Irish liver specialist

[Nellies47]

Hi. Just wondering if anyone on this site is Irish and can recommend a good liver specialist please here in Ireland.

Saw liver specialist in St. Vincents Dublin yesterday and was told I definitely have PBC, have AMA positive, raised GTT, ALT and cholesterol but that I don't need treatment because my ALP is normal.

That's great if I don't need meds but I thought everyone with PBC should have treatment.

Also I'm booked in for a gastroscopy, to look at my blood vessels. Anyone else have this with PBC.

I have a lot of fatigue, dry eyes and mouth and hypothyroidism.

Thank you

Hello. I’m not Irish but one of our members is. I contacted her. She sees Professor Suzanne Norris, hepatologist, at St Vincent Hospital.

Also, she said you can go to

dublin.my.doc and see drs attached to St James Hospital. I hope I got this info straight.

It is run by Marian Power who has a wealth of information and works closely with the PBC foundation very worthwhile joining their Facebook and mailing list too. They are on top of all the guidelines and help greatly. They have a great website toopbcfoundation.org
