Fibroscan shows fatty liver
Hi, had my Fibroscan today. I was diagnosed with Primary Biliary Cholangitis 6 months ago, my scan said I had slight fatty liver damage and the other reading was 5.8 so in normal range. I presumed the scan would've picked up damage from PBC not fatty liver. Does this mean I don't have PBC? I've to wait

Liver Transplant – Letter to Donor family – totally gutted.
I had my liver transplant back in 2016 due to alcohol abuse and Hepatocellular Carcinoma. For a good 10-months post-transplant, I suffered terribly with survivors guilt and PTSD. I honestly felt that writing that letter to the donor family was an honest reflection of my gratitude. It helped me to deal

DNA mutations impacting liver disease patients identified by Wellcome Sanger Institute and Cancer Research UK Cambridge Institute
From time to time I like to post up any interesting liver research that’s recently been concluded, that may be of interest to others. When I developed end-stage liver disease back in 2015, I became diabetic. No one could tell me why, or even which type of diabetes I had. The diabetic doctor told me it

CT scan shows multiple liver metastases.
Hello ladies. I hope everyone is as well as can be. I had a CT scan of chest, abdomen and pelvis yesterday afternoon. I had not expected the results until Monday or Tuesday, but the report posted yesterday evening and shows multiple tumors on liver. I’m not surprised. I meet with the new oncologist

Update on partner, some good news
Hi all. I hope everyone is as well as can be and staying positive. My partner had his transplant last weekend and is doing well! Less than 4 weeks on the list with 2 unlucky trips, but 3rd time all systems go. I can only tell it from my experience. I can't explain the relief and gratitude I feel.

Hi everyone, I’ve just had a fibroscan, and told I have scaring of my liver, my consultation was surprised as my bloods were all normal so he did it twice, first time the score was 9, second time 7.5. I’ve no fatty liver. He said as I hadn’t had a drink recently it could have been worse. He said that

Danny don't smile
I think I need to change my name. What a bad month so far. I don't suppose any of my fellow liver disease, brothers in arms will volunteer to roll my into hospital in 2 weeks time? Ascites drains............(cannot believe I'm writing this) I can't wait..... Anxiety, I couldn't grasp the notion until

Battle Lost To Alcohol
Unfortunately, my husband died yesterday from complications due to cirrhosis. He had been a heavy drinker for most of his adult life. He felt well and was working full time right up to the day he got admitted to hospital at the end of August. Even for the first couple of weeks in hospital, he felt reasonably

Prognosis for compensated cirrhosis
I have cardiac cirrhosis from right sided heart failure. Tricuspid valve is regurgitating severely sending blood back to liver, congesting it to the point of cirrhosis. I have no liver symptoms. Found incidentally on CT scan. Anyway, I know that survival is 9-12 years for compensated cirrhosis at diagnosis

CHILD-PUGH SCORE
Scottish female age 64 years. I've recently been diagnosed with Autoimmune Hepatitis Cirrhosis . I'd no idea. May have been caused after 40 years of taking Statins for high cholesterol but equally may be hereditary. My letter states my Child-Pugh score is 5 which I note is level A in some literature

My partner's story
Hello to everyone, I've been a silent member of this group for a few weeks and I have found your posts really helpful. I have decided that now is the time to share with you the story so far with my partner and his diagnosis of alcohol related liver disease. He's 43 years old and he's been a daily drinker

Do you feel your liver?
Ever since this all started I can feel my liver now. Not like a pain or anything. It kinda feels like your stomach when you get a hungry. Is this normal?

Confused and freaking out
Hi, I should preface this by saying that I have OCD, and, since having my son, health anxiety. I don’t cope well with the unknown and I know I need to find strategies for dealing with fluctuations in my condition given the nature of PBC. I was diagnosed in around 2010, and have generally responded well

Very Sick Husband With Cirrhosis - Will Things Get Any Better?
My husband has been drinking heavily for years and this has finally caught up with him. He has had low platelet count for a while now but in August we noticed he was getting very jaundiced. At this point, he had blood tests and was admitted to hospital. He is about to be discharged now after 7 weeks
