They found the missing half of my liver!
Had an MRI with contrast yesterday and the whole liver was there again. Yay! I blame the Borrowers- sneaky little illegal lodgers. Looong day though. Took mom for her cardiology appointment at 10 then had to wait till 2 for my scan. Nearly fell asleep in there. Just the wait for the official relocation

Liver Function tests
Hi everyone, I had LFT done at GP surgery last week and the result was "satisfactory". I have a had a good few LFTs over the years and I've always had positive results. However, I have a very fatty liver with fibrosis so, I'm wondering what is the point of the LFT?

Question about right-sided pain
So I was diagnosed with NASH/liver fibrosis in February. I've drastically changed my lifestyle. Although it wasn't caused by alcohol, I did enjoy drinking occasionally, but haven't had any alcohol since December. I eat as healthy as I can living in the states. Pretty much just greens, meats and a little

Ascites .
My husband has decompensated cirrhosis with ascites which has caused major fluid retention. He has had it drained on a regular basis and tried diuretics which then caused kidney problems! He just had spironolactone increased to 100mgs., but still can't get fluid under control. Has anyone else experienced

Very High Liver Function Tests - any insights?
Hi All, Recently I was sick with what seemed like a virus for a week and got bloods taken as I had high unexplained GGT (400) earlier in the year, and was curious why a simple virus had me ill for so long. However, this time the results came back high across the board. I got them repeated a few days

ALT getting higher, fibroscan referral, need advice
Hi, I'm an alcoholic who has drank 2 bottles of wine a night for about a year and a half. I've had my liver investigated this year, and found out a lot. I had a high ALT (124) which then went down to (112) with a normal GGT. I also had an ultrasound which showed a fatty liver. Throughout all of this,

Caput Medusae
Hey folks, I was wondering at what stage of liver disease do caput medusae start showing? A few months ago I started have right quadrant pain and the appearance of spider veins/broken capillaries on my ribs. I got my liver functions tests and a myriad of other blood work and it was all fine. My ultrasound

Hepatic encephalopathy
Has anyone tired L-ornithine-L-aspartate along with rifaximin and lactulose to help with relief of toxins? I just started per Dr orders I can’t tell any difference as of yet (one week @ twice a day) I am hoping it helps. 🤠DLD

Fatty Liver? Haven't felt Good in Months
Can you have cirrhosis with a fibroscan of 4.3? I've had constant Right and left upper quad pain for three months. I've been a daily drinker for 10 years. Have had CT and ultrasound. Both showed a fatty liver. ALT was at upper limit for a couple years. Quit drinking 3 months ago and all labs have
