hi all, My GP isn’t the most proactive so I find I need to push a little at times. I’m looking here to see if I should be concerned and push my doctor for further testing? recently I had my yearly physical, and also had an ultrasound which showed fatty liver. Liver function tests were normal, but

Bruising, HE and Itching
I’m newly diagnosed with cirrhosis from NAFLD and trying to sort all this out. What causes bruising? I have normal platelets, albumin and INR. Why do I have bruises in odd places? They’re in areas where I know can’t be from bumping into something. Another thing I have is brain fog and insomnia,

Fibromyalgia help! Please
Hiya, I was wondering if anyone knows of anything that can help symptoms from fibromyalgia, anything that isn't hard medication, I have heard cod liver oil, tumeric and magnesium. I want to know any thoughts on this or anything else that people have found that works. Anything and information at all

Supplements - are they worth trying for liver disease?
Has anyone with fibrosis or cirrhosis had any improvement from supplements? Just wondering if it’s worth trying any natural supplements since there are no pharmaceuticals to treat cirrhosis.

update
just wanted to share the latest. You remember when I last posted I was going to Dallas for an mri/mre after a different hepatologist did a fibroscan and said stage 4 fibrosis. My regular hepatologist was in disagreement and sent me to Dallas. Radiology report said possible early cirrhosis. Scared me

Hangover
75 and been a lifelong social drinker but for 18 months averaged no more than 10 units per week as I couldn't take the hangovers. Now if I have more than 4 units alc at night I need to sleep most of next day. Is this due to liver not functioning.? I have regular blood tests and no liver, kidney or other

Worried about blood tests
Hi, I have had mildly elevated liver enzymes since 2019. I am female, 45, BMI 24.6 and I suffer from fibroids that cause me to have extremely heavy periods and I am often anaemic. I don’t drink or do drugs. High LFTs were first picked up during routine blood tests and my doctor said not to worry about

Anyone else have weird symptoms from cirrhosis?
Recently diagnosed with F3 fibrosis/cirrhosis. I do not yet have ascites, jaundice or esophageal bleeding, which I understand are the signs of decompensated liver. I do have extreme fatigue and weakness and dull pains in upper abdomen. I also have other weird pains everywhere. Pain in lower back, feet

Update on hubby
Partner had his colonoscopy today and they gave confirmed he has Bowel cancer now too. How this hasn't been picked up earlier after all tests he's had I really don't know! But how will this affect his liver? Nobody has mentioned his liver since the tumour was found, they were talking about referring

How are my levels back to normal?
I heard this can happen with advancing liver disease mainly cirrhosis for a short period of time liver enzymes return to normal do to the liver being unable to simply make the enzymes as much. A little background info im 33 I have been a daily drinker since 2017 of about 6-15 beers a night with

Ibrutinib and Hepatitis B
Hello, my 72yo dad was recently diagnosed and he’s supposed to start treatment with Ibrutinib today. He had HepB as a child and I know that is a major red flag. The doctor is not very transparent about the risks and we’re freaking out. Does anyone have experience and suggestions with this? Also what

A coarse liver?
I had an ultrasound liver scan - as my liver was damaged by taking azaphoprine that treated my ulcerative colitis. After liver biopsy They had diagnosed liver cirrhosis 4 months ago, but now ‘a coarse liver in keeping with chronic liver disease’ What does this mean? Do I still have liver cirrhosis

Advice for treatment of liver metastases.
Hi Ladies I finished chemo in February for second recurrence. Unfortunately my CA125 was rising, was 9 the 27 now 55 and it's a good indicator for me that something is happening. Had a CT and it shows one tumor 2.4cms in my liver. All clear otherwise. Lots of emotions. Disappointed but relieved it's

Non Alcoholic Liver Disease
I was diagnosed with Non Alcoholic Liver Disease Cirrhosis. Am I allowed to drink any type of alcohol or not. I’ve never been much of a drinker. Special Occasions Only. Normally I would drink WKD. Is that still okay to drink or should I stop altogether?

Dad has stage 4 cirrhosis
Hi everyone, I have recently found out my dad has stage 4 liver cirrhosis. He isn't eligle for a liver transplant the doctors said he wouldn't be a candidate ( I think this may be because he has COPD) . I'm just so heart broken and so is my Dad. I'm trying to understand what this means for him though.Can

Any alcohol?
hi all I’ve been diagnosed with NAFLD. I had a fibroscan which showed a reading of 20 so possible borderline cirrhosis. However my gastro consultant said he didnt feel this was entirely accurate and it’s maybe not progressed that far yet, please god. My question is, and I think I know the answer
