Rash from Cirrhosis?
Anyone with cirrhosis have a rash other than jaundice or spider veins? I have little raised red bumps that get very itchy and scaly. They’re mostly on my legs and my back and some along my waistline.

From the depths of despair, there is hope
Hi I have written a couple of posts on here but just want to update you re my progress to demonstrate how, with determination, you can turn things around. To summarise, last May/June I was hospitalised for over5 weeks. My drinking had slowly increased, (though I had always liked a drink) following

TIPS Procedure
Hi wonderful community. My question is: Has anyone had a TIPS procedure without having a gastric or esophageal bleed or without HE, ascites or any other of the many conditions associated with cirrhosis? Currently have cirrhosis, enlarged spleen(14.5 cm) and grade 4 both esophageal and gastric varices

Unrelated to Parkinson's
Prior to 1980 about the only relativly common form of thiamin was thiamin hcl and then most vitamins and enritched food products changed to thiamin mononitrate. While thiamin HCL is a wonderful form of thiamin for 99.99 % of the population for some reason I can't take it. When I take thiamin HCL in

Covid, AKI and liver damage

Lost my job Stayed sober well into this year but stress of not getting a new job and debt recently drove me to relapse. It was a heavy one - horrendous

Fibrosis result confusion
Hi all, I have been a lurker on this wonderful forum for about 61/2 years when I was diagnosed with alcohol related disease. Only symptoms were ascites and weight loss, about 3st. 8 litres were drained from abdomen at that time and I have never had any liquid build up since then. I am completely compensated

Letter from Heptologist
HelloI had a letter from the consultant to say my recent fibroscan results indicates no evidence of liver disease and they would be discharging me. I had had a BLT fibroscan back in spring which was almost 12 and my GP referred me to heptology. Sadly during this appointment last month I never actually

Change in body shape post transplant
I am now 10m post transplant, and all going well. Not perfect, but well. I find my body shape has changed a lot, I am much more bulky in my upper abdomen, above my navel to chest. I expected some swelling while my body got to terms with the new liver, but even after this time, I just seem so BIG

endoscopy
Hi all I was diagnosed a while ago with “possible borderline cirrhosis” through an ultrasound, blood tests and a fibroscan score of 20. The bloods are all normal and the consultant just says it’s hard to tell if I definitely have cirrhosis or not. My question is, I keep reading here that people are

Hi all!
Hi Just wanted to say hello to everyone. I have Inflammatory Bowel Disease (was told 3 years ago it was unclassified, they were leaning more towards Crohns at the time) Since the beginning of that diagnosis, I had high liver function test results which were very high during my IBD flare ups, things
