Hi guys I have an inherited condition called Alpha1 antitrypsin deficiency which causes liver and lung disease. I had a consultant app today and although my Alpha1 doesn’t help matters he said I have cirrhosis of the liver possibly due to mostly fatty liver. I’m devastated and wasn’t expecting it. I know I probably can’t reverse the damage but can I improve my liver functioning. Thanks just need a little support I’m so worried 😞
