I have Crohns Disease, cirrhosis and primary sclerosing cholangitis. Crohns has pretty much been in remission. I have a spleen that is more than double the size it should be and for the past two months I have had many bowel problems and very severe abdominal pain. I had an upper and lower done wednesday and two biopsies were done. The doctor told my sister I have ulcerative colitis and gastritis. I have a few questions actually. I have had many major surgeries, lost my tubes due to scarring and right ovary do to a toursn. I had c-diff recently for 3 weeks. Could my liver not putting out enough bile have lead to any of these problems? It s been a long time since my liver has been checked. Should I see about getting a liver biopsy done, its been many years sunce I ve had one. Can all of my health issues set of others?
Thank you for posting your query. Its better to do following test before heading towards liver biopsy:1. Liver function test 2. Fibrosis (kappa value)3. Serum Albumin 4. PT and apt Avoid spicy food, high salt intake, smoking and alcohol. Bile is important for Fat digestion and plays a vital role in absorption of some vitamins.
