My son is 13 and has the disease and still has full liver function. He is just suffering from Portal hypertension and takes blood pressure reducing drugs and vitamin supplements.

Otherwise he is in good health. If you want to know more please do not hesitate to contact us.

Hi,

He has got cysts on his kidneys but at the moment nothing to get too worried about. His consultant just wants to make sure his blood pressure is below 115. Kidney function is fine at the moment.
