@marthalucinda, I would like to begin by first answering your question about the cause of my liver failure. I feel certain that it does not apply here, but since you asked: I was diagnosed with Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC). It is a rare condition and it can lead to liver failure. I did not develop ascites until my disease progressed to cirrhosis and I was on the transplant list, along with many other yucky symptoms. I am glad that you brought up alcohol because it is not the only cause of liver disease.
I hope that you are using reliable resources for your search. Places like Mayo Clinic, and other major medical centers are full of reliable information. Avoid the .coms who are usually sponsored by someone for a product promotion. Here is the link to Mayo Clinic's Health Information about Liver disease. You will see that liver problems can also be caused by a variety of factors.

I wholeheartedly agree with @gingerw's suggestion to keep a journal/list of everything that you put into your body. Include any and all supplements, vitamins, and over the counter medications.

Here are some additional preparation tips that i found in the Mayo Liver Disease information link. These are applicable to any and all doctor appointments.
-Write down any symptoms, including any that may seem unrelated to the reason why you scheduled the appointment.
-Make a list of all your medications, vitamins and supplements.
-Write down your key medical information, including other conditions.
-Write down key personal information, including any recent changes or stressors in your life.
-Ask a relative or friend to accompany you, to help you remember what the doctor says.
-Write down questions to ask your doctor.

And here are a few questions that I thought of for you to ask your doctor.
-What's the most likely cause of my symptom?
-Are my problems likely temporary or long lasting?
-What treatments are available?

Martha Lucinda, For now, I suggest that you assume that this could something besides liver related. You are going to the doctor in 2 weeks to hopefully get some answers to your questions. What are some question that you can think of?
