Following liver transplant, having kidney problems- any advice
I am now 66y old, and had a liver transplant in Sept 2022. First I was recovering well, then picked up CMV (cyto megalo virus(!)). Developing kidney problems, currently 21% kidney function, and creatinine of 230. Can anyone offer any thoughts, advice etc? Grateful for your input.

Liver disease, mast cells and antihistamine
I’ve just seen a post on X about mast cells and Covid-19 which mentioned a link with autoimmune diseases of the gut and the use of antihistamines as a treatment.. I wondered if anything was known about autoimmune liver diseases, mast cells and antihistamines. I found this 2017 research paper https://

I had a liver transplant in 2016 now last few years health isn't going great, and Dr wants to change my adoport to envarus, but my story is long. But just for now does envarus stop bad headaches, cause weight gain. Plus suffer low sodium levels and type 3c diabetic. That's me for now

Why am I being tested for Hep B?
I have had Budd Chiari for nearly 14 years, I have a shunt and luckily everything has been going fine since then. I have an app every 6 months for an ultrasound scan, then my outpatient app and bloods taken. I had an appointment yesterday and like normal I was in and out quite quickly as the scan showed

Fibroscan result waiting time?
Please can somebody tell me how long it takes to receive results for a fibroscan? I started this journey in November 2023 after asking for a general check-up at my GP surgery because of some non-liver related issues. I had no awareness at all that my liver could be damaged. After a few rounds of blood

Stage 4 fibrosis of the Liver
I contracted Hepatitis A in 2020, undiagnosed for 2 months. Six months later I was told I had NALD and last year I was sent for ultrasound scans and blood tests to check for cancer. In March this year, I was told I had Stage 4 Fibrosis of the liver. Does anyone know if this can be reversed, any treatments

Fibroscan results - can someone help please?
I was diagnosed with 'probable cirrhosis' 6 years ago, based on a US and LFTs. I was drinking heavily at the time, so it was a shock rather than a surprise, and I took it at face value. I've been seeing a gastro team ever since, but have never been given a prognosis or any indication of whether the

Follow up ultrasound for cirrhosis, shown polyp In gallbladder
Hi, looking if anyone has experience/ info on this? is it common, linked to cirrhosis ? It’s completely thrown me as I’ve been feeling healthy since diagnosis last year. This was my first US since. I was hoping for news that my liver looked slightly better than original scan, as I’ve worked my backside

Stopping Injections After 3 Loading Doses
Hi! I’m new here and learning so much from reading all of the posts here. I was diagnosed with low B12 levels earlier on this year, although my PA antibodies came back negative. I was put on injections, and was meant to have 6 over 2 weeks followed by 1 every 3 months, however my GP had to stop them
