I agree with the comment about illness causing labwork to be abnormal. I am a pediatric nurse and I know if an infant (and this is true in adults also) is dehydrated the labwork can read incorrectly....because of the dehydration the blood cells are concentrated and there is less plasma..(the clear portion of the blood).
I do hope it is not a shunt problem...I have heard and read many places that University Of Tennessee (Knoxville) has the premier liver shunt MD.
Best of luck to your little one....we will be praying for you all...let us know how things turn out. |
