Liver Pain
Hi, I pain under my right rib cage, radiating to back and right shoulder. An ultrasound showed fatty liver disease. A Fibroscan score was 6.5 kpa and ELF blood test showed Fibrosis between 2 and 3. My question is that does Fibrosis give you pain. Thanks in advance.

Fatty Liver
I have been told I have a liver which is “normal in size with smooth contours, no focal lesions but echogenic texture appears increased” - a further scan showed a “stiffness value of 4.4kPa, and a CAP of 259 dB/m” - how can I evaluate what that means? How can I tell if it is alcoholic fatty liver or

Ast:alt ratio
Hi. I don’t know if anyone will be able to help me with this. I had a liver function test at the end of December and was told that my alt was raised at 100. Gp told me not to worry and they would repeat the test in 4 weeks. I only managed 2 weeks and went back to gp with severe anxiety as I was worried

Can Fatty Liver Cause an Enlarged Liver
Hi all, Just as the question says can a fatty liver cause your liver to swell/become enlarged or inflammed? After a visit to my gp she said my liver felt enlarged on percussion. I am not asking for medical advice just opinions on wether an alcoholic fatty liver can cause the liver to swell/enlarge
