My b/f has pancreatits and just recently the dr found a growth near his pancreas on ct scan and ref him to a specailist the did they whole camera thing and said there was no growth, but they said his liver enzymes were slightly elevated and want to do more blood work to check if he has a (viral liver infection?) what is this does anyone know? Is t really dangerous? Im really worried about him? What can we do ?
The doctor is probably checking to see if he has Hepatitis A, B or C which would be a commonCommon cold viral cause of elevated liver enzymes. What you should do is continue with the doctor and get the tests that he/she suggests. Once you pinpoint the problem, then you can start to treat it!
However, here is a link for Pancreatitis information that I found useful when I had an acute 'attack'.... You can find a lot of other info online, too....
