Hepatic Encelopathy
Peeps has been suffering from HE for at least two years, the episodes are accelerating and are becoming more irrational and impossible to deal with. He reeks of ammonia despite maximum dose Lactulose, Rifaximin and daily enemas from the District Nurse. He is also being treated for an ongoing Campobylacter

They wanted me to confirm so i got a biopsy and the results came back this morning. I cant believe my eyes reading this it says zero portal fibrosis, moderate steatosis

ALT elevation, Liver question
Hi everyone first post ... so here it goes I’m 34/f, fit, I use to drink (mild, just causally). I am seeing a heptologist due to mild fluctuating ALT over the last few years and my ggt is elevated too. MRI normal, ultrasound normal x2 , had a liver biopsy normal but they didn’t get enough of a sample

What are your experiences?
Hello everybody. I am absolutely terrified as I have decompensated cirrhosis newly diagnosed. Lockdown has meant delays in seeing a specialist and I have oedema and ascites. Read online that life expectancy is 1 to 3 years and am just so scared. My fibroscan was 21.3kpa.

INTENSIVE CARE - Covid-19
Hi all, My Dad is very sadly in intensive care on a ventilator with Covid-19. Very difficult as obviously can’t visit and reading the news and stats his prognosis is not good.

No current monitoring
I have advanced alcoholic liver disease but appear to be starting to compensate.

Let me explain I have taken to putting my husband’s meds out in little pots morning lunchtime evening as I am at work all day and despite now working from home have kept the habit. I

Corona virus & fatty liver?
Please can someone help me by answering this. If I have non alcohol related fatty liver, does that mean I have liver disease and am at higher risk of getting the corona virus? Thank you.

Protocols for initial fatty liver finding
As my husband was just diagnosed with cirrhosis he’s wondering if his GP should have counselled him on alcohol use when she noticed a fatty liver a year ago after bloodwork. I recently accessed an ultrasound he had three years ago after a fall and the fatty liver was noted on the report, yet he was never
