Question on Varicies
As most here know Margaret is no longer with us. And I am still digging more and more to understand what happened. Reading through her reports back in Oct of 2020, she had a fatty mass compressing the IVC and Portal. Which led to development of Varices. By December 2020 the fatty masses had vanished

FIB4 Test
Did a follow up visit today with my hepatologist and he did this FIB4 calc for me. He extracted my data and assessed. Liver disease is frequently asymptomatic, challenging early identification in the primary care setting. The fibrosis 4 (FIB4) index is a liver fibrosis biomarker that is a potential

fibroscope
nearly 5yrs alcohol free. Recent fibroscope has gone from 80+ to 40. But I still have cirrhosis (with no symptoms and normal blood results). Can I be optimistic that my liver is recovering or will it never recover ?

Biotin
Hi please can you tell me how much biotin would affect blood test results. I am waiting for a doctors appointment , they have told me it will be between 2 and 4 weeks, but could be sooner. I am currently taking B complex supplement which contains biotin. I know the guideline is don't take for 7 days.

my mum - end stage liver failure
I just wondered if anyone may be able to offer any advice in our situation. My mum was diagnosed with cirrhosis 8 years ago and gave up alcohol. Unfortunately she started drinking again 4 years ago. She was in hospital for 6 weeks earlier this year and diagnosed with hepatic encephalopathy. I thought

Itching due to medication??

Divorced from Hepatologist also
After much testing at Duke, it was determined that it wasn’t from
fatty
liver
disease but because of my severe tricuspid regurgitation of that heart valve. My heart basically was killing my liver with fluid backing up into the liver from the heart.
