My son has been sick with dark urine, yellow eyes, extreme tiredness, and loss of appetite. Blood work showed elevated liver enzymes and bilirubin levels, but tests ruled out hepatitis. A CT scan was done, and we are waiting for results. What could be causing these symptoms?

I am worried about an upcoming surgery for an anal fistula, specifically a subcutaneous one. I have a bump and a pinhole opening on the outside, with pus visible inside after applying pressure. I want to eliminate any possibility of future infection or sepsis and manage the current situation with showers and sitz baths. Should I proceed with surgery, and am concerned about potential incontinence as a result. My doctor mentioned a simple fistula close close in, and also discussed options like fibrin injection and seton placement if needed. Do I need a colonoscopy or any imaging to determine if there are deeper issues before proceeding with surgery?
