Arrange to see your GP and get your bloods taken to see if anything has changed. You may need to go back and see your specialist. Good luck. X

Hi all. I have been told that my LFT results arnt too bad. A liver ultra scan showed nothing. But the PAIN is incredible ???????

[nutrimar]

Unfortunately, the pain in your side is all part of the disease. The best thing to do is get yourself to the doctors asap. Have you been recommended to a transplant team for assessment?

[Karlimc93 in reply to nutrimar]

Nope no transplant says I can't get one of them till I turn yellow that was the doctors words really hurt.

[carmik in reply to Karlimc93]

Absolutely rubbish my husband never went yellow but had a transplant two years ago

I agree with the other replies. If you have been diagnosed with liver failure have you been placed on the waiting list for a transplant? If so contact the liver unit immediately. If not you need to contact the unit which diagnosed the problem urgently. Good luck.

If lft's are okay and liver ultra sound is clesr why the terrible pain in my liver ?????

[IdgieThreadgoode]

The liver itself doesn't have any pain receptors, but if your liver is enlarged, it may put pressure on other tissues/organs/... in the area which causes liver pain below the rib cage on the right side of your body. It may get worse when you take a deep breath. In general, your doc sees the enlarged liver in ultra sound. Other deseases may cause similiar symptoms (gall stones, gastritis....), so you need to be checked by your doctor. Do you/ did you have an acute or chronic liver failure and do you know the reason (autoimmune, viral, toxic...)?

Also, a lot of people with liver problems are susceptible to pancreatitis. I'd be worried that something like that was going on and get back to my doctor ASAP.
