Decompensated to compensated?
Hi all, I'm new to here but very concerned about my dad. He has been diagnosed with cirrhosis a few months ago but his tummy is full of fluid (ascites) which is his main issue. He also has varices but thankfully has never had a bleed. As his liver is now decompensated my question is this. Is it possible

Travel insurance for post liver transplant child
Hello, can anyone advise on holiday insurance for my daughter, who is aged 12 and coming up to 5 years post liver transplant. I have got travel insurance before through a local broker and it was extremely expensive. Thanks in advance for any advice.

I've just read about a 15yr old cystic fibrosis double lung transplant recipient who has been saved from a antibiotic resistant infection with something called phages, as far as I can gather these " phages" are friendly viruses that attack infections , under the microscope this particular phase looks

Bronchiecstasis & pneumonia
Diagnosed with brochiecstasis in 2004. Have 65% lung capacity. Been recuperating from pneumonia since late March. I’m on oxygen therapy. After 2 follow up visits (& mri & chest c-rays), was told if lungs don’t return to the health prior to the pneumonia, may have to consider a lung transplant. That sound

Find live drug-addict donor for preemptive kidney transplant?
News has it that recipients are treated for hepatitis C with 95% curative antiviral. This new approach, FDA-approved(?), expands the pool of both cadaver and living kidney donors, hopefully shorten wait time. Yes?
