Cali had Bile Acid results of 0 before and 90 after the first time and the second time 0 before and 32.5 after. I had her ultrasound done which didn't show anything so we had a liver biopsy done. She has a mild case of MVD or internal liver shunt which needs no treatment. My surgeon said that a lot of times on these lower BA scores it is indicative of MVD rather than a external Liver shunt. Also intestinal problems can cause elevated BA so I would have them redone if symptoms continue. Hopefully that's all it was. You can do a search of Liver shunt on here and get some good websites. I don't know how to post the links but this should get you the info you need. |
