compensated question
Saw one of my consultants doctors last week who felt on examination that ascities was gone. I asked him does that mean I’m compensated and he said I could be. He sent me for an ultrasound and the results were good apart from the usual cirrhosis scarring and gallstones. Trace fluid also which he said

Entresto
Hi everyone, 4 weeks since diagnosis of
Dilated
Cardiomyopathy
. Currently taking Losartan. EF 32. I am 53. So far had ct scan, echocardiogram, angiogram and mri scan. Consultant is definitely getting all the relevant information he needs. But, I feel that I'm not getting any interim support.

Update
Hi I posted a couple of weeks ago about my brother who is currently in the QEB with liver disease. You all gave such helpful advice so i’m here with an update. Things have been up and down. A few days ago he finally got a room on a liver ward as opposed to the general ward, this has been much better

A bit of advice please from you experts
AF, HF,
Dilated
Cardiomyopathy
, diabetes, and mild liver and kidney failure, but after a couple of years of trial and error I’ve settled for the past couple of years on a drug cocktail which seems to suit.

25 years of daily heavy drinking
hi, I have been one of the lucky ones, and I’m not writing this to gloat, I’ve read many of the stories on here about the effects of drinking, and it has been through reading these and re-assessing my own lifestyle that I was able to finally go to the doctor and tell him the truth about my drinking.

Carvedilol
Hi, I've had my second (annual) gastroscopy since my Cirrhosis was diagnosed last year in February. The results were pretty much as the first one, so no change. The doctor who performed this test, different to the first one, suggested that my GP put me on Carvedilol. GP prescribed it and I have now

Fatty Liver
Hello. I have recently been diagnosed with fatty liver. I have been a heavy drinker for at least 25 years. My question is: How long will it take for my liver to recover if I abstain from alcohol completely? I understand that there is no set figure but any advice is appreciated. Thanks for your help

hello Has anyone heard of this new treatment “Liver Dialysis’ apparently cleans your liver out of toxins, improves your bloods? I’m seeing my transplant team for the first time on 9th Aug and apparently I think I’m boarderline if I need a transplant, so was wondering if this treatment would be better

Good news
Whilst I am still struggling with getting help for my son, I had a bright spot of news this week. Had a consultation with my liver nurse, first time face to face since lockdown. My bloods have been great for several years, ultrasounds all good too. I had a Fibroscan as I hadn’t had one for around 4

I don’t understand my diagnosis as it’s changed from being overdosed by opiates (hospital error). Now it’s change.
In 2019 I was found on the floor & I don’t know or recall nothing. I could not see as I had balloon out so big that I was unrecognisable. It was a while to get my sight back but I was also told that I was had Liver failure. All my different consultants got together and realised that I was on so much
