Welcome! Please Introduce Yourself.
Welcome to our community! We’d love to learn a little about what has brought you here.
Hello! I came across this community while researching my new diagnosis, MALFD: Non alcoholic liver disease. I had 1 appointment with a gastro doctor and sent for an ultrasound. The doctor gave me a 3 month return visit appointment. But i am concerned now because I have my ultrasound results and don't know what to think. I have an ill defined hyperechoic area measuring 7.4 cm that could be related to imhomogeneous hepatic steatosis. consider a follow up MRI. So do I wait for the 3 month revisit?
I can understand why you would be hesitant to wait an additional 3 months for a follow up appointment. Do you have a patient portal that you could reach out to your provider through or a nurses line? If they would like for you to get a MRI, hopefully you could have your additional testing completed before your scheduled visit. Our community is here to support you, please reach out anytime. All my best, Julie (team member)

Brenda Bledsoe here. Diagnosed with stage II liver fibrosis. Instead of losing weight, I seem to be gaining. What can I do?
Hi Brenda, welcome to the community! We're so glad you found us. Losing weight can be a challenge, I'm sorry to hear you've been having issues. May I ask if you work with a nutritionist or dietician? I've heard from other members of the community that they have been a game changer in the weight management. Your doctor may also be able to provide some helpful tips, since they know your medical history. What do you think? Here is an article on diet/nutrition that might be helpful to read as well. Best, Alexa (team member)
