This is a repost from an anonymous patient on another liver ailment forum. Never heard of getting my MELD score.
Hi all, read the post below from an anonymous patient on another forum. I've never heard of a MELD score. Anyone else had one done? Should I be asking my GI about this?? Thanks, Stella (Fatty liver is a normal part of aging. High triglycerides, alcohol use, medications - all of this adds up over time

Liver disease
Fatty liver is a normal part of aging. High triglycerides, alcohol use, medications - all of this adds up over time to affect the liver. After a trip to ER and admitted for pancreatitis, I learned about my liver. Ignorance and "normal lab results" combined to leave me shocked to find stage 4 liver fibrosis

It's back.
First, the good news: The results of my 1 year post surgery colonoscopy show no colon cancer. Unfortunately, the results of my 1 year post surgery contrasting CT scan show that the ovarian cancer has recurred. I’m somewhere between relieved and sad because now the waiting is over, but I can't find

Itching after transplant
My husband had a kidney transplant in June. He struggles with itching. Any ideas for how to get relief, it keeps him up at night.

Fibroscan
Once you had your fibroscan, how long did it take to get the ball rolling after that? I guess it depends on the result but say for example if it was a very high score, would you then be put in for liver transplant assessment?

I was booked to have my flu jab at my GP this week but the appointment was cancelled due to shortage of vaccine. Despite being 'vulnerable' as I have Lupus and renal transplant this made no difference. The appointment has been re-booked towards the end of November, but there's no guarantee. I have

Excited to have found support!
Hello...I am the mom of a 30 yr. old son in need of a kidney transplant. It is so hard to see him go thru dialysis among everything else he has had to go thru. He is strong and handling it better than I am. I know it's not about me, but would love to hear from other parents who have children or young

Not sure how to feel!
15 months ago I was rejected by Papworth for a lung transplant as they said my oesophagus was too damaged and I wouldn’t survive the operation!!! Obviously, this initially felt like a death sentence as I felt that was it. Although the thought of going through a lung transplant scares the **** out of

Anyone take Greek HC (IFET)?
I would like to hear from anyone who takes Greek hydrocortisone called I.F.E.T on the box. I want to know if it is generally as good as the brand Cortef which I am unable to find. Thanks in advance.
