Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
Fluctuating liver enzymes including PT levels is worrisome.
A ultrasound of the hepatobiliary region along with a liver biopsy may be required if the levels rise too high. The synthetic and detoxifying functions of the liver also needs to be studied.
In the mean time hepatoprotective agents need to be started.
