Save 1,000's of hours in research into what you are looking for. Ok, these resources
may look very Medical. It has taken over a year for myself to build up sufficient knowledge. I am telling you now, that these people who provide the resources make many mistakes., but try to soak it all in. You will learn what mistakes they have made, after you view many videos.
A good video to watch. Did your Liver Specialist give you this info? If not, why not?
It is fantastic that GESA has a great resource section online. Guess what it's called ? "Patient Resources". It is quite astounding that all the Brisbane Liver Specialists are members of GESA and go to the National GESA conference every year, but they can't be bothered to give you one web address. Isn't is astounding ? Do Liver Specialists want to hide this information. GESA doesn't say "Liver Specialist Resources". GESA says "Patient Resources". What is the world coming to if Brisbane Liver Specialists hide this information from Patients?
A good video to watch to see what's normal and what's abnormal. Includes grading of Fatty Liver. If you don't know what grade Fatty Liver you are, you don't know what to reverse.
Another good video to see what your conditon may be.
This video is using CT instead of Ultrasoundto evalate the Liver abnormalities. Unfortunately they are not good teachers since they don't actually use pointers on the screen to refer what they are talking about. I hate that. But any information is better than no information. I like the HU comparisons which never seem to be on a Radiologist report, or discussed by a Liver Specialist. Correct me if your Liver Specialist does in fact discuss HU units with you. I have 5 CT's and there is no HU measurements on these scans. It would be great to hear from you have a different experience. Liver Specialists - Please send me an anonymous written report to a GP that mentions HU units. This could put some faith in Liver Specialists again.
This is a good video especially describing Portal Hypertension.
Dr Sam is great. In this video he is teaching Liver Specialist how to write a report. A Liver Specialist needs to combine the scan images with Clinical findings (what he sees on your body, eg, Jaundice, Spider veins, loss of weight, etc). So patients should also study this video to at least learn how a Sonographer,Radiologist,Liver Specialist can Grade Fatty Liver. Without grading, you as a patient don't know what you are trying to reverse. Dr Sam gives a lot of information including how the Sonographer should scan your belly. If the Sonographer doesn't ask you to take a deep breath, your Sonographer is a dumbo. You are in trouble. Your report will be useless.
If you see "Echogenicity on the Radiographer's report and he hasn't advised what grading of Fatty Liver, you deserve a refund and the report rewritten to include grading. If you Liver Specialist can't advise you the grading even though the report is silent on grading. then get another Liver Specialist immediately. Your current Liver Specialist is hopeless. This is Liver 101 stuff. The Liver Foundation website makes no mention of grading. If you are Grade 3, you could be two weeks away from Cirrhosis and a quick death. If you are Grade 1, you could be totally reversed in 3-6 months.Big difference. Your Liver Specialist and the Liver Foundation need to wake up. Once they wake up then they can wake you up.
Dr Sam's images. In this video, many things are covered, including Grading of Fatty Liver (Hepatis Steatosis). Start witht the grading of Fatty Liver. Check to see if you have aby cysts, which is very common. plus any other thing that id abnormal that is on the Radiologist Report. Good luck in getting a Liver Specialist to explain any of this to you. Fortunately I have trained myself now with enough information that I can read my scan and grade Fatty Liver myself.
Dr Sams Images provides an excellent description of Cirrhosis Ultrasouind imaging. This is one or two steps beyond Fatty Liver
This video is a very in depth look at some of the more complicated Liver diseases.
At BrThis video is good for describing anaotomy of the Liver in words and diagrams. There is also analysis of bloods including AST and ALT
A good quick video going from normal to Fatty liver to Cirrhosis
