Curious as to why they are doing a scintigraphy? If they feel that surgery is needed for the bladder stones, why not do that and then explore and check the liver? They could repair a shunt if there and if not, then biopsy the liver. Seems to me that would save dollars???
Of course they would probably biopsy the liver anyway. Teddy Bear had one, but they are holding the sample until the BAT results come in. To send that out is a tad bit pricey and they said it really is not necessary if his BATs are ok.
