I had a contrast enhanced CT of the abdomen and pelvis. This are the findings and i would like to know what that means:
Findings:
Included portions of the lower thorax show hypoventilatory changes at the lung bases bilaterally. There is no basal consolidation of effusion. The heart is mildly enlarged. There is artherosclerotic calcification within the coronary arteries. No pericardial effusion is noted.
Reflux of contrast into the intrahepatic IVC suggests increased right heart pressures. No focal liver lesion is
There is no definite mesenteric or retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy. No abdominal ascites, loculated collection of free intraperitoneal air is identified.
Evaluation of the vasculature shows severe severe calcified and noncalcified atherosclerosis throughout the abdominal aorta and pelvic vasculature. There is ectasia of the infrarenal abdominal aorta, measuring 2.9 cm in AP dimension and demostrating circumferential noncalcified mural plaque with rim of calcification. High-grade stenosis seen within the common, internal iliac arteries, noting critical stenosis/occlusion of the right external artery and right common femoral artery.

I go to the hospital for abdominal pain, the doctor said that my spleen is enlarged and hurts to the touch. He said something about cirrosis and esophageal varices. They also made a sonogram, then the CT.
