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.
