Yes, it's a good idea to post in the Transplant group. I have had 2 liver transplants over 24 years because of an unusual and rare Hep C, genotype 3. My ALT and AST was very high before transplant. However, after about a year after my 1st transplant they found issues with my bile. My bike duck was not working as well as my pancreas ducts. They performed another surgery to redirect my two ducts from my stomach to the too of my small intestine. That solved the issue. But the Hep was untreatable for another 15 years. Finally we found a med to treat it and a year later it was gone. But I still needed a 2nd transplant around a year later. Now it been find for the past almost 7 years.

Hi and thank you for the reply.
I'm glad that they were able to figure it out and I hope that you feel better now 🙂

On the ultrasounds, both my pancreas and my gallbladder looked just fine... If you don't mind me asking, how was the issue with the bile ducts found? Ultrasound or lab tests?
