Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Possible vasculitis associated with bile duct injury.
2. Liver function near normal. Mild obstruction seen at level of bile ducts. Immunosuppression necessary to avoid further damage.
3. Complete hemogram essential to evaluate for hemolytic anemia. Need further clinical details and lab results for further opinion.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
