Finally got FibroScan
Some of you may remember I was diagnosed with NASH Cirrhosis on a CT scan a few months ago. I then had a FibroTest which showed F3 fibrosis. After months of waiting I finally had the FibroScan done last week and results are kpa 11.9 which is considered cirrhosis 😞 in NASH patients. I didn’t get a CAP

Fibroscan update
Hello. I had a fibroscan at a BLT roadshow 6 months ago which scared me as it was 11.7kpa and cap 218. I'm a 45yo female. I was sent for an ARFI ultrasound after this by my GP, which scored me as being at the lower end of F2 fibrosis ( 1.25m/s) with mild to moderate fatty infiltration. The ultrasound

Why so grim....
My question is to the British liver trust. Do you know why the hospital consultants say to you maybe have 3 years to live after a stomach acities drain and decompressed cirrosis. yet many people here are saying they are living a good life. Ä°t's cruel to give that information and then share it with your

Hi everyone. I have been diagnosed with fatty liver and have the red "Liver palms" I have been told this is a warning sign for a damaged liver. I have been abstaining for 2 weeks now.Can anyone tell me roughly how long this will last or does it only go away when my liver is back to normal? Thanks in

misdiagnosed cirrhosis?
I was diagnosed with cirrhosis approximately a year ago. Had all the classic symptoms with ascites being the worst. Every time the gastroenterologist sent me for an MRI, the ascites has interfered with the test. He reluctantly gave me a diagnosis of cirrhosis when pushed but didn’t seem confident. Been

Liver enzymes
Hi, I had mildly elevated ALT in January so stopped drinking alcohol. It lowered but then went up to 100 with raised AST also. Gradually both went down to normal and Nils blood test and ultrasound were normal. However, ALT has gone back up to 72 and ALT 64. My GP is stumped. Has anyone experienced

Fibroscan CAP scores
There are a few things that I don’t understand about Fibroscan CAP scores. I have looked at the NICE 49 full guideline which can be found here: https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/ng49/evidence/full-guideline-pdf-2548213310 Fibroscan CAP scores are discussed in detail on pages 62 to 74; the CAP scores

Has anyone found Mebeverine/Buscopan helpful?
Following a Laparoscopy, it is highly likely that I have Adenomyosis. One of the hardest symptoms is the uncomfortable bowel issues. I get bloating and constipation. I am wondering if it is worth trying Mebeverine or Buscopan. I've tried dietary and peppermint oil but neither really helped.Thank you
