After feeling very tired and somewhat drained I had an ANA -RA-RA Titer-Blood Ammonia Level done ---the results were this ANA=Neg,RA=PositiveC,RA Titer= 1:40A,Blood Ammonia Level=16.9,the RNP=0.91 ,AntiDNA DoubleStrand=15 after that I also had a liver Biopsy done which revealed Chronic Infection then I was placed on Interferon shots for 6 months ---Iam still feeling somewhat awful my right side is not painful however feels like someone is wringing a towel out twisting at each end(this is how my right side feels)it has a constant dull ache like a toothache always there and my whole side is somewhat swollen in comparison with the left!I have constant heart burn and pain in the middle of my abdomin (abdomen) as well Recently I noticed a large lump just below my breast near or in part on the rib on the right side!It is not painful but visually there and noticeable!My eating habits have changed immensly at times I cannot eat at all due to feeling full!Iam positive for HCVand have been diagnosed with Chronic Liver Disease ---I was also told that I will need to be on Liver transplant list!Here are more test they ran but I feel like this Dr is running all the wrong test--Anti-Dsdna Antibody=15,SM
&RNP=0.91,RNP Antibody=1.91---Well Im not sure what these test are for but I was hoping at some point the  Dr would run a Liver Enzyme test as well as a Liver function test!My mother passed away from SLE and a brain Aneuyrism! Can you tell me if my pain in my right side is due to HCV ad is it possble to get a tumor or cyst on the liver? I have had several Lipomas removed and have found several more ,could the lump on my rib or liver be a cyst or lipoma!Thank you for your time concerning this matter! Toni
