The tissue samples were sent to the lab. What they determined was that I have non alcoholic fatty liver syndrome causing cirrhosis of the liver which has caused severe portal hypertension. The portal hypertension is causing symptoms like GI bleeding and abdominal fluid buildup. I guess they are fixing the hypertension with a stent. The lab results will tell them how significant the cirrhosis is and when I will need a transplant.
