varices grade 2
My consultant physician did a surveillance Gastroscopy which showed 2 varices grade 2, as I was taking Carvedilol twice daily he has decided no further action is required. Having had a burst varice in the past which put me in hospital for a week. I am confused to why he’s decided not to band them surely

Finally got FibroScan
Some of you may remember I was diagnosed with NASH Cirrhosis on a CT scan a few months ago. I then had a FibroTest which showed F3 fibrosis. After months of waiting I finally had the FibroScan done last week and results are kpa 11.9 which is considered cirrhosis 😞 in NASH patients. I didn’t get a CAP

Made to feel ashamed
I'm sorry if this is insignificant but I have just had a 'health review ' at my local doctors and made to feel ashamed and embarrassed and absolutely awful about myself.I have liver cirrhosis, I was ill November 2022 and had numerous scans and it was confirmed by a fibro scan. It scared the hell out

Fibroscan update
Hello. I had a fibroscan at a BLT roadshow 6 months ago which scared me as it was 11.7kpa and cap 218. I'm a 45yo female. I was sent for an ARFI ultrasound after this by my GP, which scored me as being at the lower end of F2 fibrosis ( 1.25m/s) with mild to moderate fatty infiltration. The ultrasound

Do you know why the hospital consultants say to you maybe have 3 years to live after a stomach acities drain and decompressed cirrosis. yet many people here are saying they are living a good life. İt's cruel to give that information and then share it with your

misdiagnosed cirrhosis?
I was diagnosed with cirrhosis approximately a year ago. Had all the classic symptoms with ascites being the worst. Every time the gastroenterologist sent me for an MRI, the ascites has interfered with the test. He reluctantly gave me a diagnosis of cirrhosis when pushed but didn’t seem confident. Been

hi again I recently posted that my blood test showed ALT 50 and ALP 177. My GP is repeating tests. I’ve been reading a lot about the progression of liver disease from fatty liver onwards. I have read that all types of scans can detect fatty liver and other problems. In 2019 I had a CT scan for
