CF liver disease
My son has just been diagnosed with CF liver disease and portal vein hypertension. He is only 6 and currently is not showing any outward symptoms. Wondered if anyone else has experience of this in a child so young.

Vitamin K deficiency doesn't cause PA
I was just reading this webpage: http://www.gutsense.org/gutsense/ibs.html and I came across this sentence: "Vitamin K deficiency is behind internal bleedings, pernicious anemia, inoperable ulcers, and strokes." While I'm not entirely familiar with the properties of vitamin K, I did recognize immediately

GGT a little high
My GGT's were at 68 my AST and ALT are normal but been found to have HCV about 5 years ago waiting on a new treatment but is this something that I should worry to much over. This is a new test GGT and I have been doing lots of blood work over the last 5 years because of my condition.

Advice: can I drink moderately now? GGT/AST
Ok. My GGT was off the radar. Over 600. I was drinking very heavily earlier this year, due tolife issues and lack of responsibility. I have abstained for 4 weeks. GGT is now 140. [should be <50. Was >600] AST is now 42. [should be 40, was 72] 1. I plan to take another month off. It's not that hard

GGT very high - fatty liver
I had my ALT and AST results - 70 for ast, 79 for alp. Doctor wasn't too worried. But the GGT results are 600. I drink heavily. He said I must stop for a month. The Ultrasound showed a fatty liver. He said at least it's not got further. Any advice? I will stop for a month and check but how quickly will

hemangioma on the liver.
Hi everyone. I have cirrhosis from HCV contracted some forty years ago. I was treated successfully some eighteen years ago. On a routine US scan they found a lump which,after two MRI scans six months apart, turns out to be a rapidly growing hemangioma. I found out that the consultant has referred me

Carnitine
Just some info for those using Carnitine for hyper symptoms. I use it and originally used l carnitine before changing to acetyl. Found both worked well but at a high dose 4000 -4500 mg daily. Less did not stop the palpitations completely. However I am now using an l carnitine product bought on eBay made

Should fluid intake be limited when acities is present?
Hi, my husband has cirrhosis & is waiting to be assessed for a transplant. He has acities which he feels is getting worse. He's on spirolactone 100mga daily. I have been encouraging 1 1/2 -2 litres a day but am worried this might be making the acities worse?! Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank

Red flushes and my liver tests, time to stop?
I was quite a heavy drinker in periods over the last 15-20 years up until the end of January this year. Sometimes it was 2-4 times per week, some weeks nothing, sometimes periods of 6-8 weeks or longer without. Generally it was not daily though there were periods of several days in a row. Essentially
