Guest guest Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 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. > > 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.
