Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My 31 yr-old son is seeing a specialist tomorrow, he has a cyst or something on his liver. His WBC is 22 and he has elevated liver enzymes. I was wondering what questions to ask, I will be with him. He has had a pain in his side for a couple of weeks and he has difficult breathing when he exerts energy.
Pain in right side of abdomen with raised liver enzymes may be due to many reasons like hepatitis,liver abscess etc. Your son need proper clinical evaluation and investigations. Most likely it is not related to cysts because cysts are generally asymptomatic and seldom require treatment.It also doesn't raise liver enzymes. Your son need investigations like routine hemogram,random blood sugar,complete liver function test,ultrasound of abdomen. Ultrasound is important in his case.It can exclude many possibilities. Further investigations can be done if needed. Proper treatment depend upon findings.
Get well soon. Take Care Dr.Indu Bhushan
