bile ducts
I had a blood test few weeks back result was Alp 177and Alt 50. GP repeated them and they came back Alt 30, Alp 139 BUT GGT 105 which wasn’t tested previously. I paid to have an ultrasound scan which showed intrahepatic bile duct dilation of 3.6mm. Everything else was ok in terms of liver gall bladder

Evening primrose oil
Hi all I had an appointment with my consultant a few weeks back after my surgery and having the coil fitted. I explained that one of the main issues I was having was severe breast pain. They were literally like rocks and extremely painful, to the point where it would wake me up at night. My consultant

biopsy report, still waiting to see consultant.
hi all, had an email with the below conclusion of my biopsy, I have a very minuscule left lobe which they want to biopsy but were unable to due to the size. So the right lobe was biopsied. Until I see the consultant I don’t really understand the results, I know none of you are specialist or doctors

Help and advice for mum
Hey All, My mum has hidden her drinking, liver issues and cirrorsis for 15 years as I’ve been living in a different country. She was taken into hospital last winter, and I was told it was related to her liver, but no real further detail. Attending a consultant appointment with her last week has unearthed

Compensated liver
I have went from ddcompensatd to compensated liver disease since being diagnosed in August 2023. I keep seeing prognosis is 9 to 12 years. Is this correct or can you live past 12 years. I haven't had any alcohol since diagnosed

Confused and seeking clarification
Hi folks . . . I have attached a letter from Hepatology which (to me anyway!) appears to contradict itself? In summary . . . a US in September 2021 showed increased parenchymal echogenicity (PE) due to fatty liver. Follow up bloods and a CT in April 2022 revealed nothing further. I then had a telephone

Blood test Results AST/GGT
Hi all.I have a history of pancreatitis and liver issues. I did a private blood test in the week and it's come back that my AST and GGT are both high. GGT is worse. Should I be concerned? I'm going to ring my GP tomorrow for another blood test but wondering if I should go to A+E? I'm in pain and managing

liver transplant : build up
hi everyone I’m really in need of some support. I’m 37 and have liver failure . I went to see my consultant in Belfast a few weeks ago and was my doctor when I attended Antrim hospital hospital. She was extremely direct and blunt with myself. She said my score is is high but didn’t tell me the range.

The ups and downs of our rollercoaster OC journeys
When I recovered from debulking earlier this year I gave myself a good talking to and vowed not to let myself go from blood check to blood check worrying about them. I was so pleased my first check showed bloods were normal so thought my plan was working but then prior to the 6 month check developed

liver health
so …. I consider myself a fairly intelligent individual, but the thing I don’t get is why does our consultants want our bloods normal , how does that help us when I’ve read your still classed as cirrhotic and it’s just the the healthy bits of the liver are emitting these correct chemicals , does this

Transplant Question
I’ve been wondering for awhile if kidney transplants are given once a person is past a certain age? I’m in the U.S. and I have a cousin who had severe liver disease. She was 75 & the state she lived in didn’t perform liver transplants on anyone over 68. I checked with my state, & liver transplants

B12 stored in liver ?
Hi I'm getting a little confused and trying to understand what is actually measured with blood tests... Does a serum Total B12 reflect what is or isn't stored in the liver at the time of the test or just what is circulating ? Does an Active B12 test measure the store differently, is the store in

Desperately trying to save my partner.
