Scarring in Upper Right Quadrant of Liver

[Guest guest]

Hi,

My sister gave me the wrong diagnosis. The correct diagnosis is in the

above-subject line.

My question is: Could this be an indication if cirrhosis.

Would you good people write back asap.

Her next step is a sonogram. This was ordered after a CT scan.

Thank you - Bonnie

Bonnie - the appearance of scarring on a CT scan is certainly reason for

checking into it further. Cirrhosis is scarring of the liver. For most

people however, the only definitive test for cirrhosis is a biopsy which

they will probably order if they get the same results on the sonogram. I

don't remember having a sonogram after my CT scan before they did the

biopsy, but every doctor is different. Jan H

Cirrhosis is defined as scarring. I too am curious as to why they would do a

sonogram as its not near as definitive as a CTScan. They will definitely do a

needle biopsy if they suspect cirrhosis. Its necessary to determine the etiology

of the cirrhosis. There are many causes and types, If caught early and with life

style changes some scarring can be arrested or even reversed. There is treatment

if she has HepC., There is Cirrhosis from Nash, which is Fatty Liver that has

run amuck. There is s disease and of course Alcohol related cirrhosis,etc.

So once the cause and severity of the disease is determined you will know a lot

more. Please keep us informed and we are praying for your sister. God Bless,

Debra

Ed's cirrohsis is from NASH-non-alcoholic steato hepatitis....it results

from diabetes,high cholesterol,high triglycirides,etc-a combination of

uncontrolled things.   He rarely drank.

We don't remember days, we remember moments.

Life is not measured by the breaths we take,but by the moments that take our

breath away.

The short answer is.....YES. However, the fact that it appears to be

confined to the upper right quadrant of the liver is encouraging. The less

liver tissue is involved in the scarring the better the prognosis. Praying

for both of you. Be sure to let us know how the sonogram and CT go.
