A small paraphrased section from this link I got from Sassy follows:
Ok, so what is "evidence of other significant liver injury"?
The reason I ask is because I've been having worsening heartburn that now includes what I thought was stomach pain? My PCP has been doing tests to find out why Nexium and Prilosec OTC is not relieving it. I also gave up coffee and spicy foods. I suppose I could also give up chocolate and my daily glass of wine. 
I had blood tests last week, and today, an ultrasound of my liver, gallbladder and pancreas.
I have to have a stress test on a treadmill on Friday.  I don't think my heart has a problem, but who knows? I really hope the PCP is just being overly dramatic. 
They're going to try to get the ultrasound results by tomorrow, because I'm due for my next infusion on Wednesday afternoon.
I'm also supposed to have new MRI's on Wednesday at noon.
I doubt there's anything seriously wrong, because I take good care of myself, but I'm a little bit concerned. Wish me luck with all this! I don't want to give up the Tysabri, but I kind of like my internal organs too!

Wiz,
Sorry to hear you are having problems. I certainly hope it turns out to be minor! Having to take all those tests just bites, especially when they are all in such a short span of time! It seems to leave no time for the enjoyable things in life! I'd not give up the chocolate and the daily dose of resveratrols until the doc said they have to go! One must have SOME vices!
(The "evidence of other significant liver injury" would be the blood tests they run, the scan they do on your liver, etc.)
Please let us know how it goes for you and I hope you feel better!
