Thank you both for your responses. I am making an apt with the Gerontologist
My doctor had the nurse tell me the results and all she said to do was not take any acetaminophen until I see her in March. Kinda weird with the resultsa sounding so dire, huh. Well this Liver thing has me going to be scoped and to have a CAT scan of my chest.
I quit drinking 27 years ago, and smoking 3 packs a day a year later.
Never had a thought about my liver, and look at the results, so now I am going for the 2 things I have always been concerned about. SOOOOOO At least something good has come out of this --I won't be ignoring 2 tests I should have had years ago.
Amazing since I have never had a cold or any other sickness for some 20 years. Seriously! Now I find out my Liver is squirrely--this is how it starts I fear.
I will keep you guys posted as I know my story may help others.
Thank you for the concern and your help.
Hi I hope you find an answer soon. As Cary said there is a disorder called NASH It is a non alcoholic disorder of the liver.
It can cause the liver to be enlarged.
I have a friend who is over weight, has diabetes. She found out she had NAS when she lay on the floor and felt a lump. It was her liver, very enlarged.
She has been told to change her diet as well as lose weight to help her.
She had a biopsy and is close to cirrhosis.
I am not saying you have that. I am just saying it is really important to find the cause.
I hope you will come back and let us know how you are.
Take Care
There is non-alcoholic fatty liver as well. If you are overweight, it would be very important to lose weight.
They may have to do a liver biopsy to figure out the cause and seriousness of your condition.
