Liver biopsy

[Louby1954]

Saw the hepatolgist today. He feels the scarring in my liver is down to my autoimmune disease, undifferentiated connective tissue disease

He cannot be sure having a liver biopsy 4 weeks. Lots of bloods tomorrow morning

Any one else had this please x

Hopefully the liver biopsy will give you a confirmation of diagnosis. When you have one auto immune condition it is very common to have others and there are three well known auto immune conditions that affect the liver and it's possible you've got one of these on top of your other AI condition.

Thankyou Ayrshirek for your replyI do gave other auto immune

The UDCT I self managed for 8 years until Sepsis Sepsis shock and legionella pneumonia hit me in mid 2019. It was that which kicked it off.

I was put in medication but it made me very ill came off it immediately. My rheumatologist called me to say come off it. Already had as had a 2 week wait for his telephone appointment. When I asked what he was going to give me now, he said nothing! Let's see how it goes he said!

Well all my organs damaged in some way or another. Now the liver. I came out of hospital 2019 with "high risk of chronic kidney disease.

As yet the only one I have not had.
