l was told almost 3 years ago that my liver had stabilised after a 9.8 fibro and literally to go away. Not heard anything since, so far I have had cirrhosis, cusp of cirrhosis, steatosis, stabilised on my notes. LFTs all normal, 115 over 74, 62 bpm, still overweight but no longer pre diabetic 40. Pooh was grey and pee like brown ale now pooh deep rich brown now pee clear. Should I be worrying? Embracing the hygge lifestyle, tennis, football, reading in front of the fire, my adult children boomeranging home. Does a low blood pressure mean less chance of portal hypertension? overall health

I don’t know whether a low blood pressure means no portal hypertension what I do know is that you should never have been told to go away. Your ‘ condition’ needs continuous monitoring. Good luck in getting the support you need.

If you were to have Portal Hypertension you would be prescribed medication to lower your BP to decrease the developement of Varices and them bursting. So in that sense, low is good.Well done on your lifestyle changes - it appears to have worked well for you!

Im afraid I'm not medically qualified , so I reckon if you are particularly concerned it's probably best to run it past your GP? Or give the Liver trust helpline a call?Atb
