gall stones

I recently had a ultra sound they discovered  a small gallstone  also fatty liver ,  I have my biopsy 4/7  and wondering if these conditions point toward cirrosis (cirrhosis)? I hope not.

both gall stones and fatty liver are fairly common with HCV. For cirrhosis I would look more towards blood test markers, i.e. platelets, prohtime, etc
At least you are getting a biopsy soon and will find out the condition of your liver. Try and relax, most of us worried before our biopsy only to find out it was not that bad. I myself was convinced I had cirrhosis only to find out I was stage 1.

Hi!
It seems gallstones and liver issues are fairly common! I had my gallbladder removed prior to txing because it was giving me a horrible time intermittently and I was worried it would go bad during tx... I had several dozen stones and my gall bladder was huge! My treatment went well, and I am now Hep C free so far! ~MM
