Hello,
Thanks for posting on HCM,
The problem is likely coming from the liver or her gallbladder. She might be having hepatitis or liver abscess. She will need evaluation of her liver (LFT) and an abdominal CT to determine the state of the liver and gallbladder.
She will need to see a gastrologist who can do a complete evaluation and determine the actual cause of her symptoms. Your sister might require admission.
If she is having skin lesions, liver soreness, bilirubin in urine, then her problem is clearly of liver origin. Testing ASAT, ALAT, BUN, alkaline phosphatase, amylase, lipase, viral hepatitis (B, C etc) might be what is needed to be done to determine the cause.
Hope this helps
