I Feel like I should be grateful to be on the waiting list for a new liver. But I really don’t feel grateful to towards the kind doctors.
I hate the way I feel about the thought of a new liver transplant. I have made it know to doctors about my feeling towards a new liver transplant. I feel great at the moment and I only on one type of tablet a day. For my liver condition. After I have a new liver transplant I will be on 27 different

I really don’t want a liver transplant but do not know how to get of the list for good.
I really don’t want a liver transplant. Last year in December I was out on the liver transplant list. I got called in within less then a week after being put on the transplant list. 14th December 2021 to be more precise. But it never happened. And just felt the whole excise was a trial run. I been attending

Soz for all the questions
Hubby back in hospital, major hemorrage this time. He has had 5 varices banded and still sedated. I'm just about coping, but question is with decompensated liver disease can you still get on the transplant list even if you have came out if hospital in the past and drank. I asked the consultant today

38 year old brother with varices
Hi there. My brother is 38 and has stage 4 liver chirossis. I have just found out he has esophgeal varices following his Ascites and he’s already vomited blood. From what I am reading his life expectancy when this happens is very short? The doctors have yet to tell me this though. My heart is broken

Compeensated or decompensated
Hi there, I was diagnosed with decompensated cirrhosis 15 months ago after having blood tests and CT scan. My doctor has now told me after a recent telephone appointment that my liver has fully recovered after abstinence of alcohol and cigarettes and healthy diet ,although scarring will always remain

A simple question on Cirrhosis..
When I last had tests 3 years ago my doctor felt my liver and said, ‘That feels lovely and soft’, and when I had a CT scan 7 years ago another doctor there also felt my liver and said it felt perfectly OK to him, too, Whilst I know that a doctor needs to have proper test results to hand before making

Advice needed. Many thanks!
Hi everyone. Newbie here! Very soon I will have my first appointment with a consultant since my cirrhosis diagnosis in July 2022. I was wondering if any of you have some good general questions to ask a consultant that I can take with me? I've thought of a few but as I'm new to all of this and am not

Haemochromatosis and my liver
Male, now 50. My story starts five years ago when I was renovating my house and tripped down a broken staircase and knocked myself unconscious. I went to A&E and after getting a head scan my GP had me get some blood tests for any nasty tell tale signs to do with concussion and bleed on the brain. Thankfully

just wondering
just wondering If Cirrhosis secondary to NASH with portal hypertension is de compensated or compensated I understand that varices and Ascites are normally present with de compensated but does having the portal hypertension make a difference ?

Gentle liver flush - any benefits?
Hi All I've been reading about the link between hypothyroid and liver. I have decided to do a gentle detox. This involves castor oil on a cloth and a hot water bottle and lying it on the liver region for about 45 minutes. I've do it two days in a row. I just wondered if anyone else has done this and

AST/ALT Ratio
Hi everyone, I hope all is well. I recently got Bloodwork done after several years not getting Bloodwork. In the past, I drank a lot in college (I'm a 31 year old male, 200 pounds, 5' 11). All bloodwork looked fine. I always pay attention to the AST/ALT numbers due to my past heavy drinking history
