WELCOME DAVID111

[Guest guest]

thanks pal When I think about some of the weirdo attacks I have had in the

last 6 to seven years I worry. I was diagnosed back then without a biopsy to

have a fatty liver. He has been pleased with the size and feel of my spleen

and my liver. I am also surprised to hear from people how many problems

started with Mono - which I had back in 1985. Hopefully this test will

answer once and for all.

Thanks

, I'm not contradicting Bert here because I know that some people can

be very, very sick when they are first diagnosed even to the point of

needing a liver transplant. However, I also think that when some people are

newly diagnosed, and their enzymes usually are very high, that does not

necessarily mean that they already have liver damage. When I was diagnosed

my liver enzymes were about 1500 and I had no fibrosis (scarring) at all at

that point. I think that the fibrosis and, later, cirrhosis come with time

although it happens faster for some people than for others. So think

positive, have your biopsy which will tell you if there is any liver damage

at all, and the treatment you receive, hopefully, will keep the liver damage

at bay for as long as possible.
