Re: Anyone- liver ultra sound? Judy T

[Guest guest]

Hi Judy T,

When my liver enzymes were way high in December my GI ordered an

abdominal ultrasound with focus on the liver and associated organs

area. He never mentioned it could be caused from cancer. He thought

maybe somewhere in my biliary tree was blocked. The bili tree

connects liver to gall bladder, pancreas and small intestine via

common bile duct. I don't have a gall bladder though.

My ultrasound was normal so he ordered a MRCP which focuses on the

biliary tree area, also. That came back normal so then I had a HIDA

scan which is nuclear med test to check the same area. That was

normal also. Subsequent liver enzymes and related lab also came back

normal a month later that the first lab. All those special tests were

easy to tolerate.

My sed rate was up too. I didn't get any answers talking to his

nurse, and I googled liver ultra sound, and alot of the sites came up

with liver cancer. Okay, now I'm scared!!!!! Anyone have this

done? I need to ease my fears. I am on Liptor which I know can

effect the liver. But I've been on it for quite some time, and my

blood work has come back normal.
