You so right. Once you know the deal, fixing it can start. Fortunately, the issues involved with this all have solutions, so you'll be as good as new soon!
Thank you for your reply, the second round of blood work testing for the presence of the virus hasn't come back yet and I'm scheduled for an ultrasound on the 18th. Hopefully they can get to the bottom of this, not knowing what's wrong is the worst part and I just want to identify it so I can begin to remedy it.
Your doctor is proceeding wisely and the ultrasound should provide some valuable information on what's bothering you. I'm guessing that he also ran the necessary blood tests to screen for the main viral hepatitis diseases, A, B & C? I'm also guessing that this were negative as well?
You mentioned soda, junk food and fatty foods in your message. We all eat these of course, but these are some of the main items that cause fatty liver disease. The ultrasound should be able to determine of you have this. It can cause some of the symptoms that you describe: vague RUQ pain and issues with digestion of fatty foods. This is primarily due to liver congestion of bile as the liver parenchyma becomes increasingly steatotic and enlarged. This will lead to your elevated Ast, Alt and Bilirubin that you've noted in your blood work.
Again, this is speculation based on limited data. The ultrasound must be done to allow your doctor to make a firm diagnosis. Let us know how you are doing, be well.
