Sophia had high ALT and BUN along with GI issues, 1 seizure that we know of and enlarged salvary glands causing her to do nonstop licking/smacking. Did the fasting bile acid and post test. Pre was 11......great! Post was 34. I know 34 is very mild but the doctors were concerned because of her other signs. But that could be explained with other causes maybe? She's 3.5 yrs old and only weighs 3 lbs....too risky I thought!
