Hello, my name is veronika, my niece was born 12 days ago (June 27) and there have been multiple tests done but still no answers. So I thought I could get online medical advice. My niece's (Charlet), has had jaundice since day 1, today her direct bilirubin is 2.0, this is the only abnormal test that came back, also today the nurse noticed her stool to be a light color. On day 1 and 3 the bilirubin was 5.9 along with elevated trigylcerides and elevated creatine, but now these two are normal. They did an ultrasound of the liver and kidney and both came back normal. We had the HIDA scan done yesterday and it shows that the radioactive tracer does not exit the liver into the gallbladder and it slowly enters the intestine, so no answers yet but the Dr. doesnt think it is Biliary Atresia, then what can it be? Her weight gain in normal, she was born 5.15lbs and today weights 6.96lbs, her stool is clay colored though. Not sure what this means. Please help and advise
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Veronika
