Fibroscan Results
Howdy, I've recently had a scan after increased liver enzymes and an ultrasound nine months ago which showed a fatty liver as a result. Naturally, it motivated weight loss with a cleaner diet which meant a BMI change from 31.2 to 27.1 - so quite some change ! The fibroscan results noted 4.7 KPA and

blood test results
Hi all. I am age 24 male. History with excessive alcohol for the past 5 years. I recently got a full blood work carried out at my GP and my liver enzymes came back as ok, but I don’t really understand what any of it means. I tried calling my GP and it’s like trying to milk blood out of a stone

Mood swings
My husband has a decompensated liver. Recently I have noticed that he gets angry very quickly whereas, when he was drinking he was very placid He has been told he doesn't appear to have H.E. so are these mood swings liver related or would it be more likely to be his abstention from alcohol? I am treading

Vitamins and Supplements
I am in the throws of reading Chris van Tulleken's book Ultra-Processed People. It has been an eye opener. Not that one hasn't been aware of the harms of processed food but perhaps one has been unaware at how extensive it is and also how seemingly malicious for corporate gain? What does come out is

They are saying that he can have ablation on the lesion or possibly resection but first they need to speak to the surgeon who is at another hosital as they dont do resection at the Norfolk and Norwich hospital

Vitamin A - retinol.
Dr. John Campbell posted a video about how low vitamin A (retinol) levels predispose a person to experience pneumonia from the Mycoplasm pneumoniae which is currently at near epidemic levels among children in northern China. No surprise here to be honest considering the severe lockdowns. Children have

About 6 years ago I had some a full set of blood tests done and 3 years later I had more of which I was told that my LFTs were deranged and that they could t understand why the previous Doctor didn’t raise any concerns as my ALT levels were over 1200 and my AST in high hundreds. This time the enzymes

Severe hepatic steatosis
HiMy CT scan says liver has smooth contour, 'severe hepatic steatosis', no focal liver lesion or biliary dilatation. I phoned the helpline and was recommended to ask for fib 4 test but my gp says they don't do that. Just had normal full bloods and liver panel taken. Waiting for the results but I fear
