Organ Donation
Hi, I would like some advice / opinions if possible. I would like to enrol in the live kidney donation programme. My only concern is 'what if my brother needs it'. He was hospitalised with decompensated cirrhosis in 2019 and was given a 20% chance of survival. He miraculously recovered and is now compensated

Tooth extraction while on Tocilizumab
I am on tocilizumab injecting once a week. I am due to have a tooth extraction tomorrow morning at 08.55 Do I need to take any special precautions? Or should the dentist know? Thank you Linda

Failed Ascites Drain with Decomensated liver Cirrhosis - Now what?
Hi. My husband is in a hospital with Liver failure and kidneys have also failed but been filtered. He has bad ascites and is struggling to breath, you can hear him struggling and his breathing is gurgly. They have tried to drain his ascites three times but he is haemorrhaging each time, so no drain

Helpless.
My brother is an alcoholic, his liver has been severely damaged as a result and we nearly lost him last year. He’s been told he’s not to drink any alcohol but after about 6-8 weeks after he came out of hospital he started drinking again. He lives in London and I live in South Wales, I’ve only seen him

Feeling a bit stressed
I’m in the stressful position of selling my house and buying a new house closer to my family. The end point will be worth it, but I’m in a difficult chain and I’m worried it’s going to fall through. The sale is the result of a long term relationship breakdown which makes it even more messy as my ex partner

Ultrasound and repeat fibroscan
Hi All, just an update. I had my ultrasound on my liver and I have been told it was clear, as were my blood tests. I had already had a fibroscan a few weeks ago, after not drinking alcohol for 4 weeks, and it read 7.5kpa. I advised the consultant at this meeting that I had drank a lot of water and

I need the rest
You sound exactly like a mirror of myself. I agree, the augmentation and withdrawal are horrible. I take Gabapentin, 600 mg. about 7 p.m. and 900 mg. at 9 p.m. About 8:30 I take 100 mg. Tramadol. I am weaning off my last .5 mg. Ropinirole and usually take that at 7:15 p.m. I had about 1 week of beautiful

How long will the pain go on for.

In Feb21 they said liver slightly enlarged. In April they said it was normal. In June CT scan in a and e showed nothing but fatty liver

Does stress affect liver function ?
My husband has cirrhosis and is decompensated, although keeping relatively stable with medication. However, over the last few weeks he has been suffering more noticeably and able to do much less than usual. We have just been through a period of intense stress/bereavement/trauma and I'm wondering if this

Where are all the husbands talking about their wives and partners alcohol-related liver disease?
I had a most enjoyable coffee with a fellow liver transplantee this afternoon. I’ve not seen this lady (due to Covid) for almost two years, so it was nice to catch up. Her liver transplant was due to PBC (Primary biliary cholangitis). This poor lady does understandably get frustrated as she is often

AST/MCV/ red palms
It’s been a long time since I posted on here. In January I had a liver biopsy that said nothing out of the ordinary besides mild bile pigment that they blamed on my Gilbert’s syndrome. I still had/ have URQ pains on and off but just learned to live with it as there’s nothing that can be done or found

Fibro scan?
This is going to come across as a very unintelligent question but here it goes. What is a fibro scan and how do I know if I have had one. I know that sounds ridiculous but I have had so many tests. Why haven’t I heard my doctor speaking of this when I have a liver specialist. All I have to do is not
