Would CT Scan, MRI & MRCP have shown something up?

[Elektrik80]

Hi there

Following on from my previous post and as more of general question, i have had a CT scan of my Pancreas & Liver, an MRCP and an MRI and every time I have asked the consultant they have said my liver is okay.

I read the report from the CT scan and they said liver was okay and they picked up other things like a cyst on my kidney.

When I had the MRCP read back to me it focussed mainly on the pancreas and ducts but i presume they would have seen liver detail as well. They identified gallstones in my gallbladder and want to take it out if things don't improve.

I’m just wondering if they would have let me know of anything obvious like Fatty Liver or Cirrhosis.

I know that these aren’t the only conditions but its more of an open question as to wether these conditions are seen on those imaging scans.

Thanks

If anyone could shed any light I would appreciate it. Genuinely terrified at the moment. X

Good morning Elektrik80,

Sorry to hear you are so worried.

Although we are not able to diagnose , I am sure if there was cirrhosis or fatty liver present, this would have been picked up on your imaging scans.

May I suggest, if your anxiety continues, you arrange to speak with your doctors.

You can also call the nurse led helpline Mon -Fri 10 am -3pm on 0800 652 7330.

Best wishes,

I’ll go to GP tomorrow and ask for more clarity & ask more questions.

Went to see my GP again today who did nothing to alleviate my fears at all.

She basically reiterate the Gilberts causes no issues whatsoever and then i asked about abdominal pain.

She poked my left hand side and it hurt where my liver and gallbladder were, she then said she has run out of ideas and that the specialists need to sort it.

They want to take my gallbladder out but she said it really doesn't present in the way Gallbladder issues do but she also said that if they wanted to take it out then they must have a good reason.

She said i should take solace in the fact that my LFT’s are okay and that the CT scan radiologist said my liver was normal but it doesn't give me much hope tbh. I have read plenty of peoples experience when all tests and imaging came back fine but there was still a problem.

She is struggling to work out where my malabsorption issues are coming from but on the back of that she has ordered B12, Folate, Vit D, etc, full blood count and also coagulation to see if the bruising i have is more sinister than it seems.

So now i have Xray on my hip and knees coming back due to pain, all the bloods and a Coeliac test coming back this week.

I hope it shed slight on whats going on as im just disparing now.

Last week when i was told I had Gilberts i felt okay but now after coming back out i feel its either much worse or its all in my head.
