Posted by Lori Hemoglobin 14.7 DO ANY OF THESE RESULTS INDICATE LIVER DAMAGE? FIBROSIS? CIRROSIS? Since I had probably contracted way back in 1978..wouldnt I have some sort of symptons or indication in blood tests that liver was or is damaged?? Please help! Also I'm going for a HIDA scan for gall bladder tomorrow..can they also see liver and any liver damage/disease from that? Also,are there any statistics as to severity, liver damage (fibrosis, cirrohsis, end stage, mortality, etc.)due to the way a person contracts HEP C? Transfusion vs sharing needles, etc. ? Thank you

Havent had test yet to see if I still have virus or not.
