Hi everyone, I'm new to this whole Forum things so I thought I would just start anew thread for anybody who is interested in what my ultrasound test came out to be. I'm a little nervous about them. Keep in mind I do not drink. I have never been a drinker. So this is not because of any kind of alcohol or drug use except for for prescription drugs that I never abused. So I don't know why I have these test results. I'm 60 lbs overweight due to all my medical conditions. Is any of this related to PA?

Findings: There is no evidence of cholelithiasis or gallbladder wall

thickening or surrounding fluid. The common bile duct is not enlarged.

The liver is of increased echogenicity consistent with fatty

infiltration. In the medial/inferior aspect of the left lobe of the

liver is a 4 x 2.1 x 2.9 cm heterogeneous area which does not have the

appearance of focal fatty sparing. Follow-up CT without and with

contrast or MRI recommended for further evaluation.

The pancreas is not grossly remarkable.

The right kidney measures 9.9 x 4.3 x 4.4 cm without mass or

hydronephrosis.

Impression:

Liver lesion as described and additional imaging recommended.

As further investigation is advised try and go with it and get proper explanations from the doctor ordering them.

As for any connection to PA I do not know.

Have you got PA? Or suspect you do?

Thank you. Yes, I Have PA. What I think is that everything is being brought back to life and waking up with the B 12 treatment so things that were mild maybe getting worse just because they're being woken up. It is possible to have things that are not related to PA I just don't know anymore.

I don’t think anyone can say what is the cause until you have further diagnostics. Ultrasound isn’t that specific for diagnosis of these kinds of things and often needs follow up. It could be a number of things or nothing. It is always difficult with scans, I really do know that, but ensure you get a CT or MRCP scan quickly so you know what, if anything, you are dealing with. Again do let us know how you get on.
