New CT scan finding.. anyone have any ideas?

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

My latest CT scan showed " widespread mesenteric and body wall edematous

changes " . The surgeon and GI doctor are very concerned over this finding ,

and have ordered a repeat CT scan for comparison sakes.

Does anyone have any idea what could be causing the body wall edema in the

abdominal cavity.. I have had severe pain in my right upper quadrant now

since March 12.. I dont have a gall bladder. I have had the CT scan,

ultrasound of my abdomen, hidascan , EGD and colonoscopy as well as numerous

blood tests.

The surgeon said I need to have an exploratory laparotomy but now wants to

see the CT scan first. He did discover one incisional hernia and thinks he is

feeling a second one the last time I saw him in his office. I have the CT

scan on Monday and will see the surgeon again on Tuesday.

My blood tests are consistently showing elevated liver enzymes and

elevated bilirubin levels.

Thanks in advance.

Hugs,

from GA
