Fluid around liver post transplant

Hi, I'm 2 years post liver transplant, and I'm currently in hospital for a kidney infection. Thankfully they seem to have got this under control, even though my kidneys are only working around 43%.

The worry is that a CT scan has shown up some fluid around my liver. Pre transplant I never suffered with acities, so not sure if I should be worried or not. My hospital Dr is sending my scans to the transplant team in Birmingham, but I just wondered if it's normal or something to be concerned about as I have tenderness across my upper right quadrant. Thanks for any help x

Not sure, but it sounds like your doctors are on top of it so you can relax they know what they are doing and do it very very well.

Not what you're looking for?
