Fatty Liver
Hello. I have recently been diagnosed with fatty liver. I have been a heavy drinker for at least 25 years. My question is: How long will it take for my liver to recover if I abstain from alcohol completely? I understand that there is no set figure but any advice is appreciated. Thanks for your help

new diagnosis
Hella all. I was diagnosed a few years ago with nafld and then due to an error had a two year gap between a fibrosis score and getting the results. That showed a jump from 7 to 16 in the score so I was offered another test. The new test gave a result of 28 and a fat scores of 396/400. Understandably

2 years and counting…
I had supper with my family yesterday evening. I’d cooked some fish for Good Friday and had opened a bottle of chilled Chablis for them and a sparkling elderflower soft drink for myself. (Belvoir Farm - delicious). We were chatting and my brother reminded me that it was 2 years ago since I’d been in

Good news
Whilst I am still struggling with getting help for my son, I had a bright spot of news this week. Had a consultation with my liver nurse, first time face to face since lockdown. My bloods have been great for several years, ultrasounds all good too. I had a Fibroscan as I hadn’t had one for around 4

I don’t understand my diagnosis as it’s changed from being overdosed by opiates (hospital error). Now it’s change.
In 2019 I was found on the floor & I don’t know or recall nothing. I could not see as I had balloon out so big that I was unrecognisable. It was a while to get my sight back but I was also told that I was had Liver failure. All my different consultants got together and realised that I was on so much

Thiamin
Hi, my gp has prescribed Thiamine, she hasn't said how long I need to take it for ? I have a little bit of fatty liver, but that's all I know, what sort of question should I be asking and how worried should I be?
