 The question you ask is excellent. Although we tend to focus on viral hepatitis, you have had a thorough work-up and the answer is yes - you can have other causes of liver disease, such as steatohepatitis and hemochromatosis. I would strongly suggest you see a liver specialist to be evaluated further for a liver biopsy. Dr. McGovern | ||||||||
