I have my liver scan tomorrow, to check for fatty liver or whatever is causing the enzymes in my blood. My son is coming with me at 6pm after work. I have been told not to eat after midday and just stick to clear liquids, like water, black coffee, tea etc. I dont really know what to expect. I have had ultrasound scans when I was pregnant and x rays for my broken leg etc but neither of these I had to fast for so wonder if this scan is different. Do you know if I will have a dye injected or if they ever carry out an on the spot biopsy if they see anything suspicious. I want to prepare myself.
My daughters boyfriend lost his mum in 2020 (younger than me) to a liver condition, she was a drinker though (I rarely drink) and my daughter noticed her eyes had turned yellow, then the next we heard was she was in hospital and my daughters family were told to come and say goodbye, I know its a totally different scenario but I had a skin condition with sores that my daughter said at the time that her boyfriends mum also had so it made me think a little. I know liver problems can causes issues with the skin but I am trying not to link these up.
If anyone can tell me a little bit about what to expect please 🙂
