So worried
In march of this year I had a ct scan of my stomach due to a bad case of diarrhea (they suspected stomach flu) and found I had mild to moderate enlarged spleen with homogenous enhancement. Liver size was normal. The er doc checked my eyes for jaundice but never even mentioned the spleen enlargement and treated me for gastroenteritis. She said I should possibly get an endoscopy. Is this to rule out portal hypertension? The conclusion of the visit was gastroenteritis as well as possible crohn's disease.
Background: male, age 30. Drank from 21 to 29 quit on March 18th 2021 and am 13 months sober.
Well my mind is jumping to the worst conclusion that I could have cirrhosis and portal hypertension leading to the spleen problem. I have light colored stools quite often as well but doctors wrote this off due to my high anxiety.
Do I have hope of being cirrhosis free? My ast and alt levels are on the low side of normal and bilirubin is normal. I'm very concerned. Platelets around 215,000
I would sincerely appreciate any thoughts/input
Thanks so much
