My son had a Kasai procedure performed at 60 days old. He just had his 2 weeks labs and his bilirubin is a little higher than right after surgery. Did anyone have this happen and go on to have kasai be successful?
Thank you!

I have heard in some cases it does take time for the numbers to go down but I’m not sure how much.
What is your son's progress now brother?
His bilirubin levels are still the same (elevated) he goes to the hospital on Wednesday to have an ultrasound. He still has jaundice so I don’t think the Kasai is working. Drs say could still kick in?
Not what you're looking for?
