How long to wait for biopsy results?
by potterylady, Oct 29, 2002 12:00AM
Hello all:
I am rather new to this. I found out I had Hep.C when I went in for a check-up for fatigue. The blood test doesn't lie, I guess. I am supposing that I got it when I had my first daughter in '82 - a C-section with complications and 7 units of blood transfused all-in-all. I've had other blood tests in the past years since and it has never showed up before. The only problem has been that I have had elevated liver enzymes on and off. At any rate, I had the liver biopsy on October 3rd and have not heard a word from the Gastroenterologist. How long does it normally take to get the results? Should I assume that no news is good news and that everything is fine unless I hear from him? Any advice would be appreciated.
