@khh, As a patient, I had to look up Metuvar 4, and I learned that it indicates the amount of inflammation in the liver and the stage represents the amount of scarring or fibrosis. I recognize some of the symptoms that you are describing from my own liver disease journey. Connect is a patient to patient group, and as such, we share our experiences and are not qualified to give medical advice.

The reason that I asked you about a diagnosis is because that diagnosis is how your doctor and medical team will be able to identify what you need in the way of treatment and care. I encourage you to continue your proactive self advocacy as you seek answers. Have you been able to schedule an appointment with the doctor yet?

It does. My issue is that the NP I have seen has not done anything regarding my issues, not even let me have an appt with a doctor (and I’m a doctor). I know she is only looking at my MELD, but my scans, biop, pulmonary artery pressure etc are way worse than my numbers show. Just wondering if others had that issue and I see at least one person did.
Thank you.
