Hello
Welcome to HCM
Thanks for posting your query in HCM
After studying in detail,your nephew lab reports are suggesting that she is having hepatitis because of cytomegalovirus and rubella infection.
Along with this as he has been diagnosed as having biliary atresia,all his liver function tests reports have been deranged.
He needs to consult a hepatobiliary specialist as soon as possible for confirmation of diagnosis and further intervention.
Thank you
