Agitation awaiting liver transplant
My husband and I are constantly arguing over the smallest things. He becomes very agitated and verbally abusive. He has compensated cirrhosis and HCC. He is currently awaiting a liver transplant. Our marriage is in tatters.

Liver Transplant Pre / Post op
Just found out I need a liver transplant in two years. Non drinker, liver disease undiagnosed for 20 years but it looks like its finally packing up. Does anyone live in the Cardiff / South Wales area who may have been through this process so I can get a handle on what I've got coming my way. Only found

Kidney transplant medication side effects
Hi Everyone... hope you are all off to a great summer. I've been going through testing to see if I can be put on the kidney transplant list. They do SO many tests! Whew! My gfr fluctuates between 11-13 and has gone to this number fairly quickly. After meeting with the pharmacy side of a transplant

Ureteral stricture after transplant with no success after attempting stent and ballooning
Hello:) I just had my third kidney transplant in December. I had multiple pre transplant day long meetings to decide the best option for me having a third transplant and it was decided my fiance would donate and we would do paired exchange as a live donor and planned transplant would be for the best

The article referred to below
This paper is behind a paywall, so I'll get it elsewhere. But it shows the benefits of giving T3 to patients after heart failure. This is just the abstract

Covid and Sinus Rhythm with Supraventricular Ectopy
Hi, Since my very successful ablation in November 20 I have been in normal sinus rhythm. I have contracted Covid, and have flu like symptoms. My Kardia (Advanced Determination) now reports I have Sinus Rhythm with Supraventricular Ectopy. I know that Covid can induce heart arrythmias, is this something

Stopping Prednisone
I had my kidney transplant 2-1/2 years ago and my lab tests are consistently good. I'm taking everolimus, mycophenolic acid and prednisone. The prednisone is causing weight gain, diabetes and, possibly, hair loss. I tapered down to 5 mg of prednisone over two years ago. I'm now wondering whether I can

Visit with new Hem/Onc Dr went well!
Hi Friends, I had my first visit with my new local doctor. He is Associate Head of Stem Cell Transplant Dept with Ochsner in Louisiana. He does not treat any cancers other than blood. He listened and verbalized understanding that my previous Dr’s were not a fit for me. He reviewed my BMB from Vanderbilt

Travel Insurance
My son had open heart surgery to repair a large VSD at 5 months old. It was successful, but he still has mitral valve regurgitation and takes regular meds. We are planning to have our first family holiday in the summer. Which insurers would you recommend to get travel insurance with? Any advice is much

Mini Maze Procedures, there is a place for all, my personal view
I am sure I am not the only one who has been saddened by the recent heated discussions on the mini maze. I live in the U.K. and have recently had a mini maze where this is currently a lesser known and used procedure. Catheter ablations (and meds) are the standard in the U.K. and Catheter ablations

Heart surgery
I go into hospital tomorrow for open heart surgery to replace my aortic valve. I was in hospital just before Easter to have a TAVI . My surgeon decided I was a candidate for OpH surgery. Bit daunting but looking forward to having a better quality of life!

Third open heart surgery
Hi there, my partner has been diagnosed with severe aortic stenosis and will need a valve replacement soon. He has congenital heart disease and this will be his third open heart surgery. Has anyone here undergone multiple surgeries? How was it? There isn't much information online and I'm keen to know

Heart surgery and Hashimotos
Has anyone had heart surgery and then gone on to be diagnosed with Hashimotos/ under active thyroid. I’m just looking to connect with anyone in a similar situation.

AF, ablation and odd heart rhythms
I had an ablation for AF in Dec. Since the procedure I have only experienced one short 3 min run of AF, but my heart has been very unsettled over the last five months. Recently, I've been suffering bouts of tachycardia (140 BPM for a minute or two is about as bad as it gets) at night, which are manageable
