HE and Variceal Bleed
I last posted 2 years ago after being concerned for my mom and her drinking. She was diagnosed with cirrhosis and has now been alcohol free for just over 2 years. She has had 2 variceal bleeds in the last 4 months, both times being found by her partner covered in blood and within a few weeks of seeing

Ammonia Level
Hello! I am writing to ask about ammonia level 104. My family member has cirrhosis and previous Hep C. Currently they are in the hospital due to elevated ammonia levels. When the ammonia level rises it causes extreme impairment and lethargy. Two weeks ago they had scan of liver and it came back nothing

Confused and stressed
Had an appointment with liver nurse last night after the beta blockers fiasco last week! She had spoken to the specialist whom l still have yet to meet and said they are not an option for my varices suggested l undertake a soft food diet. Feeling bolder about asking questions l said what is that. She

Spider Nevi
Former drinker. So I have noticed some red blemishes on my upper back. They are small but are not going away. I can't really see any blood vessels branching out from the blemish. Does spider nevi due to cirrhosis usually occur on the back? I have about three of them. I had slightly high liver enzymes

primary billiary cirrhosis and blood tests
Hi Wondered if anyone could answer this question for me. I’ve been diagnosed with primary billary cirrhosis. Is that different to any other type of cirrhosis or is that the same ? I’m wondering if this is why they have prescribed me URSO acid. thank you

Endoscopy surprise
I had my surveillance endoscopy today. I was diagnosed with cirrhosis in March 21. I was seriously ill with a deep rooted infection which had tipped my liver into acute on chronic liver failure. They diagnosed cirrhosis and advised me to change my lifestyle or I wouldn’t be around much longer…and very

varices
I would like to thank all the people who replied the variety of experiences made me do more research and I found that Carvedilol and omeprazole are just as effective as banding, however I will ask for a further Gastroscopy in a year or two. As I’ve had a serious bleed before probably over reacted. Once

Lump on Liver
Hi again, I was discharged after my transplant assessment as I was not ill enough yet to go on the list. I have a decompensated liver, crohns disease and diabetes. On a routine ultrasound last week they noticed a lump in my liver and referred it as urgent to my specialist. I have chased a few days

new liver dr

I wanted to pass along some of his information. he said liver inflammation starts when numbers hit 150 for ALT or AST he believes I have a condition that causes intermittent elevated liver enzymes but since mine are only at 35 and

Fatty Liver
Hello everyone. A haematologist rang me yesterday and said I have a macrocytosis with no anaemia. My red blood cells are too large. She wants further blood tests and a liver scan. She mentioned fatty liver. I am concerned as I already have a liver enzyme not working now this. Appreciate any help. Thanks

Hepatologist called my liver 'recompensated'
On my last visit to clinic, my specialist said 'well done with your recompensated liver'. Anyone else had such a positive diagnosis said by their specialist? I haven't found it anywhere online. I've not had any alcohol in three and half years, since I suffered a liver failure, yellow skin, fainting,

Binge Drinking with mild fatty liver leading to RUQ discomfort and nausea - help!
I posted 2 months ago in relation to being a very heavy drinker who had tried to become sober after an ultrasound showed mild fatty infiltration which was reversible earlier this year but I then lapsed and was terrified of having caused further damage. I was lucky to have a blood tests and an ultrasound

Liver enzymes continue to rise
Good day to all. I am new to this very informative sight and appreciate any comments. Firstly I am a former heavy drinker in my early 60’s who completely quit alcohol one year ago. In this year time frame my ALT/AST numbers have doubled from 68/50 to 118/82 and my GGT has gone up from 183 to 233. Every
