Post Kasai

[DHESEEGHANN]

my 7 months post kasai sons reading were fine all these days. But our recent visit made us worried, his ALT ALP elevated way too much. (ALT 1416) (ALP-1127). it was 100+ last December. But his bilirubin level was low 11 . At first the doctor did not reveal the Number to us. she just made sure my son is ok, active, no sign of fever of whatsoever. and then she told us that shes not sure why only ALT and ALP hiked these much. she preferred another blood work up right away. but after discussing with some other senior doctors, she concluded that recent vaccination might have triggered this hike. we were sent back home after normal medications. yet me and my wife still having lots f thoughts in our mind and could not concentrate on anything. i tried to do some readings on this, but none said anything on this reading. can anyone share their similar experience on this plz.

worried dad.

Hello, it sounds like the doctors are comfortable with your son's presentation and think that the numbers are linked to recent vaccinations. I think it would be worth repeating the bloods at a time the doctors suggest to see if they have settled down. Warmest regards, Kate

Hi DHESEEGHANN , Same scenario with my son. Direct bilirubin was decreasing but other liver enzymns were increasing. Looks it can be due to certain medication that elevates values. Hope your son is doing good

Bilirubin should be around 1 ideally . Only direct bilirubin matters . Don’t worry too much . Keep in touch with your doctor . May god bless your child .

Sir another thing … kasai gives you some time … even if it’s a success … it is not a permanent solution to liver disease .
