Is it unusal to develop liver shunt later in life? I always assume that other than old-age related issues, other problems showed themselves earlier. ZoE's almost a year old and I keep thinking...so far for good...we make it to two with no problems and we're in the clear. Maybe I'm wrong...
There are two types of shunts: congenital and acquired

There is a lot of information on the web if you google acquired shunt.

Here is one link:
