That's in the normal range for kpa. Did you get another reading for fatty liver? What are your liver function tests? Have you had an ultrasound? Why did you have the test?

Discuss with your Dr, principally.

I had F3 fibrosis, did a follow up.Apparently the 1st report I got was wrong.

Because when I did my fibrosis scan I was suffering from hectic alcohol disease.

So the reading was false.

All blood reports are clean.

And I don't have fibrosis.

Only fatty liver. I was misdiagnosed.

I thought in your last 2 posts you were 12.8 kpa, F3 and asking if you can drink wine?

Yes , I went for a scan yesterday. And all results were opposite to what I was diagnosed

If an ultrasound scan showed fatty liver the initial diagnosis of F3 was probably correct.

Still reversable though.

In perfect honesty, and you’re asking for a response, reading your last posts now this one, I feel you’re in a bad place with a desperate need for us to give you the go ahead to drink and will interpret your results as you wish.

You don’t want to hear that all these tests came from somewhere, you posted because you were scared and knew you had an issue (because you knew that continuing to drink with F3 fibrosis was totally dangerous), and that, whether F3 fibrosis or “only fatty liver”!!!? if you want the rest of your life to be long and as worry free as possible, you NEED to stop drinking..

It’s your call to make not ours. But please don’t think of any of your diagnoses was “only fatty liver”…. You’re in a dangerous path.

But I wish you all the best

Not what you're looking for?
