Total Bilirubin 2 is ok. Keep an eye on sgot/sgpt and direct bilirubin. If direct bilirubin below one then it’s good . In your case kasai was done at right time which is 3 month or earlier . Hope for the best … keep in touch with your doctor . My sons kasai failed he undergone liver transplant … may god bless your child .
