Well in Lily's case, the Scintigraphy showed no liver shunt even though she had a very high post on her BAT. This combined with a multitude of other heath problems led to Dr. Tobias recommending a biopsy for her. She also has hydrocephalus which is usually treated with steroids but before we did that we needed to know if her liver was okay and if not, exactly what kind of liver disease we were dealing with. Turned out she had MVD so we couldn't use the steroids.
I had it done at UT. I would not have done the biopsy if her post levels were not so high and her other health conditions were not a factor.
