Serum triglycerides 1.9 mmol/L

Over here, NASH is called stage 2 steatosis, and I have been put in this category because I am symptomatic - pain under ribs (no Gall Bladder, had a tumour)


Dave.

Just phoned Drs.

Cholesterol/HDL ratio 3.8
No Triglycerides test taken.

Hi Dave

Well you beat me all round on the cholesterol tests - your diet is obviously working - well done. I'm too embarrassed to post my numbers - the only good thing I can say is they've come down a little from last year. Got to keep minimizing those steroids.

Hope you get some answers soon re your liver tests and that it's something manageable. Some of my liver numbers came back borderline low recently - Albumin & Total Protein - GP doesn't seem concerned - so wait another 3 mths and see if they've improved.

All the best for your onc. appt. Sending lots of positive vibes your way.
