Elevated liver function tests/ u/s of abdomen

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

My liver function tests came back quite elevated.. even more elevated than

the end of July. As you may recall, I am having a problem with vitamin k

deficiency and am taking an oral vitamin k supplement as well as getting

vitamin k injections for the next three weeks.. then having repeat labs.

My latest labs caused my internist to be quite concerned so she ordered

me to have an ultrasound of my abdomen stat.. I had the ultrasound yesterday

morning. The sonographer kept asking me if I was sure that I had had my

gallbladder removed.. I had this surgery in Dec 1997. She was seeing areas of

calcification that she thought was on a gallbladder. After having me turn to

one side and then the other, she said she thought the areas of calcification

were on the back wall of the colon. I am clueless as to what all this means.

I am waiting on the report from the internist who is waiting on the report

from the radiologist.

I just hope that calcification on the back wall of the colon doesnt

indicate any type of serious problem.. like a growth, or beginning of a bowel

obstruction.. etc..

Take care

Hugs,

Have most of you had your gallbladder removed? I didn't... and have heard

others that have.... I was curious whether this is a common thing?

Hope you get better soon !
