I'm worried that they want to perform a liver biopsy on me...do they usually do that to diagnose liver problems or they only do it in extreme cases?
I, too, have a fatty liver from my ultrasound but I was told not to worry about it. I am type II diabetic. I have RUQ ache throughout my right side from a colonoscopy. I don't know what to do anymore or who to see.
Have you had a ct scan or ultrasound yet?
Hey thanks for the reply. Both the doctor and the person who did the scan said that its a serious problem so thats why i'm concerned.
I to am facing the same situation as you are. I was recently told last week that i to have what seems to be a fatty liver. i am a registered nurse and still i was uncertain what was going on, and my doctor has been no help. i to will see a gastro doctor next week to see what is going on. from all that i have read it seems to me that it is not much to worry about and the problem could be from diet and weight gain alone and that diet and exercise seem to help. from all that i read it seems that it is a reversible situation as long as you get a work up to make sure that there is no underlaying cause of the fatty liver. like you i do not drink or take any drugs.. a low fat diet, exercise, and weight lose seem to be the only answer i can find so far. it seems we are both in the same boat. good luck
