liver health
so …. I consider myself a fairly intelligent individual, but the thing I don’t get is why does our consultants want our bloods normal , how does that help us when I’ve read your still classed as cirrhotic and it’s just the the healthy bits of the liver are emitting these correct chemicals , does this

Interesting diet study for NASH and Fibrosis.
"A clinical trial, led by a team at NDPCHS, has shown that a three-month rapid weight loss programme was not only safe but also effective in reducing the severity of a liver disease non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) with liver fibrosis." https://www.phc.ox.ac.uk/news/rapid-weight-loss-found-to-be-safe-and-helpful-for-people-with-liver-disease

Transplant Question
I’ve been wondering for awhile if kidney transplants are given once a person is past a certain age? I’m in the U.S. and I have a cousin who had severe liver disease. She was 75 & the state she lived in didn’t perform liver transplants on anyone over 68. I checked with my state, & liver transplants

Very scared again
Hi, I posted here a few months ago and people were so genuinely nice to take the time to respond. Last year I had multiple tests because of symptoms of cirrhosis I have (they are not terribly obvious to others, they are to me). Amongst all the tests I had, the Fibroscans came back at 3.33 or so but

B12 stored in liver ?
Hi I'm getting a little confused and trying to understand what is actually measured with blood tests... Does a serum Total B12 reflect what is or isn't stored in the liver at the time of the test or just what is circulating ? Does an Active B12 test measure the store differently, is the store in

20 years of drinking and want to stop but don’t dare’nt get a liver test.!!
iv been drinking beer for 20 year's, 4 to 5 pints most evenings at home after work. I know I must have damaged my liver in some way, I’m not stupid.! But my problem is that I dare’nt go for a liver function test as I also suffer with heath anxiety which doesn’t help ? Not that anyone one has asked me
