Elevated Gamma-GT and gallbladder stone
I posted a while back about how my GGT value was increasing over time and with every repeat blood test it was elevated further. All other enzyme values in normal range, I had an ultrasound this week and it showed one gallbladder stone. I have no symptoms of gallbladder issues - no abdominal pain etc

Cirrhosis and gallstones
Hi Everyone. I have yet another question [sorry!] I have cirrhosis, and gallstones were picked up in my last Cat Scan. Just wondering if gallstones can increase liver enzymes in blood tests? Thank you!

I felt amazing after but it’s now 3:30pm and i feel like i’m constipated again and that there is still more to be released. Shall I take another one tonight to clear

Urso and gallstones
A recent ultrasound revealed possible gallstone blocking a bile duct. An MRCP was recommended and carried out a couple of weeks ago although more like an MRI as no contrast was administered. I now have an appointment in June but I'm not sure what for. My concern is from reading the Urso leaflet it

2nd Liver Biopsy result
My 2nd liver biopsy states I have advanced bridging fibrosis with a score of 4/6. Which I think means F3. My previous fibroscan was F2 (9.2kpa). I'm not seeing my consultant for 13 weeks. I know I'm not supposed to post test results but I would love to hear from anyone at F3 & how they are coping with

Rib pain after breathing test
On 22nd I took respiratory test. Ribs in area of LUNG SURGERY in 2019 are very painful upon effort; front, side, and back. I'm taking tylenol and rubbing creams with little improvement. Any one experience this after test?

Experiences with urso, ocaliva and bezafibrate
Hi everyone!I was just curious about your experiences taking a combination of udca, ocaliva 10 mg and bezafibrates. Does it improve the itching? Did you notice any unwanted side effect from bezafibrate, e.g. in kidneys? Thanks for sharing and stay healthy and motivated!
