Do you know what the bile acids test number was? That would tell you if you may be dealing with a shunt or perhaps just asymptomatic mvd.

Before you panic, retest her. Then if her BAT is still high, a protein C test should be done to see if a shunt is likely.

Here are some good links to information from two experts on liver disease, Dr. Center and Dr. Tobias.
