Liver not well visualised?
What can this mean? After a recent CT scan of my abdomen/pelvis consultant has written saying scan 'showed nothihng worrisome down in pelvis but CT doctors want an ultrasound for a closer look at my liver as it was 'not well visualised'. What may the reasons for this be? I thought CT scans were better at visualising things. I now have an ultrasound appointment.

Fatty liver and other difficulties
Dear Doctor
My name is ******. In September 2010 I was diagnosed with high cholesterol and I was given statin by my GP. But in Late March, 2011 I was feeling panic disorder, sleeping problem, weakness and blurred vision and at one stage I was forced to move my home back from UK.
That time there was sweating in my palms and legs and felt weakness and was admitted to hospital straight from airport. In the hospital I was found elevated ALT 133 and AST 58 and mild fatty liver. But all other in LFT were normal
Since then I am taking Vitamin E and Ursocal and bromazepam for sleeping disorder. The ultrasound says the size of my liver was 16.4 cm.
That time my TBC result was as follows: Haemoglobin 12.8 gm/dl. HCT 39.3% MCH 25.4% WBC 8.6 Neutrphil 50.7 % and Lympocyte 42.1% (20-40) range
Total cholesterol was 207, HDL 38, LDL 143 and Triglycerides 171 mg/dl
Yesterday I have got my new ultrasound and LFT test..it says liver size is 15.2 cm. ALT 60 and AST 30
but in TBC lymphocytes are 51% (20-45 range in different lab) and Neutrophil 37%
And in the lipid profile Triglycerides went up to 220
Is my liver is improving? what is the cause of high lymphocytes? I cant sleep at night often it comes in the morning...I am too much weak and have problem in difficulties to see in the evening...My weight is also loosing now I am 67 was 69 in March. Though I am taking low amount of food. Please advise me. Should I take statin? I cant tolerate it. Any other medicine instead of statin to control cholesterol?

Liver blood test
My 38 year old daughter has a baby of 6 months (he's being breastfed) and a toddler of 2 years. She has recently had a liver blood test which has come back slightly low. She was told that it could be lower because she's recently had a baby, so her doctor wants her to get another test in a month. Could having a baby have this effect on her liver? I'm worried it's something more serious.

Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) Test came back normal, is this a good sign that I do not have Hepatitis B & C
Hello,
I had a possible exposure to Hep B (or more unlikely C) in July last year. I have seen my GP and had all std tests apart from Hepatitis and all were negative. I have since this time in January started to feel nausea and have a dizzy type feeling in my head. I have had liver function tests + the ALT test which all came back normal, is this a good indication that I don't have Hep B or C or should I worry?
Regards
