What does shadows on liver mean

There are a multitude of possibilities and only further tests will be able to reveal what are the causes of a shadow on the liver are. Course of Action The best thing to do is to speak to the doctor and ask him to explain in detail what he thinks the shadow might be and what he intends to do to find out, if he does not know what it is.

Infuriating Attitudes Unfortunately, many doctors have an infuriating attitude when it comes to telling patients what is going on.

They will make some sort of statement, and then glibly add that there is nothing to worry about. Then they leave the patient in the dark for weeks on end. In the meantime, the patient makes him or herself more ill with all sorts of fears and worries. Why doctors do this is anybody's guess.

Andrew Rynne Family Physician Exp 50 years. Instant Access to Doctors. Questions Answered. A Doctor will be with you shortly. Hi, I am Dr. I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process.

Please write your question below. Can I have advice on what this means please. On the first of April I had an ultrasound to confirm gallstones which it did, bummer!!!! It also confirmed numerous lumps on my liver, 4 or 5 I seem to recall, of varying sizes.

The consultant assured me that they were Haemangeomas harmless tangles of blood vessels which are generally found incedentally. Of course it didn't stop me fretting about what I thought it was as I'm sure you understand. So basically if you can understand my ramblings I just wanted to pass on that although I totally understand your fears it doesn't have to mean anything bad xx.
