Thank you for the query
I under your concern
His liver function are more suggestive of cholestatic dysfunction means some thing might be blocking the bile duct or something is infiltrative in liver.
This can be differentiated by ultrasonography
Some test like gamma Gt will help in addition.
Some time advanced tests like mri of liver may be needed.
Also prostrate specific antigen needs to be tested for prostrate tumor too.
All these tests will further help in clinching the diagnosis and treatment.
