I actually just had some blood work done today to test liver enzymes, and just got my results over the phone. Everything checked out. But what the practitioner did say was that doing the blood work for the liver isn't always a guarantee because it can't fully assess the organ, you know? It can only count so many components of the liver, it doesn't exactly take a snapshot of it... That's why they say liver disease has so many phases, most of which you can't tell are happening. It's like a creep up on you type of disease. Today, I was told my liver seems to be "normal." But what does that really mean, and what contributed to that diagnosis? The doctor and I both know that this doesn't mean I should continue abusing alcohol just because everything seems fine. Right? That's just my 2 cents. Just sharing. I'm still cautious, and still working toward sobriety.
