Some parts of the liver may not have as much scarring as another place would, so if they happen to get a sample from an area that isn't as scarred it would give you a false reading so to speak. Does that make sense to you ? My hepatologist at the UW thinks that is what happened in my case.Debbie> > > Don,> > > > Question for you. You've yet to have a liver biopsy done, Right. You say you're labs are staying in the normal range. Well my labs have been in the normal range and look at the condition of my liver. Cirrhosis compensated stage. What is keeping you from having a liver biopsy if you haven't had one done yet. Mine went from grade 1 stage 1 to grade 3 stage 4 cirrhosis in just 2 yrs. Unless when they did my first biopsy they got the sample from an area that didn't show as much damage. Who knows. So how can you say your liver is not doing bad. Labs don't always tell the whole story. I can attest to that.> > > > Debbie> > > >>------------------------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
