The bile acid results can't determine if it's liver shunt. That test merely determines the function of his liver. Further testing would determine shunt. Like a protein C test. From his results it doesn't sound like LS...those figures are usually higher than 100. He may have mvd though and that is controlled by diet and supplements.

Good luck...
