Yes your dr. could do an MRI, or Ultrasound and tell more about the size of the liver, and about the fibrosis, (scarring or thickening ) of the liver. Don't worry too much about that report, they put in every detail. A lot of these things are in mine, and says I did have cholangitis, portal fibrosis, and ductular proliferation. And this was 10 yrs ago, and in fact my bile numbers are less now. I've just taken the ursodiol for 10 yrs, and still there's been no big change.
