care options for H.E and decompensated cirrhosis
Hey, hoping for some advice on care options for someone suffering with cirrhosis and H.E My dad was diagnosed this January, but clearly quite late on - he has since had 4 hospital admissions due to severe (stage 3) H.E and one time he went into coma (stage 4). This latest admission lasted 2 weeks

Coarsened Hepatic Echotexture
This finding is from the newest elastography. I thought I was doing everything right. KPA in 2022 was 10.5 F2-F.3, now it's 5.5 F0-F0-F1. I quit drinking alcohol in 2020, went on Mediterranean diet, and walk 1-3 miles per day. The only vice I have is baked goods, cookies, cake, and candy. 2022

We understand....
In my initial bio, I related to you that I had PBC for some 20 years before receiving a life saving liver transplant almost 19 years ago. In about 25% of those with liver transplants the PBC returns. We have to remember that our body still has the tendency to 'attack' it's own bile ducts and bile duct

Liver hemangiona
hi, I’ve just been told I have a small lover hemangiona. My mum passed away in September and her post mortem revealed advanced cancer of the gall bladder, bile ducts and liver lessions. I am told there is nothing to worry about but I have all the same symptoms my mum use to get, jaundiced eyes, swelling

Struggle after transplant
Hi all,My partner had a liver transplant on 25/02/2024. The surgery was a bit more complex from an anurysm but went well. Unfortunately he was taken back into surgery less than 24 hours later due to a leaking artery which was thankfully treated. He was out of ITU two days later. Four days later he experienced

A medical professionals responsibility
Last year before Christmas I had a routine blood test that showed a reduced platelet count. Went from 160 18 months ago to 139. I had been going though a period of very heavy drinking (day and night) in the two months prior to the test. I went to see the Doctor as he called and asked me to come in that

The whites of your eyes?
Sorry to bother but these last several days the whites of my eyes are grayish and bloodshot when I wake. Not yellow though. They get better as the day goes on but its curious to me and slightly worrisome. Will be weeks before I can see my liver dr. Has anyone else had this? Is it a common side effect

confused?
Just want to say that although I am confused I am also thankful with the results I received following an US. Making this short I have been diagnosed with Cryptogenic cirrhosis following abnormal bloods and Fibroscan. As per NICE guidelines I have bloods taken every 6 months and US. I have also had

AST/ALT Ratio
I've just joined as I've been worrying myself sick with online data regarding AST/ALT ratio. My liver function test results came back within range but when I use the ratio calculator it says I have liver cerrhosis or chronic hepatitis. Thanks for any help.

Effects of medications
I was diagnosed with PD about a year ago. I am of course interested in anything that is neuroprotective. I was told that only exercise is so I do that. Some believe that nicotine is so I have been on nicotine gum for several months. So far I have not noticed progression. My primary symptom is weakness

NMN supplement help cirrhosis?
Hi, I have been diagnosed with decompensated cirrhosis in June 23, now in a compensated state with bloods improving every time. I have been abstinent since diagnosis. I do a lot of physical exercise and have been told it’s safe for me to take whey protein. I am very conscious of what I take and have
