raised AST (SGOT) levels and your history with CLL
when i was DX 7 years ago, my AST levels were at around 30. my oncologist hasn't said much about the fluctuations, which have gone up to 50 on occasion. so when i went to see my GP who worked in oncology in another country, told me that i have mild fatty liver, i was shocked as i was obviously unaware

Ascites
I’m going through the diagnosis process at the mo. Had CT scan last week. Follow up appointment isn’t until a week on Monday. I’m quite sure I’m suffering with ascites. Do I wait til that appointment to find out or should I call someone (consultant’s secretary or my own GP) to ask for it to be drained

MRI HCC Scan and bloods.
Hi guys.I have just received my 6 months routine MRI Scan results . Like the other 5 scans I've had they've shown no features of concern and my next routine scan is booked for 6 months. The monitoring liver blood result was normal ( AFP <1). On the blood form for the next scan it shows Cirrhosis CPT

Fibroscan Frequency
I had a Fibroscan 3 months ago as an earlier US diagnosed I had cirrhosis. I have fatty liver and a LSM of 28.2 . I have given up alcohol completely since then. I asked the consultant when will I have another Fibroscan . He told me in about a year. I was hoping to have another one much sooner so

Encouraging results
Went for 6 monthly US today and they also fitted me in for a fibroscan. Well...the US showed a regular shaped, smooth liver with no nodules and only mild fatty liver. Fibroscan was still high at 40, but much better than 10 months ago when it was 74. My liver is recovering from the years of alcohol I

cirrhosis and Pip
Hi everyone, I was just wondering if anyone had experience of giving up work and claiming pip with compensated cirrhosis. My story is I’ve been in quite a stressful role for nearly 24 years and was diagnosed with cirrhosis about 18 months ago. I am feeling increasingly tired with considerable joint

Hi - and welcome! My name is Donna - I facilitate this support group for The PBC Foundation - Health Unlocked. If you are new to your diagnosis, first of all, take a breath. It’s ok. We all, myself included, have been exactly where you are right now…. scared, unsure, mad, sad, and so much more. Stop

Organ Donation for Transplant and Research
This post is talking about Organ Donation upon Death, so please take care to choose to read on further.
I recently went down to the Blood and Transplant Service Head Office in Bristol and attended a workshop on the importance of organ research. There were four of us fellow liver transplantees

Confusion on fibroscan results
Hi All, my husband was recently told he had an enlarged liver ( spotted when having a gastroscopy ) and that he would get a follow up fibroscan - this took a few weeks and then we got the results by letter which completely shocked and scared us! It stated he had F4 liver cirrhosis and S3 fatty liver

Pain After Paracentesis
My partner had his ascites drained last week. He has had 2 previous drains but this time he has experienced a lot of pain afterwards. It’s sometimes quite acute - and gets worse when he eats. Then he feels 100% better - only for the pain to start again. Has anyone else had this experience? Any advice

Amino acid urine test finds taurine “wasting”, elevated beta alanine and anserine - anyone else?
hi. Input much appreciated on a mystery . First background: I have had elevated ALT, AST, and GGT for decades along with poor health and some little recognized chronic conditions. I would like to know if anyone else with liver disease has or has heard of the following odd metabolic derangement. I

Just spent 10 days due to sepsis. The week before he was 100% normal. I also worry about

Liver cancer
finally got to talk to a very knowledgeable liver specialist having been trying to get some answers for months. He understood why I wanted to know and given some idea how long I can expect too live. He went into a lot of detail fully explaining all the scenarios, which is exactly what my wife and I wanted

Yet another question about cirrhosis.
I'm so sorry to bother everyone again. I promise this will be my last post for quite some time [hopefully]. I'm taking some advice from a couple of lovely members from this forum who have advised me to try and not worry so much over every detail of my condition, and live each day to its fullest. Just

Questions about Cirrhosis Prognosis
Hi Everyone. I have yet another question[s] [I'm sorry!] I just read a post from 6 years ago that gave me a bit of a fright, and I'm wondering if anyone has any thoughts or advice on this? The post stated that cirrhosis patients can do "remarkably well provided they can keep clean, & early stage cirrhosis
