My internal medicine doctor hasn’t had much to say (“maybe a little inflammation”)
and doesn’t appear interested in
symptoms (“probably combination gas
and stress”). He says it’s taken longer for ALT to fall than expected, but not alarming. Next step is more LFTs, then a GI (until then, waiting game).
Would cirrhosis be detected on an U/S? How likely is chronic pancreatitis given these symptoms? Wouldn’t that have shown some abnormalities on the pancreatic enzyme tests?
