procedure went well

hello there.. havent chatted in a while but just wanted to let you all know that today was Daisha's liver biopsy & the procedure went well:thumleft:. she was so nervous going in & said "my stomach has like butterflies, actually it feels more like doves" :ybiggrin:lol. I was anxious too but it wasnt as bad as I thought it would be.. the procedure itself only took about 35 minutes. she was sore when she woke up, they gave her morphine & felt relieved for a while. they monitored her for about 6 hours & then we were discharged. she is still sore & has been laying down dozing off, but overall she is doing good. Now Im just waiting for results, which take about a week & hopefully we will have some answers. I will let you all know when I find out. Hope everyone is doing okay.

Hey Vanessa, didn't they already rule out PSC? I'm just curious if they have mentioned any other possible causes. I hope they have a clear picture and an easy fix for it. Thanks for the update!

I hope so too.. & yes they did rule out psc due to mrcp results but they also were concerned that she might have auto-immune hepatitis because there is no explanation why her levels are so elevated. from what I understand the 6mp can cause this to happen but I guess its alot higher than even the meds would cause it to be. we've tried lowering the dose for a while but nothing has changed. she also has had a brown tea like colored urine which usually means theres something wrong with the liver. The dr said shes given it enough time to see if it would make a difference but nothing has changed. I am a little confused too because if the results come out negative for auto-immune hepatitis then we still have no answers but dr said we'll just take it from there.. Im trying to explain as best as I can but basically I want answers too.
