MRE vs Fibroscan
They did the fibroscan because 6 months ago I had an ultrasound that showed a slightly enlarged spleen and some
fatty
infiltration in the
liver
. They are sending me for an MRI with elastography on Friday to confirm the staging. Does anyone have any experience with this test?

Scar Tissue & Pain
Hi, my emergency liver resection and tumour removal was in sept 2020. I’ve got a large yet beautiful scar across my abdomen. After 18months, I still get a lot of scar pain and can feel the scar tissue. I’ve had scar tissue massage a few times from a trained person and try to do a bit myself at home

Spider nevi central spot?
Hi, As per previous posts I'm anxious about my liver, with good cause as a previous heavy drinker (50 units a week , much reduced last few years). A couple of years ago I had a liver MRI -fine. So my question - I've noticed some red veins at bottom of nose. Are these always spider nevi? I can't see

Why does losing weight fast make fatty liver worse?
I haven’t really found an answer online, just the statement that it does. Thanks in advance.

Swapping Baricitinib for Tocilizumab
Hi All. Been having a bad time with flare and fatigue following Covid and although on Baricitinib 4 mgs and Pred 10 mgs daily I’ve not been good. I started a flare back in December and it seemed that in Feb after Covid the Baricitinib is much less effective, if it’s working at all. The rheumatologists

Could I have cirrhosis?
I am 28 years old. I have spider angiomas on my chest and palmar erythema on my hand. I used antipsychotic and antidepressant drugs for a long time. I have sometimes taken flu meds and roaccutane along with these meds. My doctor said it's nothing to worry about. But high direct bilirubin worries me.

Fluid around liver post transplant
Hi, I'm 2 years post liver transplant, and I'm currently in hospital for a kidney infection. Thankfully they seem to have got this under control, even though my kidneys are only working around 43%. The worry is that a CT scan has shown up some fluid around my liver. Pre transplant I never suffered with

Rising Bilirubin
Good morning. I have stage 4 prostate cancer and since March, have been taking a drug called Zytiga (Abiraterone) which has been known to affect the liver. A recent blood test shows my Bilirubin to be 24umol/L when the normal range should be 0-20. A month ago, it was 19umol/L. I am therefore concerned

Cirrhosis/Sprionolactone/testosterone
I know. Bit of an odd one!!! Hi all! I’d just be interested to know if anyone has had any (male) hormone issues surrounding cirrhosis and/or the use of Spironolactone. Or perhaps it’s just me?! About a month before diagnosis, (I couldn’t see them because of my swollen belly), It felt like my testicles

blood group and being listed
my partner is at the very early stage of transplant assessment and today our transplant co-ordinator has told him that based on his current bloods and his blood group (A) she expects that if he were to be listed for transplant it would be a wait of weeks rather than months. He is actually not hugely

Helpful article for those who love someone who is dying of alcoholic liver disease
Hello, everyone — This article might be helpful for anyone who is watching a loved one die from alcohol addiction disease, and it’s subsequent effect on the liver. It’s stunningly honest and frank, and faces head-on some issues that are difficult to talk about. I hope it might give support and a feeling
