Hi all I had blood test which flagged up something wrong with my liver , had more blood tests and a scan . After waiting and ringing the doctors for 4 weeks for results no news, my husband had a diabetic appointment at the drs and he mentioned that I had been waiting 4 weeks for news. The doctor managed to get my results up , not only got mild nafld but news to me I have got prominent renal sinus fat and mild cortical thinning . I asked the dr what do I do next and he said nothing , don't really know what to do now do I ignore him and see another doctor or what , what if it gets worse and it's too late to do anything , I know I can with a diet I can get the liver back but what about the kidneys . Thank you for reading and your help

Hiya Christine. If i was you i would speak to a different doctor. This is your health and life not his. Easy for him to say do nothing. Doesn't sit well with me at all. Good luck 🍀 pls keep us posted x

Hi saw my go today and it's confirmed I have mild nafld which with a diet can be reversed , he has given me 3 years to loose 30 kg . Told me it would be worse to lose weight too quickly . As for the kidneys he doesn't know if they can be reversed , I will have to have bloods done every 3 months and my blood pressure checked ( because of kidneys) . I am so glad I didn't take the other dr advice and do nothing . I did tell him I don't start the dirt till after Christmas though ,I'm not missing out on that he just laughed and said I don't blame you just cut down on the roast spuds lol . Thank you for reading and advice , hope you have a wonderful Christmas and new year x

that's good news 😊 so pleased to hear. Keep going with the tests and have a few extra roast for sure. No diets until after Xmas. Would be a crime to do that. 😂. Merry Christmas 🎅🏻 hunny and i hope you have a fantastic new year xx

Ask to be referred to a specialist, not another general practitioner. Good luck x
