So I have liver disease?

[canard]

For a few months now, my belly been getting big. When eating small portion of food, still feel heaviness. Very small aching on the upper quadrant.whag could it be. Anybody with similar problem?

You need to go doctors none of us are on here

Yes as jojo mentioned it's best to see your own doctor . I had a big yummy 9 yrs ago with cirrhosis but that was due to ascites. Good luck.

[canard in reply to Millie09]

Thank you Millie09. What did you do and what was the treatment. And the outcome.

Could be anything have a doctor check you out , let us know good luck.

Like jo said, were not doctors. You may have something that has nothing to do with your liver.

Any treatment and help we have gotten to similar issues you have would not apply to you, as, again , who knows what you may have..if anything at all.

Good luck.

It always amazes me when people come on here without having been to see a doctor. This is a support and information sharing group. But all of us see consultants, and have had extensive testing, treatments, transplants etc.

Take care,

Went to see a doctor today. Abdominal and pelvis ultrasound was ordered. As well as all the blood work.

Thank you for your answers.

The ultrasound should show the cause of swelling and your GP will explain this to you.

[dckimberly in reply to canard]

Good luck! Hopefully it won't be too bad, and really, I hope it's not liver disease. Trust me, you don't want that. Maybe it's yr spleen? Mine is twice the normal size!

Also, it's funny but your belly is the only area in your body where you can have sickness in one place, but feel pain on the opposite side. So strange!

Cheering you on!

Got results of my blood work today. All liver enzymes are good. Only a1c at 6.3 and lower but D and calcium.

[canard in reply to canard]

Going for my complete abdominal ultrasound in two days.

[canard]

Had abdominal ultrasound done few day ago:

. Calcified granulomas in the spleen

.cysts on both kidneys

.liver steatosis (fatty liver)

.no presence of ascites

Haven't had a drink for over 8 months. A little bit overweight.

Get the copy of the results from the radiologist. Have no received a call from my PCP.
