ultrasound and blood test
i just have a ultrasound report with cirrhosis on my liver, but all of my blood test was fine but the alt and ggt are a little bit high, my doctor sent me to gastroenterology doctor, and he said " u are totally fine and u dont have cirrhosis and i am so confused now, i just had a 3 year old kid and a month old baby...... i am so scary now..
thanks dee! yup I asked my gastroenterologist liver specialist (hepatologist). doctor many time , do i have cirrhosis ? he said no! that is why he dosenot want me to do biopsy. so he is gonna do a CT for me on oct 13th. thanks for ur time and sorry my poor English , thanks again Dee!
yup , the infectious disase doctor told me that i have cirrhosis, cuz my ultrasound report that cirrhosis on my liver but without another information , how big how long, etc.
Hi I can see that your ALT and GGT is elevated other than that you look ok.
If you had any alcohol before the test this could affect your results.
So...your gastroenterologist has scheduled a CT scan for you in two weeks?
Your gastro says you are ok
Your family doctor said you are ok and told you not to see the infectious disease doctor?
The infectious disease doctor is the only one stating you have cirrhosis?
Sorry to repeat what you said, I am trying to understand.
I can understand this is all so confusing.

thank you , flyinlynn ! my gastroenteroloist , he is also a hepatologist liver specicalist , he said that I i am fine because ultrasound sometimes cannot detect cirrhosis on the liver and he isnot recomanded me to do a biopsy cuz it is dangerous , he made an appointment for me on 2 weeks later to do a CT , and this morning my family doctor called me and tell me dont worry too much u will be fine and i dont need to see my infectious disease doctor anymore. thanks again for helping.
Your gastroenterologist is a specialist in all things in the abdomin. You infectious disease doctor specializes in just that infectious disease.
Can you ask him why he said you have cirrhosis when your when your gastroenterologist says you are fine. He would be the one to ask that question.
If possible you should see a hepatologist a liver specialist they should be able to give you a good and clear answer
Good luck

i have hepa B , so i need to do ultrasound every 6 months , my gastroenterology doctor said , i dont need to do biopsy , he said , u are fine. that is why i am so confused ,.why did my specialist infectious diseaes doctor ( my new doctor ) says i have cirrhosis. sorry english isnot my main language
Have a IU ever had a liver biopsy? That is the he gold standard for diagnosis of cirrhosis. Why have you been having 6 months blood tests and abdominal ultrasounds? Is your doctor a hepatologist?

report says there is no evidence mass/lesion on your liver. cirrhosis on liver. on recently ultrasound . that is all on my report.
Can you post the results of your ultrasound report?
If you are concerned about having cirrhosis, you should consult with a liver specialist (hepatologist). Your doctor did not do you any favors by discounting an ultrasound report without explanation.
You need to know where you stand. Why are you having ultrasounds and labwork every six months? A little background will us to help you. We are not doctors but have a lot of personal experience with this.
