-history of drooling, PU/PD, but now only PU

-dental disease (periodontitis + tooth resorption) – postponed dental procedure due to high ALT for now

-on most recent recheck (4/4/16), no outward evidence of sickness other than PU per O

-ABD US done on 2/23/16

-ALT progression; : 135 (1/15/16) –> 220 (2/23/16) –> 290 (4/4/16)

-told O we may need FNA of the liver to further define the disease and possibly reason why the weight loss
