FIB4/APRI Scores
Hi All, Bit of background: Had a fibroscan 3.5 years ago after some history of raised AST and ALT (AST was usually around 40 and ALT around 57). Ultrasound had shown mild fatty liver and ALT had gone up to 120. Fibroscan score was 5.3 kpa with cap score of 255. Advice given was keep trying

alcohol and ggt
hello everyone (: Im new here. I’m a female, 32 years. I am an alcoholic and have been drinking pretty much everyday for the past 6 years. 8-12 units for the past couple of years. I was at the doctor a couple of days ago to get some bloodwork done. And I’m really freaking out! My leukocytes are

I've had it confirmed. I've got HCC.
So following on from my previous posts, I've been told the images on the MRI have shown HCC. It's currently a single, small but treatable area. I already have a shunt (my 2nd one) and I'm already in a transplant clinic for monitoring but not on the list or had assessment. My consultant has said when

so confused and scared
hi there I don’t know if anyone can offer any help as I’m completely confused. Four years ago I had just a routine blood test and my liver function tests were through the roof. I had a liver biopsy which came back as clear so my gastro doc said it’s NAFLD and to lose a bit of weight and that was it.

normal ultrasound/raised GGT
As in my previous post my GGT was over 200 recently, My GP said to cut out alcohol and get it checked in 12 weeks, as I had pain on my right side he requested an ultrasound scan. I got fed up waiting so I've just paid for one this morning in a private scan clinic as I was worrying about my liver health

compensated question
Saw one of my consultants doctors last week who felt on examination that ascities was gone. I asked him does that mean I’m compensated and he said I could be. He sent me for an ultrasound and the results were good apart from the usual cirrhosis scarring and gallstones. Trace fluid also which he said

Starting treatment soon.
First of all, I'm hep c positive, diagnosed decades ago. Everything has been 'good' until recently. I had some bloodwork done about a month ago. My liver enzymes spiked (they've always been good), so my GI doctor ordered a fibroscan. The result was a 13, so I was diagnosed as F3 via the scan. Since

E.D. with cirrhosis
Do any men here take E.D. medication who have cirrhosis? If so, what meds, what stage cirrhosis? Experience and advice please.Is tadalafil (Cialis) less harsh on the liver than sildenafil (Viagra)? Other options? Of course I won't take anything without being given by my doctor.

Statins and Fatty Liver
Can anyone give me some advice. I’ve been put on a statin for my cholesterol. My G.P then said we will do a blood test in two months to make sure it’s not effecting my liver. As someone with fatty liver (unsure if I still have it) and lots of health anxiety around my liver I’m worried.

liver test results
I have not drank alcohol for 5 months now, managed to loss some weight. Had a US scan nov 22 and also back in 2016 both diagnosed a fatty liver. Blood results were doing down slowly but last test, last week GGT & alp went up. I have had flu last week .. do you think this could affect the liver function

Im obviously worried but now more so that the methods

#totallyconfused - flying with varices but no endoscopy planned for 12 months time
My partner has been through so many tests since end of March ‘23. He has been diagnosed with Cirrhosis Child-Pugh scoring A. Consultant now deciding on treatment for hepatitis strain which caused this. It’s not alcohol or fatty liver cause and he is at lower end BMI for his height and is abstinent

Is this a serious warning sign?
Hi, just want some advice really as not sure what to do. My partner had Alcoholic Hepatitis just over 2 years ago and has continued to drink in excess of 10 beers a day. In the last few days the whites of his eyes have turned yellow and he has black poo. He has lost a lot of weight and doesn't eat
