Can my dr just add liver disease as a dx with out telling me

[mtk0925]

It’s on my chart liver disease but clear scans just slightly elevated liver enzymes

Doctors make their own rules it seems!

I called and he changed the dx to “abnormal liver enzymes” I called saying I’d really like to know what kind of liver disease I have and based on what exact test because I have only been with the dr for 5 years and we do an ultrasound every other year and he sent me to a specialist that ruled out a lot of possible auto immune things… so I’m just like huh?

That's good, yes be all over your medical health and ask every result. I'm inthe medical so I do know think evan pass by doctors and trust in your own results,they don't all see them either they are missed sadly and very scary I'm glad hear she changed that diagnosis. 👍

Yes he can if the results in his eyes are saying so, my doctor said I don't a diseased liver. What is doctor bassing this on?

The liver enzymes test only shows that it is off when the liver is really sick because the normal range is so wide. So if it is elevated, even a little, it needs to be checked into.

Thanks for your reply, I’m hoping it’s just the Prozac causing it I am going down to 3 pills a week since it stays in my system while

There are so many things that can cause elevated liver enzymes. It is such an amazing organ that usually heals itself and we never even know. I am glad you are catching it and doung what you can to help your liver
