Do these labs point to cirrhosis of the liver

[Chris884]

Would like to tell you my whole ordeal. Back in 2005 went to a plasma center to give plasma. Few days later was told have hep c Went straight to doctor had ct scan with contrast everything looked normal. Got put a 1 year treatment ribervarin shot once a week. In 2007 I cleared virus. I also had the burning in stomach and side pain doctor couldn’t figure it out so by chance he did another ct scan found gallbladder sludge. He took gallbladder out. Still had same old pain. I asked him if I had cirrhosis he said no. Then 2009 he did endoscopy found the chronic superficial gastritis suggested reactive gastropathy. Told me to take nexium. And eat better. At that time I lost insurance at job could not go back. Couple years later I worry non stop about if I have cirrhosis or something. 2012 Stomach pain comes on after stressing really bad and have black and red stools. I go straight to emergency room tell them they do ct scan with contrast and tell me liver appears normal nothing wrong. Gave me pills thinking it might be ulcer. 2013 same thing happened again after worrying. They did ct scan with contrast came back saying liver appears normal nothing wrong. All blood work is in normal range also. To date right now I still get the heart burn off and on when stressed out. But haven’t had any blood. Just worried I have cirrhosis and they didn’t see it. Still don’t have insurance. Those results in 2018 I posted were last results. I just got another CBC with liver functions test the other day everything normal but still is showing infection some place. Doctor gave me antibiotics. And one year ago I had what I thought was a bad sinus infection left nostril pain then started to bleed. When cold went away the pain went away never had it happened again. I just worry that I have cirrhosis because of the painful nosebleed a year ago. I just had a CBC with liver functions done the other day at a doctor office because I was worried. Tell me what you think. I just had another CBC with liver functions the other day at a regular doctor everything normal liver functions normal just keeps showing high total wbc count high neutrophils low lymp and low monocytes. Doctor says infection some place. Thing is it’s been same on cbcs since 2012. Only thing that worry’s me is that painful nosebleed in left nostril a year ago I keep thinking it is cirrhosis and they missed it. I do drink alcohol off and on. Let me know what you think thanks I posted my last labs on previous post Look at them tell me what you would think. Thanks they are posted in here I posted latest lab I had done the other day. I just worry about that painful nosebleed I had 1 year ago was portal hypertension and cirrhosis. Haven’t had it since. Check out the lab tell me what you think. Latest lab on post.

Nobody here is qualified to give advise on lab results. Please speak to your GP

Also, cirrhosis is typically diagnosed with ultrasound, fibroscan, endoscopy (not a pleasant test!).

You should find a way to quit drinking alcohol, which is a poison to many organs, including liver.

You'll probably find that picture will be removed soon as we're not supposed to post lab results here as no one here is qualified to give you a diagnosis as to what they may mean for you.

From my experience, however, all the tests at the bottom of that sheet are the ones where you would expect to see some abnormality with the stage of cirrhosis you are concerned about. The fact that they are all within the normal range for your lab should give you some reassurance that whatever is causing your problem is unlikely to relate to your liver.

Your gp has indicated that you may have some sort of recurring infection. From those results I can see why they'd think that. If it were me then I would trust their expert opinion on that. Afterall, they do have all your history etc.

Hope you manage to get to the bottom of your problem. Good luck.

WBC above limit, neutrophils count high could indicate an active infection.

May want to ask about alt/ast ratio. Other than that it appears you are in normal levels
