She needs confirmation of jaundice with liver function test, complete blood count. We need further evaluation of jaundice with ultrasound liver doppler, viral markers , auto immune markers, HbA1c, lipid profile.... with mild elevation in INR, one cannot come to a conclusion, as it might rise in infection as well.
Next Steps
please do the above mentioned tests to find the etiology, by means we can be able to treat the cause.
