Help with test results meaning?

[Guest guest]

Miracles happen and I have a copy of the doctors report on a liver biopsy done

Oct 1997!!!

Of course I get confused from technology and wording as I have trouble

remembering for very long...or when overwhelmed.

This is what the report says:

Sections of the liver biopsy reveal a needle biopsy of liver tissue. The

architecture is disrupted by dense fibrosis bands which separate the liver

parenchyma into nodules. There is mild fatty metamorphosis. Scattered

lymphocytes and plasma cells are present in he fibrous bands.

Diagnosis:

Liver Biopsy: Cirrhosis, moderately active

-Fatty metamorphosis

Gastric tissue: Mild chronic inflamation

Gallbladder: Mild chronic cholecystitis and choleithiasis.

MY QUESTIONS I HOPE YOU CAN ANSWER:

1. I complained about gallbladder pain for over 20 yrs. In our family the

gallbladder will never show up as having stones.

So I told the Doctors that and of course they didn't believe me and all the

tests came back normal...

When I had the weightloss surgery in Oct 1997 I insisted the Dr. remove it. He

did and told me it was a perfectly healthy gallbladder. When results came back

from the lab well my goodness...it was completely full of stones!

My question is could an inflamed gallbladder have caused my liver problems?

2. I have had sepsis infections 3 times in my adult life. One time not

expected to live. Coulld that have done anything?

3. It also shows mild CHRONIC inflamation of the gastric tissue. Could that

have stressed the liver as well?

Unfortunately it doesn't say what caused it. But the fatty liver was not severe

15 yrs ago nor was the cirrhosis severe.

4. If this had been treated 15 yrs ago would I be stage 4 today?

Last week the doctor listed some of my diagnosis:

Thrombocytopenia, unspecified

Leukopenia

Macrocytosis without anemia

Cirrhosis of the Liver

Hyperspenism

Thrombocytopenia
