Hi everyone.
On 3/11/21, I got a FibroScan done that showed my KPA to be 22 and my CAP: 378. My primary doctor diagnosed me with Cirrhosis of the liver, and referred me to a Gastroenterologist.
I am 31 years old and in March 2021, I weight about 340 lbs
Immediately after the diagnoses I completely changed my diet and started walking. To this date, I have lost about 20 lbs. I currently weight 320 lbs.
On 3/29/21, I got to see the gastro, and he ordered a bunch of blood work and a CT scan. But he said, he didn't think I had cirrhosis yet, mainly because of my age, but that he couldn't say for sure. He said Fibro Scans can be inaccurate for people that are obese....I am due to see him again until June 2021, but all of my results have already come in to my medical record. Can anybody help me understand my CT results please? I know I need to wait for his official input, but just want to see what the community here thinks.
