GGT levels ?? Worried 😟
Hi, wondering if anyone can help. I’ve been experiencing pain in the upper right quadrant and an upset tummy with lots of wind. I have a referral to a gastro consultant and he scheduled a blood test to to check for inflammatory markers before I see him. My liver enzyme I think it’s GGT is 400. The GP

Recurring Hepatic Encephalopathy
Hello everyone, it’s been a while since I posted and I hope everyone is staying encouraged and strong on your journey. I wrote last year about my brother and his Ascites and cirrhosis diagnosis. Well, it has not been easy the past 4 months. He is currently having repeated hepatic encephalopathy episodes

BBC News Story, 'My mum was an alcoholic and it was a massive secret'
While I fully understand that this site isn’t an alcohol forum, alcohol has had an impact upon so many peoples lives, and this site is about support and hopefully raising awareness with others. So please forgive me as this post isn’t directly liver-related. What is often forgotten is the impact alcohol-abuse

Red vomit - Esophageal Varices?
I'm gonna keep this as brief as possible. So, at the moment I have a lot of concerns about liver disease/cirrhosis due to alcohol abuse. I haven't drunk anything in 10 days, but decided to have a couple of light beers last night. It made me feel really bloated and gassy, so I made myself sick. The

Private fibroscan in East midlands
Hello my first post here. I have been diagnosed with fatty liver by ultrasound and have symptoms that could be related but my GP doesn't want to look into it as my liver function test is almost normal. I was wondering if there are any private fibroscan services in Lincolnshire or nearby?

Itching and Advanced Liver Disease/Anyone without advanced liver disease?
I keep reading itching is one of the signs of advanced liver disease, how is that possible when people with just a fatty liver with mild fibrosis have itching and some without fibrosis have itching. Anyone with itching without advanced liver disease?

Try and remain calm and positive
I work in the field of mental health and have a lot of client and personal experience in anxiety especially. A mentor once said to me ask this question when you are worrying. ' Is it of any use?' The answer of course is always 'No'. Worrying about something does not change it, and yes I do realise we

Scaring myself silly and pretty ashamed too.
I’ve been lurking on here not posting for a long time. I have a really toxic relationship with alcohol and while I found I have always managed to get it under control, this year has seen my drinking spiral. Over the past nearly 9 months I’ve drank around 2 bottles of wine a day, sometimes less, sometimes

High ALT and GGT postpartum. Potential haemangioma
I am ten weeks postpartum. I was diagnosed with cholestasis in the last few weeks of pregnancy but my bile acids never exceeded 20. About four weeks postpartum I had some liver tests. My alt was 52. I had these repeated again and my alt is now 117 and ggt is 74. I had a liver scan at two weeks postpartum
