Hi lashes I had a liver scan in September. It took about 20 mins in total. The experience itself was fine, I let the sonographer know how nervous I was and she was lovely to me. Are you having one for a particular reason?

I had an ultrasound of my galbladder a couple of times as I have a polyp in it. Ultrasounds are fine, she will probably ask you to breathe in a few times and hold your breath for a couple of seconds when she's probing around. It feels fine, kind of cold and tickly!

hiya oh 20mins dont sound too bad can you take anybody in with you ?i suppose it different at differnt places. yes well after a couple of blood tests that were routine for when i started antideppresants it kept sayin i had high enyzmes levels? im pretty worried what it could be any ideas ? x

I was allowed to take my sister in, but I think it depends where you have it done. High enzymes can happen for very simple reasons so I would not worry too much. Sure you will be fine. :flowers:

Fatty liver is common and can be improved by simple changes to diet. Good luck

I had my liver scan, which was fatty liver and the scan took around 15 mins.

No pain or nothing to worry about.
