@lylii Thank you SO much. Exactly what I was thinking about the FDA and Rezdfra. I'm in Oakland, California, so yes. I would have to get a referral for a new one, which can take weeks/months, but I'm thinking I should ask why he didn't read what he wrote or said. Originally, he said not likely cirrhosis but then I had the fasting test and he said it was likely, and his team would contact me and didn't. Finally, after chasing him, he repeated his first diagnosis, so I reminded him he said cirrhosis likely after the second test.

That all sounds incompetent. He wants me to have an ultrasound to make sure I don't have cancer, so I'm doing that next week.

Actually, a pain doctor said my ALT and AST were almost normal. I'm wondering if all this is about getting more people on Rezdiffra for kickbacks.

I am afraid you have to consider if your doctor is getting a kick back to push Rezdfra. It's too common with doctors and the "pill" industry. Of course, you could ask your doctor straight out if he is getting any compensation from Rezdfra. But a hepatologist is your best source for getting expert liver diagnosis and any medication. Good luck!
