A member asked:
Concern for husband: long hx of alcohol use (24 beers/week x 25 years), now labs show ast of 51 and alt of 48. ultrasound showed gallstones but also a 6 cm mass in liver and coarse echotexture of liver. are we facing cirrhosis? mri ordered?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
While cirrhosis is suggested by significant long term alcohol use, the MRI should shed some light over the origin of the 6 cm mass with concern for being primary liver tumor vs tumoral spread from another source.
