Hi

Don't panic, but if this is a recent thing - the pain I mean - it's important to get it checked, as it's not necessarily something that's totally normal when you have liver disease. D'you mean you have fatty liver with your hepatitis, or are they just saying you have a fatty liver? Obviously anything that's new that you haven't told them about needs to be checked, so make a new appointment, if your check up's not due.Don't worry too much over your liver function tests, Mine was 280 when last checked and no-ones panicking too much( not that this means anything) and the doc told me that things were going quite well re other tests - I have primary biliary cirrosis ). It's pissing me off though with my liver function as it dropped quite a bit when I stopped drinking, now it's not shifting at all-even goes up and down - but I do have auto immune hepititus, and that continues to get worse regardless in the main - though stopping with the ale has helped everything else, including my brain!

Back to your question, anything that is new and constant gives you good cause to get it checked, so make that appointment, and don't be put off.

I am going to see a gastroenterologist at the end of the month my gp said it is important to get checked for pancreatitis this pain is horrific and drinking boiling hot water is the only thing that eases the pain I have to starve for a few days before I can eat again thank you for your reply
