How are Gallstones Diagnosed?

Gallstones are diagnosed through various methods, including medical history assessment, physical examination, and diagnostic tests. A healthcare professional may inquire about symptoms, risk factors, and family history to evaluate the possibility of gallstones. Physical examination techniques, such as abdominal palpation, can help identify signs of tenderness or enlargement of the gallbladder. Diagnostic tests commonly used for gallstone diagnosis include ultrasound imaging, which provides a visual image of the gallbladder and any present stones, and blood tests to assess liver function and detect any associated complications. These diagnostic measures aid in accurately diagnosing gallstones and determining the appropriate course of treatment.

Looks like my loser liver is staying intact. I have two small lesions on my liver--which is not as scary as it sounds! They're called hemangiomas and are basically clumps of blood vessels. As it is, considering that I have no symptoms and am otherwise in good health, they're nothing for me to be worried about.

But, at the same time, it's not a good idea to go cutting around them. And it also doesn't make my liver the best choice for the recipient.

Next step is to start the process of kidney donation. Which I'm cautiously optimistic about, because the scans didn't find anything wrong with those guys. I guess, in one way, it's selfishly good news, because kidney donation is significantly safer, but it's still a huge bummer. Ah, well. I'll just have to thinking about kidney puns instead of liver puns.

few days ago I offhandedly mentioned having my medical disasters show up in a handful of specialty text books, but hindsight is 20/20 and one of those is Extremely funny.

Tldr my rheumatologist penned a chapter in a textbook with a name that could not fit in a tweet, in which he used my 'strange' case of fibromyalgia to show the variability of the condition in children. Or at least that what my mother said it said. I was like 10 and also blind, and so did not read that particular work myself.

The funny thing is that despite him diagnosing me with the condition the second time I saw him after juvenile arthritis was ruled out via bloodtest, I never had fibromyalgia.

He misdiagnosed me and missed the again, in hindsight, extremely obvious case of EDS. He was the one who originally noted I was bizarrely flexible and that it was strange that my wide spread debilitating pain Wasn't localized to my joints, as it normally is in both Fibromyalgia and Juvenile Arthritis. It also came with my retinas continuing to try to fall off, and frequent bouts of internal bleeding. He was also the one to prescribe physical therapy to treat the fact my legs bent wrong and could barely walk because of it. But nah, surely that was unrelated to the pain thing. Fibromyalgia. Slap it in a textbook and call it a day. Come back in a month for another fucking blood test.

Got great news today, my liver numbers went down 30 points putting it back into normal function. Still have an ultrasound for it Friday but it seems as though the numbers were just spiked by my cmv and with that getting better so is my liver. Kidney’s are stable too, so really pleased. Dua Sobek!

“copper,urine,24″

??????? excuse me???? are you asking me to collect my pee for a day so you can test how much copper is in it???? isnt the one cup enough???? why i gotta do it all day????? 24 ounces? 24 hours? what does 24 mean????

you bet your ass im asking about that at my appointment (unrelated). thats absolutely not something i want to do lmfao or really think is necessary. i think theres an easier test to do if youre trying to check my kidney function. yall already know im deficient in copper, why you gotta double check the levels for it in my pee?

the amount of just waiting around suffering you do when trying to get a medical condition figured out is so mentally taxing. just living with itching all over my skin with no identifiable cause. took an exam on friday and i did well on it but i also scratched my left arm red and then later, made my left middle finger bleed bc i was scratching so intensely

dawg whats even the point of having a primary care doc if theyre gonna run tests and then not look at them for over a week and ignore when u call and ask abt them & tell them that ur getting sicker and then end up having to pay an urgent care MORE MONEY just to look at the test results. stupid fucking fragmented healthcare system that doesnt work even if u play along w the game
