AST/ALT Ratio
I've just joined as I've been worrying myself sick with online data regarding AST/ALT ratio. My liver function test results came back within range but when I use the ratio calculator it says I have liver cerrhosis or chronic hepatitis. Thanks for any help.

The words this week I want to define are
alkaline phosphatase.
Alkaline phosphatase (ALP)
is an enzyme that is released by the bile ducts cells ( among other organs). The release of ALP is a marker of stress or injury. So the more injury or stress to the bile duct cells, the higher

Earlier today I posted the link to the PBC Foundaton's Urso calculator. There are so many posts and questions relating to Urso that I thought it was important for everyone to make sure they are on the right dose. This 'calculator' is also available on the PBC app. Knowing you are taking the right dose

Kidney update and possible gallstones
Hi everyone, it’s been a hot minute since I posted about my kidneys! A few weeks ago I found out I had leaky protein, but I saw the specialist (who was pretty thorough) and he’s not worried about it. And if he’s not worried, I’m not worried! We’re gonna review in 3 months’ time. I’m so glad it turned

previous question
Someone recently asked me about taking Urso after my transplant and the return of the disease for me. I can't find the post but I wanted to answer. I have taken Urso since I was 35 years old. I am now 73. I have had no real problems with it all these years luckily. About 25% of those who have a liver

deranged LFT and Gallbladder perforation
hi, hoping someone may have experience like mine. I had a perforated gallbladder whilst in hospital with Sepsis back in November. Because of my weight and existing issue the team didn’t want to operate as keyhole wasn’t an option so would have involved open surgery. So I was put on antibiotics for 6

post cholecystectomy issues
I had my gallbladder out (gallstones) 10 years ago and for the first 5 or so years I had no problems whatsoever, life returned to normal. Then I started getting these weird night time vomiting events. Always seemed to be woken between 2 and 3am with a heavy pressure in my stomach/gut, not feeling nauseas

cholecystectomy and cirrhosis
I’ve been advised that I need a cholecystectomy due to a polyp (9 x 6.5 mm). I have cirrhosis, but am fully compensated. I have been told that this operation can be very dangerous for someone with cirrhosis. Any help or advice please?

Update re: Gallbladder issue.
I am having my gall bladder removed on the 9th any advice or tips on recovery would be very welcome. Backstory is that I have had intermittent issues for several years. Mentioned to my GP (Male) who to be honest did not seem very interested in my symptoms, was given PPI for "indigestion" as blood
