		<description>You have a polycystic liver.  Poly means many.
Cysts can be fluid filled or complex.  Fluid
filled doesn&#039;t usually cause a problem...the
complex ones can mean they have particules
in them or even, rarely,  cancer.

It is good that they are not increasing in size.
If they do start to increase, they could cause
damage to the surrounding cells in the liver.
If this takes place, it would be best to 
discuss with the doctor about being 
evaluated for placement on the transplant
list. 
The abscess in the liver can be drained by
placing a tubing that comes from the abscess
to the outside skin and then to a bag, on the
outside of the body, to collect the contents. 

It would be very important to notify the
doctor immediately if you develop even
a mind fever.  

If the cells become damaged in the liver,
the immune system will respond to this
and cause inflammation to develop inside
the liver, also.  This usually causes the
liver to enlarge in size.  An ultrasound or
Ct scan would show this enlargement.

I do know that people can inherit polycystic
kidney disease, but I&#039;m not sure about
the liver having this.  You may want to
talk to others in your family about whether
they had liver problems of any sort.

They sometimes do a liver biopsy in
people who have cell damage...but I&#039;m
not sure they would do it to someone that
has cysts there or not...I think more likely
not. 

Wish I could be of more help...this is 
about all I can give you on this.
