Liver

[TyiseChar1]

Oh boy I'm paranoid now I read a result and small cirrhotic liver doesn't sound good and bilirubin is 2.6 with gastritis also gallstones. Seems like things are ending.

Don't write yourself of. Gastritis means inflammation of stomach lining - are you on a PPI type treatment (omeprazole or similar)? Following discovery of my hubbies varices and portal hypertensive gastropathy he was started on Omeprazole to reduce stomach acid. A few years back they discovered gallstones in his bile duct and as they couldn't remove his gallbladder which was fused to his shrivelled shrunken liver he had an ERCP procedure to remove gallstones and widen the mouth of his bile duct to prevent future blockages.

Unless you are majorly sick with loads of symptoms you are not on your way out andcit sounds like transplant has been discussed in the past. (My hubby is not 10 months post t/p and doing brilliantly, most healthy he's been in 16+ years).
