What Causes Yellow Palms And Feet In A Child?

Hi, My son is 4 year old and we got his routine urine examination done. below is his report details PUS CELLS - 3-4 /hpf EPITHELIAL CELLS- 1-2/hpf RBC- 00/hpf Is this normal? We have got this test done as advised by doctor as my son palm and feet was yellow and also his eyes color from inside is not white. it is yellowish. We have also informed doctor that he daily eats half pappya since 2 yrs. Doc have told that it could be because of ceratin present in pappya. Please advise if his reports are normal?

hi
thanks fr your query
your doc has asked these tests Bcoz he was suspecting jaundice in your child

1)urine test is a simple way to go about to look for bilirubin in it,which in your son is absent
2) papaya contains carotene but that causing jaundice,i hv not heard of

neways, ur son seems to be fine...if symptoms and yellowish discolouration persists or increases we may hv to do his liver function test which will give a clear idea about proceeding further
