67 years old and recently found out my cirrhosis was back and probably should have been under a Dr.s care sooner. I was 15 when I got Hepatitis, went to same Dr for about 15 years and he retired and told me at the time he didn't see any need for me to continue appointments as he was retiring. Now 52 years later I'm in this boat.

Hi and welcome, although I’m sure you’d rather not be here. I’m sorry to hear your news. Can I ask how you found out the cirrhosis was back?
I had to have surgery for a hernia that I had for about 5 years, it popped out and I couldn’t get it back in. It was a navel hernia. Blood tests before surgery showed I had something going on with enzymes. The rest is history now.
Did you have any other tests besides bloodwork? Ultrasound, CT, Fibroscan? Elevated enzymes don’t necessarily mean cirrhosis. They can be caused by inflammation in your liver.
Did you get annual physicals with blood work?
Not what you're looking for?
