Hi there. Sorry, I haven't seen anyone reply yet. They may have missed it. I don't know what those scores mean, having been tested I guess the old fashioned way! Lol

What have your consultants said? Do you know what type of cirhossis you have?

I was sick with cirhossis for 4 years. Very sick I mean. I was transplanted last year.

Some people can go 20 years without needing a transplant. There are a few different diseases that go along with liver issues. Varacies are one of them.

Have you been given any medicine or dietary restrictions? Like staying away from salt and sodium especially. Trying to eat fresh foods.

Were you actually told you had chirossis? They should have given you some info then. But, if you look on this site, you will see a section with information that can help a lot.

Sorry I don't have more info for you.

I was not sure how to answer..lol. But did not want you to feel ignored!

Cheering you on!
