Thank you for choosing HCM

Based on the symptoms that you have given, it seems that your son has a liver disease. This liver disease can cause fatty liver disease.

There is necrosis of the liver which causes the rise in the levels of the different enzymes. You will need to see a Doctor and may need to get a liver biopsy to help you get to the cause.

Please send me the results after you have them. I will be able to help you better after the results. All the best.
Hope this helps you.
