Wow, that is really interesting. Who is her insurance provider?
I haven't had GBS but I am considering it due to having diabetes and having been diagnosed with a fatty liver back in Feb. This was diagnosed via ultrasound and increased liver enzymes. I had a liver transplant (in Pittsburgh at Presby) and am now followed by the VA. No one at my local VA suggested a biopsy to confirm diagnosis of the NAFLD (Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease) but I think that if I were to go to a transplant or a liver clinic (would have to travel to San Fran for this) they would prolly want to do a stab and jab. I personally don't feel that this is necessary for diagnosis.
How are your mom's liver enzymes? Is she diabetic?
