Not the Kidney

I got the scans and my blood back. I was so damned sure that the pain was my kidney, esp since I carry the gene for Polycystic Kidney Disease and my mom has kidney disease, that I was convinced that it was going to show on my scans. I looked at the scans and I saw: enlarged spleen, liver, and gall bladder. Then the blood test showed near 0 BUN and below normal BUN:Creatinine, seems to be the low numbers are indicative of bad liver.... seriously? I know I was born with a bad liver and needed to be back in the hospital the next day after I was born, but didn't know it was like that. I wonder if it has to do with the extended anorexia (decades) and my ability to drink water and still be dehydrated due to salt wasting. What's all those mean? More tests probably since my AST and ASL are normal still.
