Liver ultrasound results

[tnchikadee]

Hi everyone. So I had my liver ultrasound on Friday to see y all my liver enzymes were elevated and showed increasing elevation after 2nd blood draw 6 weeks later. Nothing, no call from doctor. I called office left message to call me and nothing. It has been 4 days now. I am worried. Also I just noticed on my first blood test paperwork, it was sent back for another liver test . It came back with Liver ejection , normal, bone ejection normal and intestine ejection normal. Does anyone know what all that means? Thanks so much. I live in the US btw.

if you got the ultrasound at hospital or imaging center they are required to give you the results 72 hrs after they send them to the doc which they usually do almost immediately so they can get paid, that is how it works in Atlanta, I got my images and radiology report the following day from the actual people that did the procedure, whether or not you can interpret the report is another thing, if you are concerned I would call the place that did the procedure you will have to pick up report in person

Hi tnchikadee,

Keep calling the doctor's office - some seem to need reminding. It could also be that the results haven't arrived at your doctor's office yet, but they should still get back to you.

Ejection fraction measurement is apparently a different type of test, but normal should be comforting as it "should" mean that things are normal with no noticeable problems.

Best wishes,

Mary
