Feeling on TOP OF THE WORLD!

The enzymes measure inflammation, or think of it as how angry the Liver is. inflammation is the enemy of the Liver, its causes scarring if left too long. The scarring left behind is a different test, a biopsy or Fibroscan is best for checking scarring. Inflammation coming down is always welcome because it means further damage is slowing down and complete stop would be great. Although clearing the HEPC would be needed to stop further inflammation.

Albumin and Bilirubin give a good idea of how well the Liver is performing its tasks.

Thank you for posting. Yes fibro scan was 16.6kpa and confirmed cirrhosis.

I'm looking at a way that I can. Have Harvoni imported to a lab here in nz.

I'm chuffed.

Are you on Urso? have you recently started on Urso? Urso can assist the bile flow and with that (as Ralf 2014 says) can help with inflammation and thus help blood readings (may not help with scarring) but better numbers are....... better!!

Of course your consultant is the source of better info!

Depending on how scarred your liver is depends on how much it can recover if the readings continue to become better.......

Keep healthy! keep strong, and yes, roller coaster it is!

Hello,

That's really interesting.. I have a spot (very small) on the tip of the bile duct. I've been waiting for a follow up ultra sound from the CT. it's been 6months your UK NHS sounds much better than our NZ health system.

Thank you.

I'm a great believer that a positive attitude is great for the health. If you're feeling "On Top Of The World" it's almost worth as much as the positive blood tests.
