Advice needed recurrence
So for three years I was told I had IBS and
fatty
liver
. Was under a Gastroenterologist at a local hospital out of my NHS Trust area. Saw the Gastro man every 6 months and in Jan 202 I actually wrote to him because I was in pain. No response.

TIPS Procedure
I had a TIPS procedure done three weeks ago after ruptured varacies during a banding session. I was just wondering what others experience has been with TIPS. “Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is a procedure that involves inserting a stent (tube) to connect the portal veins to adjacent

Follow up Endoscopy for Cirrhosis
My husband has his first follow up endoscopy next week after having Decompensated Cirrhosis almost 2 years ago (was meant to be sooner but had to chase up). He had 2 varices which they put bands on initially (one burst after food poisoning, they were surprised they didn’t find more). He is really anxious

Update on my Cirrhosis
Good morning all. Just a quick update on my cirrhosis diagnosis caused by alcohol, smoking and obesity. I'm 18 months Alcohol and Cigarettes free now and lost nearly 3 stone through stopping drinking alcohol, smoking, eating healthy and getting plenty of exercise. I feel a lot healthier now than I have

What is the Kpa score on a Fibroscan that indicates cirrhosis?
I recently had a Fibroscan and had a score of 9 which has freaked me out a bit, so I’ve tried to cut back on drinking and eat healthily. I’ve seen my GP for a follow up and he didn’t seem too concerned, I thought I was close to cirrhosis so am pretty scared, as I thought the Kpa for cirrhosis was 10

Supplements for arthritis and rivaoxaban
Hi all My husband has paroxysmal AF and a pacemaker takes digoxin and Rivaoxaban. He has slight arthritis in both knees(too much playing hockey in his younger days!) and not bad enough to take painkillers all the time. Bothers him the most after sitting for a while and then moving again. Before his

Mental health and cirrhosis
Me and my partner have together for a year now. Started as friends, knew from the word go,he had cirrhosis. But it didn't change anything, still wanted to form a relationship with him. He had a call from a liver nurse today. She was very blunt and matter of fact. She triggered him again. She talked about

Private health with PBC
Hi there - I have a very specific question related to anyone who has PBC, has private health insurance and may have developed a new diagnosis later down the line eg. Liver cancer. How was your experience with private health dealing with the cancer and PBC? Did it mean treatment for that cancer was

Fine blood tests and ultrasound elastography after heavy alcohol abuse - am I safe then?
I suffered alcohol abuse for 3 years, and now I am a light drinker. I had normal blood tests, ultrasound and elastography 1.5 years ago. Am I safe as long as I drink in moderation (0-2 beers a week), or should I check my liver with elastography again? I assumed that I was safe since my results were

Fibrocscan results
Hi all. Thought I’d give an update after my previous few posts. Fibroscan results were good, 4.9 KPA - which I’m amazed at after my drinking history. Was told by the specialist to ignore my slightly elevated AST and to not bother keep testing it. Most likely muscle damage from the very physical job

Recent diagnosis
I’ve recently been diagnosed with cirrhosis and mild encephalopathy. There is also a suggestion that I may have autonomic failure. Has anyone had a similar diagnosis? I’m really frightened and am getting minimal support and advice from my doctors.
