Altermative to a liver biopsy???
I have not formally been diagnosed with PBC but am responding well to urso. I had a liver biopsy which went wrong and resulted in a perforrated gallbladder and I really dont want another one. Does a fibroscan do the same job as a biopsy?

Diet for fatty liver?
After a bad relapse with alcohol my blood numbers had all gotten raised again, the doctors did tests and say while they are coming down and I don't have cirrhosis I shouldn't drink again and I have fatty liver. Other than staying off alcohol is there a diet I should be sticking too for this? While

First outpatient appointment with consultant
My husband had his first outpatient appointment after being discharged almost 5 weeks ago. The clinical team feel he needs a transplant sooner rather than later. His UKELD score is 60. Mixed emotions with part of me being terrified but part thinking this could be the answer to our prayers and the
