Guest guest Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 I was wondering if anyone out there could tell me what happens after an MRCP. Matt had his first one on Wednesday, and they didn't tell us anything afterwards. We don't have an appointment with the hep until a month from now. Does someone call us with results? Are they just testing to see if Matt has PSC, or does the MRCP serve some other purpose? I know some of the people on the boards mention that they have an MRCP yearly, so does it measure the progression of the disease? Thanks (as always) for the help, and hope everyone has a great weekend! Alison B. wife of Matt, PSC 2/2009 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Alison, That is exactly what happened when I've had MRCPs. The doctor went over it with me at my next appointment. The dr didn't do the MRCP a technician did. If they see something alarming they will contact you in the meantime. Hope that helps.
