My son was diagnosed with Biliria Artresia at first month after birth. He underwent Kasai procedure at 2nd month. After that his stools are normal and bilirubin is under control. But recently he passed black stools and sometimes blood in the stool. His bilirubin is 0.4 and SGPT is 108 and SGOT is 84. He had two transfusions done since then. His endoscopy showed esophageal varices. His CT scan shows a vein bulged. Is the bleeding due to liver problem and even if his bilirubin is normal should we consider for a transplant. Or it can be prolonged?
