Ideally i would like from ME/CFS Researchers to specifically ask for these conditions and then identify whether there is a statistically significant association / comorbidity between ME/CFS and any of the conditions discussed in the Spreadsheet. There are conditions as "benign" as Fatty Liver. But Fatty Liver in combination with other issues may be bringing the Perfect storm we are looking for.
I do not know if this investigative work has been performed on a large scale. To be honest i am really worried because of the fact that not even one paper suggests that a simple test such Total Bile Acids (TBAs) has been performed. Also, note that the only way to rule out a silent Liver Disease is Liver Biopsy from multiple sites. Obviously such testing is not possible. The liver may have very serious problems and despite this, Liver enzymes may be entirely normal (...)
In other words, many things may have been missed.
I'm not up to speed on all of the past research, but I know there was a publication on post mortems of ME patients. I don't remember seeing any conclusion with liver problems? The only finding that seems to crop up again and again is ganglionitis. With the results of you analysis, would you expect findings of liver problems to show up on a post mortem?
