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.

Fibroscan tomorrow
Hello, I've got my fibroscan tomorrow - arranged due to raised ALT's, bright fatty liver on echo and upper right quadrant pain. Thought to be non alcoholic as I'm 24, a little overweight and I'm not an alcoholic. However, yesterday I attended a family do and consumed some alcohol. Nothing excessive,

Update
Thank you for all your support. My partner, Andrew, is still critically ill. After being told that his chances of survival are slim it’s been soul destroying. His oxygen level has been reduced from 70% to 60%. His bilirubin levels have dropped since admittance and he has remained stable for the past

Three months off...
Hi all. I've been a lurker here since I had some liver issues that were picked up from routine blood tests, with the usual culprits GGT, ALP, AST, ALT all raised. This was put down to fatty liver due to my high alcohol consumption, and rough liver texture on the ultrasound, by the hepatologist, based

Anxiety re alcohol related fears
Hi Hope you don't mind me asking the question but I just wondered if anyone else had driven themselves mad by googling symptoms and then convincing themselves they had every one of them. I have one spider nevi (which has to be magnified to see) but I now think I have cirrhosis. I sometimes feel like

ALT and GGT - alcohol related
Hi I’m new to the site. I’m 45, female and yes a heavy drinker so I’ve done this to myself. My most recent blood tests showed ALT was 59 (upper limit 34) and GGT 49. How bad is this? I’ve stopped alcohol now. Apart from the alcohol I eat really well and exercise daily, BMI of 21. I know no-one can give

Lucentis injections
Hi everyone just had my 4th injection today and feeling really well after this latest one. Just a thought, as nearly always takes me a good 24 hours normally to feel brighter after them. Just wondering if this is due to build up, getting used to them or struck lucky with my injector today? Would love
