Guest guest Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 dear all , I could do with some help from the collective wisdom on a personal health issue. I had to have an upper abdomen ultrasound recently because of some abnormal liver enzyme results ( Ggt and Alk Phos) . the results of the ultrasound revealed normal liver but some abnormality in the " hepatic venous waveform showing an increase in the retrograde phase " alongside a small amount of pericardial effusion. I know that pericarditis can occur in hypothyrpidism and I do have Hashimotos but all blood tests show it to be under control with thyroxine ( whilst obviously being aware blood tests dont always mean much !!) I have to have an echocardiogram in a months time but obviously would like start treating it now. Ive made a mix of the usual heart and venous tonics but wqondered if anyone could shed any light on any thing else plus some kind of prognosis for pericarditis in general ( I know thats like asking how long is a piece of string but you know what its like not seeing the wood for the trees when its happening to you! best wishes ,annette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
