Good afternoon confused71,

I am sure our forum members will be along to share their experiences - however -

If you have any new, persistant or worsening symptom, may I suggest you discuss this with your GP.

It is important not to simply assume that a new symptom is linked to pre existing diagnosis.

Take care,

Trust9

Itching is part of certain types of liver diseases. You need to get this checked out with your Drs with a blood test for a Bilirubin levels. Best wishes.

Yes unfortunately the itching is apart of having cirrhosis liver disease I would definitely get a blood test just to see if there's any imbalance which can cause the itching and there is medication to help it if you mention this to your hepatologist or doctor I hope you get it sorted out and feeling itch free soon
