OT: liver biopsy

[MaryL]

This is *way* OT, but I am scheduled for a CT guided liver biopsy on
Friday. Have any of you had that procedure? If so, can you give me any
information on the procedure? My ANA results are "markedly positive."
There is a possibility of fatty liver or autoimmune problem. I should
know more after the biopsy.

Let's have no jokes about beef liver, please. ;o)

Good luck MaryL, I know little of this as you describe it.

What little I know speaks to Lupus (related to ANA tests). Before you
freak, there (if Lupus) are many types and the onset in women is
generally around age 40 with a normal lifespan for most.

50% of my Doctors swear I have SLE (Lupus version) but the USA Veteran
Association (VA) will not count it unless the ANA test is positive.
Problem is they don't track 20% do not test positive. (at least early).

If it is Lupus, the I have probably had it since about year 2000. I'm
still here.

I haven't had a liver biopsy, but I can speak to autoimmune diseases if
that becomes the case and you wish to talk about it (privately). The good
news is that antinuclear antibodies (ANA) are commonly present even in
healthy individuals, and the percentage of people that test false positive
goes up with age. Take it one step at a time, and try not to stress about
possible outcomes. You'll be in my thoughts and prayers.

Ironically, there have not been any symptoms at all. From what I have
read, that is common. The problem was picked up in a routine blood
test. That was followed with another blood test that confirmed the
result. My doctor then referred me to a gastroenterologist. He ordered
a more specialized lab test plus a sonogram. I have also had an MRI.
All of this led to the prescription for a CT liver biopsy.

A very rare, but nice meal for me is even just KFC dark meat, side of

In the old days, they served soft rolls and butter...much better, imo.
Anyway, I'm just waiting for coupons to show up. KFC is a bit overpriced
for what they offer without a decent coupon.

I like many fast foods but I rarely buy them. For this reason, they are
a very nice treat to me when I actually do buy some.

Trans-jugular? If so, I have. The point was to reduce bleeding risk due to
low platelets. Probe is guided through jugular and arteries to the interior
of the liver where a fine needle sample is taken. I don't know that the
imaging was CT based but they could see what they were doing. It was
"conscious sedation" so I could hear and see a screen where they were
guiding things but was too out of it to pay any attention. That was a long

Actually, with proper medical care and follow up, most people with lupus
live a normal life expectancy, not a reduced one. It is only the sickest
of the sick that die early from complications. Since you aren't even
clinically diagnosable, I highly doubt you can claim your life expectancy
is less because of it.

And sometimes other tests are warranted. Ultrasounds aren't always
conclusive, and further, some forms of fatty liver can cause inflammation
and scarring, causing cirrhosis. A biopsy can diagnose the nature and
extent of it. An ultrasound cannot.

Very good, you sound like a patient with good critical analysis skills.

Yes, a biopsy is basically a procedure to obtain a very small sample of cellular tissue to look at it under a microscope and see if there is any evidence of cancerous cells. The only real objective way to obtain the evidence of cancers. All the "marker" tests merely look for bloodborne evidence of possible cancers somewhere in the body. A liver biopsy looks at the liver tissue itself for evidence of cancers in your liver.

Liver biopsies are also done to diagnose and gauge cirrhosis, hepatitis,
hemochromatosis and other liver disorders--not just cancer, and certainly
not "cancers".

Thanks for all the good thoughts that many of you have posted. I had
hoped to have results by now, but I was told today that the test has to
be sent to pathology and that takes a couple of weeks. I can tell you
that there was nothing to fear from the actual procedure. It only took
about 15 minutes for the CT guided test, and it was no more painful than
a bee sting. I was awake the whole time, and the radiologist was
talking to me and explaining everything. The most uncomfortable part of
the procedure was that I had to keep both arms raised above my head (on
the table, not lifted in the air) the whole time. I have arthritis, so
that did hurt my shoulders. However, it did not do any damage.

Hi Mary. I see this post is pretty old and I hope you're doing OK. I'm

I apologize for the long delay in reporting on the results of my liver
biopsy. I wanted to wait until I had some definitive information, and
the delay was caused because we were waiting for the pathologist’s
report. The report has also been sent to a second pathologist to verify
the findings.

Basically, I learned that I have fatty liver advanced to the stage of
cirrhosis. The diagnosis is NASH (NonAlcoholicSteatohepatitis–I do not
drink and never have). I was actually somewhat relieved by the
diagnosis. I certainly did not like to hear about fatty liver, but I
expected that based on previous tests, and that is compatible with my
history of diabetes. On the other hand, there is no evidence of
autoimmune hepatitis, and the test was negative for malignancy and
dysplastic hepatocyte.

One recommended change is to change my diet and lose weight. I told my
doctor that I had already started to work on weight change some time
ago. It has been a slow process, but I have lost about 25 pounds. He
said “your liver will love you.”

There are many reports on the Internet concerning NASH. Here is one:
http://www.healthline.com/health/fatty-liver#Overview1

I have not had any symptoms at all, and that seems to be common.
Actually, my biggest problem has been constant issues with vertigo. I
have been to several doctors, and no one has been able to help with that.

I take two pills for it, but life prior to that wasn't worth living so
I figure that balances it out. My commiserations, can`t imagine

It's good news! Fatty liver is reversible and pretty much your doctor's
advice to lose weight (meaning fat) is all you need to do. Easier said
than done! Did they say if the vertigo might be related?

[The Greatest!]

Well, all seems fairly "manageable", so that is good! But the vertigo thing really sucks, I had a few episodes years ago, and it was the most helpless feeling I'd ever had in my life. IIRC there is not a whole lot one can do about it...I hope your episodes are very short, and very few.
