Hi



Your daughter with big liver and high cholesterol lipids possibly storage disease needs complete evaluation and it looks like they have started with liver biopsy.




Please followup with the metabolic specialist .




Arriving at a diagnosis is important to decide the management and prognosis.




God bless the child
