Update on 5 Year Old Son (UC-IBD) and Vanco

Update,

For my son who just turned 6, we started on Ursodiol and Prednisone in mid July (after UC-PSC diagnosis in early July 2020). We got him on Vanco (1000 MG per day) in late July 2020.

His initial numbers from July 8, 2020:

ALP: 969 (Normal Range: 142 - 335 U/L)

AST: 197 (Normal Range: <41 U/L)

ALT: 220 (Normal Range: <42 U/L)

GGT: 458 (Normal Range: 3-22 U/L)

CRP: 22.3 (Normal Range: <5)

ESR: 76 (Normal Range: <15)

This week’s tests (after about 11 months on ANI brand Vanco). All LFTs normal, even GGT, are now normal:

ALP: 253 (Normal Range: 142 - 335 U/L) Normal (decrease from last test )

AST: 27 (Normal Range: <41 U/L) Normal (same range as last test)

ALT: 30 (Normal Range: <42 U/L) Normal (same range as last test)

GGT: 21 (Normal Range: 3-22 U/L) Reduction from 36 on last test and first time in normal category!

ESR and CRP normal.

Everything else normal

We are very happy with these numbers!
