My 3-month old daughter has had elevated liver enzymes since birth.  A liver biospy was done that showed mild copper deposits in the liver, so we thought it may be Wilson's Disease.  But her genetic mutation screening for Wilson's came back negative.  We are stumped.  Does anyone have any help?

This forum is dedicated to information and issues related to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

 

However the following organizations appear to be excellent resources for your specific concerns:

Good luck!
