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.
Will A Liver Producing Less Bile Cause Other Health Problems?
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?
its better to do following test before heading towards liver biopsy: 1. Liver function test 2. Fibroscan (kappa value) 3. serum Albumin 4. PT and aPTT 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. its unlikely to be linked to you other medical vignettes.
