Hi everyone,

As I posted earlier this week I had an MRCP on Sat, Well I spoke with the Doctor

today and I am wonder if any one has had similar experiences to what my results

were and if so if they would share their experience. I have not been able to

find much information online to answer my questions.

The MRCP was none without GAD, as I am allergic

It showed a beaded appearance throughout, which I know is normal (this is not

new)

Here is what is new:

It also showed the left segmental duct to have a strictureat 50% of it's

circumference close to the confluence and the right segmental duct to be

dialated. I also understand that to be normal for the most part.

the anterior hepatis portal lymph node measures 3 cm x 1.7 cm and the posterior

hepatis portal lymph node measures 2.7 cm by 1.6 cm the protal vein apears to

have normal flow.

All external organs appear normal; however, there are multiple smaller

lymphnodes noted; however, none of them meet the criteria for adenopathy.

I know that adenopathy is common with PSC, Thanks Dave for that Info, But I

cannot determine if there is a normal size range and at what stage of PSC this

typically occures.

I am considered stage II and the litruature I found made it sound like anything

over 1 cm is considered suspicious. My doctor was evaisive on this question.

He did order a CEA and a CA19-9 which I know are both Cancer markers.

If anyone ahs any information or could point me in any direction to obtain

information I would appriciate it.

Thanks

Dawn

I am sorry that I don't know more but all I have been told is that enlarged

lymph nodes over 1cm should be further evaluated. I have according to scans,

nonspecific messenteric adenopathy, and I had no idea that it could have

something to do with PSC. Only a couple have been over 1 cm and all they did was

follow up scans.
