You have a right to understand and take part in decisions about your care. But medical words are often complicated. Not everyone on the forum will be familiar with some of these words.
Here is a link to the page on our website explaining some of the common words you might see in our information or hear from your doctors and nurses:

Brilliant idea, whoever thought of this. Thank you.
I could have done with this from day one of diagnosis.
I do understand the medical professionals have not got time to explain the liver terminology. It is a completely different language. But not forgotten once learnt.
A leaflet like this would be so helpful for people that are starting a liver disease journey. Hats off & simple too. 👏
