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.
