So I am pretty sure it isn't going to be "nothing". I dont want to wait 4-6 weeks. How much worse will she get? I mean, I feel like if I am not doing something RIGHT NOW... she is getting worse, not better.I just feel so damn helpless
I think a lot will depend on the BAT results.
If they come back normal than you could look for other liver problems and if they come back abnormal you could retest in a month or do other shunt/mvd testing.
