have cirohsis they just told me i need... - British Liver Trust
have cirohsis they just told me i need to be put on tranplant list dose that mean its that bad i have edema,high blood pressure,itchy skin,
Hi
Its not the best news, but there is lots of hope, transplants seem to really work and my symptoms and stats have dropped to a level I have been taken off the transplant list, so recovery can be considered with no drink good food etc.,
I have been on this journey for a few years now and its a testing one
But good luck all can turn out well

If they have listed you, it may also be because the wait can be long. As David said, it is possible to improve, but if not, transplant is amazing! Let us know if you have any more questions 
my husband heart rate is going down to 50 so far and blood work came back is sodium levels are 117 his face looks bad like its sunk in and he has this weird look on his face i think he in stage 4 of cirrohsis but cant get any straight answers from doctors
My husband was diagnosed 5 weeks ago, he hasn't drank for 7 weeks and is eating healthily, his ascites was
drained in hospital, and the diuretics have kept that at bay, plus this weeks bloods show a normal liver function!
Positive thinking and a real desire to get better have helped. Best of luck and keep strong.
Like David has said, it isn't the best of news but your liver function can improve! I was diagnosed with idiopathic cirrhosis a couple of years back when I was 19 and I was really ill with it for a couple of months but I have been great ever since. I have had one or two complications since, but my liver function hasn't gotten so bad that I have had to be hospitalised again. Keep positive! As long as you eat the right things and drink the right things and keep a healthy ish life style then your function may improve and you may be removed from the list.
Good luck!
thanks everyone im writing for my husband he isnt able his sodium went down to 117 and his heart rate is going down its 50 right now
