imuran
I have been on Imuran 50mg for over 3 years and will be on it another 2 for autoimmune hepatitis. I also have PBC and take ursodiol for that. Imuran has lowered my liver levels and has kept them stable for me. It suppresses your immune system but it’s manageable. My dr is hoping that after being on it

PBC suspecting
Fibroscan though was at 24,7 (with no
fatty
liver
) that is confirmed cirrhosis. I am awaiting for the results of mri, another ultrasound and blood tests (including ANA and AMA) I was a moderate drinker (last 6 months did not drink at all), eat quite healthy.

Good site for vegan nutrition info and some supplements I take
https://veganhealth.org/daily-needs/ For a good B12 source would recommend the 3 natural form supplement here : https://www.sunday.de/en/vitamin-b12/. 500mcg per day is a good safe dosage. You cannot overdose on B12 and although 500mcg seems like a lot, only an estimated 6-7mcg are absorbed of this

imuran /Azathioprine
i’ve been started on Imuran/Azathioprine, for arthritis. I will have to be monitored closely, with labs due to my PBC. I was wondering if anyone else had their liver enzymes(inflammation), Get better while on this medication? My hepatologist, and Rheumatologist . Both agree, that if monitored closely

Can ultrasound detect cirrhosis?
hi all I’ve had a clear ultrasound but I have high high serum ferritin. GP referring me for a fibroscan and I’m really worried I might have cirrhosis. Anyone know how good ultrasound is at detecting cirrhosis??? Ive been drinking at least a bottle of wine daily for about 6 years with very few days off

PBC diagnosis? AMA 125,1
US showed a homogeneous
liver
, Fibroscan 24,7, diagnosed cirrhosis, no
fatty
liver
or alcohol. MRI suspects cirrhosis (suggesting biopsy), majority of the biliary ducts are normal with mild biliary ductal dilation in the left lobe. Blood test from 2 weeks ago showed ALT 208 and AST 247.

AST is above ALT

Update on transplant
So we had the follow up appointment this week with the transplant team. My husband has been on Rifaxomin since our last appointment 6 weeks ago, which he has responded really well to - thus confirms the diagnosis of mild HE. Happily, he hasnt had typical symtoms, just incredible fatigue, sleepiness and

Occasional RUQ since a few years, now elevated GPT
I'm not taking drinking any alcohol, an uncle of mine also has
fatty
liver
but no further problems, my father was found to have an increased liver years ago but both had no further issues.

ELF Test (Enhanced Liver Fibrosis)
Has anyone here had this test? I saw a different hepatologist and he ordered this lab. From what I understand, it measures 3 molecules in the liver matrix metabolism and gives a score reflecting the severity of fibrosis. They say it is so accurate it is beginning to replace liver biopsies.

Recent deterioration
I have an autoimmune liver disease called Nodular Regenerative Hyperplasia. This is caused by a primary immune condition called Common Variable Immune Deficiency. I have deteriorated slowly over 10 years and the phrase “ advanced liver disease” was used for the first time in September. A few weeks

ICU stay
I was admitted to hospital at the end of April after months of nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea and fatigue. I remember the ambulance but not entering the hospital. I was placed in an induced coma and ventilated for five days due to extensive brain swelling, respiratory distress, suspected abdominal sepsis

Adrenal gland mass and a whole lot of other stuff (falling to bits)
I also have diabetes type 2, coronary artery disease (stent & angioplasty) and I have non alcoholic
fatty
liver
disease. Then I have fibromyalgia too. I feel awful all the time, tired, sore and I am worried sick about it all. GP just makes referrals she can’t answer any questions.

Bizarre fibro scan reading
So after decades of alcohol abuse I had a CT scan of my liver 2 years ago. The report said " The parenchyma demonstrates increased echogenicity and coarse echotexture. Appearances are suggestive of early cirrhotic changes.." and also received a text message from the doctor saying "your liver scan confirms
