These scans are not looking at cirrhosis.They are checking that your confirmed cirrhosis has not caused cancer or other changes/problems that need treating.
How do you know his cirrhosis has been confirmed? The ultrasound report seems to say no cirrhosis, normal echogenicity, and normal echotexture. It just seems that there’s a bit of inflammation.
Good to hear from you sweetheart. (No more choking on my morning coffee) your sense of humour is really missed!Very rarely I make on comments on here, not a very nice friendly site anymore.
Your report shows no cirrhosis, probably as a result of normal echogenicity and echotexture. Seems like you do have some inflammation though. Were your liver enzymes elevated?
But would they leave off the cirrhosis bit as it was already diagnosed years ago?I’m Confused again? 😂
Also, I have an ultrasound every 6 months and it always mentions that I have cirrhosis. But this one doesn’t?
Also, the liver clinic doctor never mentioned that I don’t have cirrhosis anymore? They saw the scan results. He even said my white blood cell count was low but stable for me and he said that was due to the cirrhosis.
Still, I’m seeing my GP on Wednesday.
Hey, I must be a weirdo!!!! Wanting my results to say cirrhosis 😂 😂 😂
Apparently this one does not show cirrhosis. I'm going off what you posted yourself. I don't know what the liver doctor did or did not mention to me. I only know what I read in the report that you posted.
I totally understand. Also, I’ve got a huge hernia mesh around my innards, that wasn’t there 6 months ago. Maybe that might be blocking the ultrasound? Dunnow 😂
I do appreciate all your comments. It is an interesting topic of conversation. No! I’mNot one of those strange people that wishes an illness on myself. If in-fact my cirrhosis has gone then I will become a millionaire, selling my cirrhosis cures in the internet 😂 😂 people will write books about me, I can go on chat shows 😂
I would love to go to the pub to celebrate my fixed liver. Actually, I doubt that I would drink alcohol again. It’s been 5 or 6 years since my last drink. I don’t count the days. I don’t call myself an ex alcoholic. I just don’t drink alcohol if that makes sense?
Many doctors believe that you can't diagnose cirrhosis definitively with an ultrasound. But others, and studies, say the opposite. It really depends on whether you are a borderline case or a clear cut case.
If your cirrhosis is advanced, the ultrasound my show ascites, other signs of portal hypertension, surface coarseness (echotexture would eb described as coarse,o rnodular), low echogenicity and rough edges around the liver. The ultrasound may also show a liver that is too shrunken or, if inflammation is there as well as scarring, a liver that is too big, compared to normal.
But, and it's a big but, if the cirrhosis is at an early stage, your liver can appear normal or pretty normal, yet at the cellular level, the cirrhosis is still present. The cirrhosis may be established but have incomplete aspects (thin septal and broken septal, no bridging or just a little bit, more or less normal cell structures). This is called "incomplete cirrhosis", which is what happens when your cirrhosis starts to reverse (regress) because livers do that--- often --- when the underlying condition that assaulted the liver stops (you stop drinking or stop eating badly or the hepatitis virus disappears after antiviral treatment, etc).
Livers can heal, that's the good news. There is no bad news, as long as you do the work and stay alive. Have another good day, then another one, then another one!
