Well this is just dandy

Got the email from labcorp and popped up to check it and then checked the University Radiology tests even though I didn't yet get an email. The tech at the radiology place was pffting that fatty liver disease doesn't cause abdominal swelling (you a doctor?) I think she was giving me the vibes that I was wasting her time for getting Scanned Whilst Fat. I wish she was right.

LabCorp - not in range for the celiac test, however Immunoglobulin A (IgA), Serum is out of range on the high side

University Radiology abdominal ultrasound. So far kidneys, pancreas, spleen, aorta, look ok. Liver, however:
There is a hypoechoic mass in the right lobe of the liver measuring 16 x 17 x 21 mm. Another hypoechoic mass measures 46 x 22 x 51 mm. Liver is diffusely echogenic. IMPRESSION: Diffusely echogenic liver with 2 hypoechoic indeterminate masses. Malignancy including metastatic disease is not excluded. Further evaluation with contrast-enhanced CT scan of the abdomen or contrast-enhanced MRI of the liver is recommended for further evaluation.

Clearly more tests are going to be in my near future to see how bad this is. Abso-fucking-lutely delightful.

Good grief! It isn't like you didn't already have enough to deal with. I hope they can figure out what you are dealing with quickly and that it isn't as bad as the report sounds.

If it's benign cysts, since the belly keeps swelling up, probably still would require laparoscopic surgery. Hoping it's just that. Either way the liver is UNhappy so while I'm waiting for the next round of scans, from looking up healthy liver diets and such, I need to scrap the vegan diet since I likely need choline and put eggs and fish back in. Also need to go low sodium.
