Cirrhosis with normal liver function

I was diagnosed a year ago after a normal CT scan prior to a colonoscopy. They found grandulomas (scars)on my liver and spleen. Liver was also slightly enlarged. I had no other symptoms. I had a liver biopsy which confirmed Cirrhosis. Docs think I have had this for some time and all my liver functions have been normal. I have been tested for Sarcoidosis(ruled out), auto immune disease and Hepititus (ruled out). Dosc think I could have had an infection at one point that hit my liver. What should I do to hopefully keep the disease from getting any worse. My GI Doc is optomistic. I also went to see a liver specialist at Hospital at University of PA who is suppose to be one of the top three liver doscs in the country.
Thank you all very much Posted on 04/09/09, 12:04 am |
