Lipitor. The elevated liver enzymes were found during
routineRoutine sputum culture bloodwork. Since then I have had an ultrasound of the liver, gallbladder and pancreas. I have also had a CAT scan and a "scope" . The

Gallstones
Gallstones, cholangiogram
Kidney cyst with gallstones, ct scan or two. The "scope" showed no
blockagesPeripheral artery disease in the bile ducts but my gastroenterologist feels there is a blockage of some sort "higher up" in the liver . I have absolutly no symptoms. I have no pain. I have recently started to appear slightly jaundice. The doctor feels this is normal when theres a blockage. He wants me to now go for a liver biopsy. He also informed me that my pancreas and gallbladder are "clear". I have been off the Lipitor for the last 4 mos. My
biggest fear is cancer and I'm wondering what could be wrong with me. I have also been tested for hepatitis and the results were negative. I haven't had any alcohol for 6 mos. I was never a heavy drinker but did enjoy beer often.
