Thanks for all the info  it is helpful. |
MVD is small shunting throughout the liver. It is inoperable, but is managed with supplements and diet. Oxalate stones aren't generally connected with LS. It is more often ammonium urate. Of course that doesn't mean it can't happen though... Oxalates are also less common in the girls.
