Liver enzymes & blood test results
Hi, firstly thank you all for replying to my previous posts. Your replies were very helpful. I have got my blood test results. They are normal apart of borderline diabetes. It's 44mmol. My Alt and ast is 28 and FBC is 329. I am not sure what this means? My BMI falls in obese category. Doctor told me

Posterior subcapsular cataracts surgery
I am 2 years post kidney transplant due to PKD. I went to a routine eye exam yesterday and after a retinal scan was told I need to have cataract surgery, sooner rather than later, as this type of cataract progresses quickly. Anyone have this issue? Any pre/post eye surgery precautions related to

Ejection Fraction
Recently had an echocardiogram, the results of which showed an EF of 35%. My ECG was normal, my BP which I check several times a day is consistently within normal parameters and as a result of the echo the cardiac consultant now wants an MRI but wants my Primary Care Physician to start me on Beta blockers

Finishing with Actemra
Hi everybody, once again I'm asking a question of you all before I see my Rheumo. In a few weeks I will have been on Actemra injections for 18 months. I managed to finish taking Pred 7 months ago after a 12 month stint with no relapses. I consider myself to be very lucky so far. I would like to

Elevated ELF but 'normal' Fibroscan pressure - how?
Hi All: I'm a 50-something male with a fatty liver. Recently I was given an ELF test and it returned a result at the lowest end of the 'severe fibrosis' range. A follow-up Fibroscan gave a reading in the upper normal range for liver stiffness. How can the disparity be explained? Do I give more credence

Info onActemra
Hi everyone, I was diagnosed with GCA Dec 21 and put on 65mg Pred. Then March 22 I started Actemra weekly injections. I have been very fortunate so far as I tapered and stopped Pred in Dec 22 but still taking Actemra shots - fortnightly now. My question is how long have others had to take Actemra

Prolapse after surgery
I had a bladder prolapse stage three along with a few other parts that had prolapsed. I had all the usual symptoms, bladder hanging between my legs via my vagina, back pain, difficulty sitting and walking and severe constipation. My doctor recommended a hysterectomy since a pessary did not work for

Fibrosis result confusion
Hi all, I have been a lurker on this wonderful forum for about 61/2 years when I was diagnosed with alcohol related disease. Only symptoms were ascites and weight loss, about 3st. 8 litres were drained from abdomen at that time and I have never had any liquid build up since then. I am completely compensated

HE and Variceal Bleed
I last posted 2 years ago after being concerned for my mom and her drinking. She was diagnosed with cirrhosis and has now been alcohol free for just over 2 years. She has had 2 variceal bleeds in the last 4 months, both times being found by her partner covered in blood and within a few weeks of seeing

Spider Nevi
Former drinker. So I have noticed some red blemishes on my upper back. They are small but are not going away. I can't really see any blood vessels branching out from the blemish. Does spider nevi due to cirrhosis usually occur on the back? I have about three of them. I had slightly high liver enzymes

varices
I would like to thank all the people who replied the variety of experiences made me do more research and I found that Carvedilol and omeprazole are just as effective as banding, however I will ask for a further Gastroscopy in a year or two. As I’ve had a serious bleed before probably over reacted. Once
