I have read recently on here about posters whose heart condition has improved, at first with incredulity since I hadn’t thought such a thing was possible, then with happiness for those who had received this good news, but always with a tinge of envy since my

Consultants in two specialties: Compare and contrast
In the recent High Court case determining whether the NHS is allowed to continue using Avastin rather than the far more expensive Lucentis (or the even more expensive alternative) one thought has repeatedly come to me. In treatment for wet macular degeneration, the consultants have been very strongly

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

Hello I wanted to see if anyone has advice or knowledge or experience of pregnancy with this condition? I am 29 and was diagnosed at 22 with the condition.

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

Nervous newbie
I’m 53 and due an angiogram in two weeks after being told I’ve got
dilated
cardiomyopathy
, eschemic heart disease, and a leaky mitral valve. The positive comments I’ve read on here and the fact that things could be worse( I’m still fairly stable and mobile) have kept me going on the dark days.

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,

IM injection technique question
When you inject, do you pull back on the needle to see if blood is drawn up? I've seen some advice to do this, but some instructions I've seen skips this step.
