Liver Biopsy Results

Hi All, Hope all is well with everyone. Life here is doing great. I got my results from the liver biopsy. Well, I know a lot of things I don't have, and the two things I know is that my liver enyzmes are elevated and the liver is mildly (Stage I) inflammed (no duh!). Any way... next Wednesday I'm have an MRCP - a MRI of the pancreas, gallbladder, and liver - in particular the bile ducts through them and connecting them. Since the nurse in charge of my program is very certain I've had 3 gallbladder attacks in the last year, there's a good chance that there may be an issue with the ducts since I don't have stones. Of course, I'll let you know the results of that test when I get them. Dawn Still maintaining at goal!

Well hopefully this is good news for you. At least they could rule out things. I will continue to send good thoughts your way! Hopefully the MRCP will finally give you ALL the answers! Take care, Lori 281/150/140 Met first goal!

Hi Lori, I got the MRCP results and except for a small cyst on/in the liver everything is "unremarkable." . I have recheck bloodwork in 3 months. Dawn

Hi Dawn, Thanks for keeping us posted. I have to get my liver enzymes checked again as mine are still elevated. Have you had a Hida Scan done on your gallbladder? Alot of times the ultrasound will be negative because of no stones, but the gallbladder may still be diseased. That's what happened to my brother in law. I'll keep you in my prayers.

Howdy Tammy, I haven't had a Hida Scan. I've never heard of it. If the MRI shows negative and the labwork I'm doing that day still shows elevated enzymes I'll have to ask about it. I've heard of quite a few folks that the doctors finally caved and decided to take out the gallbladder even though there were no stones and found a totally diseased out gallbladder. Thanks for the prayers. Dawn

I just had my gallbaldder removed and I did have stones. One thing that is interesting is that since they removed my gallbladder I feel so much better. I used to feel not so good after eating anything. I thought it was just part of this surgery. For the last 3 weeks I feel human again. My doctor is going back and removing the darn things because they cause so much problems. I went through 6 months of test and I recommend just have them take it. The surgery was fast and easy about 5 days real recovery and then you have to lay low for about two weeks. No heavy lifting. I pulled and hurt something and then took it real slow and now I am 100% healed in a months time. Hope this help you guys if you have any questions just contact me. Diana

Dawn, Thanks for letting me know. So, it's still a mystery eh? I just had my liver enzymes checked again last week. I'll let you know how they turn out. Tammy
