Cali had the liver ultrasound done by a board certified internest and it did not show a external shunt so they then did a Liver biopsy done by a board certified surgeon that showed a mils internal liver shunt which are inoperable but her's is mild. The surgeon said that generallywhen the Bile Acid levels are high but not real high it usually means an internal shunt, when they are real high (300) it is usually an external shunt which they can do surgery on. Cali's BA was 0/94. Normal I believe is 0/15.
