Delayed scans
So I was referred for a liver scan as my ggt was 216 and my alt was 42 everything else normal. Assumed it was alcohol related but didn’t think I drank that much! I rang today to chase as it’s been nearly 4 week, told me oh there’s a back log we’re doing all urgent scans so it’s probably going to be

Worried about AST/ALT ratio
Hi all. This is my first post. I’m a 38 year old female from the United States currently going through a stressful divorce. Unfortunately for the last year to year and a half I've turned to alcohol as a crutch. Drinking very heavily the last year. Near daily with few breaks and waaaay too much each day.I

Ggt not reducing after quitting alcohol
Hi, I have raised ggt levels. Was originally 280. I was a heavy drinker for years, bottle of wine around 4 days out of 7 but also lots of days off. After 3 months of not drinking my ggt reduces to 146 and after a further 6 months of not drinking it’s still at 147. Is it normal for it to stop decreasing

Symptoms of hepatic encephalopathy
Hello, I was wondering if people diagnosed with cirrhosis would kindly advise what their symptoms of HE were/are, in particular in relation to medication they have been prescribed. I’m taking long term medication, and now get a fuzzy head ( like elastic bands) and concerned this is a form of HE. not

Fatty liver or more?
Hi! In august i had a blood check up and my liver enzymes were tripled. Docter wanted me to come back in a month. So in september did a new check, and still too high. Got an ultrasound to check it and the result gave Fatty Liver. I am now doubting if it might be more serious and the Ultrasound didnt

Psychology vs physical diagnosis - help please!
I've a fair amount of experience in academic research into routes to improve subject motivation, both to prevent a number of health conditions with similar causality, and to reduce progression, or reverse them where possible, once established. For me, understanding exactly what is happening takes away

Fibroscan results please help me understand this
Hi everyone, I just go my results back from the fibroscan test. Hepatic parenchymal stiffness (measure of elasticity) : 13.1 kPa, with IQR/Median percentage of 27 % Hepatic steatosis grade (scale S0-S3): S3, Severe steatosis. I know this means severe fatty liver and fibrosis stage 3 but what i was wondering

Peritonitis
My husband has just come out of hospital having had peritoniitis, before that he had pneumonia so been through a lot having liver disease as well. They will not operate on his appendix if this happens again it will be 999 and antibiotics if he survives as anyone else had this before who could help.

Raised bilirubin and Gallstones
Hi First post: My Repeated blood Tests showed raised bilirubin of 33. A gp last year mentioned Gilbert syndrome as I haven’t symptoms. So as this year bilirubin levels are still high I went for an Ultrasound scan which confirmed gallstones . Could the raised bilirubin be the cause of gallstones or do

Very fatty liver and stopping drinking, but want tips on returning safely to alcohol when I have reversed
Had a fibroscan today and CAP was 274 dB/m. 5.4 kp. Alt 248 and AST 125. Given up alcohol for last month and lost 1.5 stone but was caning the booze hard before and especially during lockdown. Relieved that no apparent fibrosis but way fatty liver so looks like I need to crack on with abstaining.
