, symptoms, lab results and diagnosis so we can ask good questions and ultimately help in the good health of our children. **I am NOT a doctor nor have I had any medical training. I am simply sharing information helpful in my specific situation.** Welcome to "Pediatric Mama"!

Liver Function (Hepatic) Bloodwork

The hepatic function panel, also known as liver function tests, is a group of seven tests used to evaluate the liver for injury, infection, or inflammation. http://kidshealth.org/parent/general/sick/labtest6.html


TIPS:
1. Ask for a copy of the lab results.
2. Keep the results in your binder (See post "The Best Thing I Ever Did").
3. Ask questions and discuss results with both your Pediatrician and Specialist.
