Why don’t the medical team looking after me provide me with information on Cirrhosis?
I feel like I’m be left in the dark! Why do I have to ask all the questions and try and do my own research? I understand everyone and case, symptoms are different from my own research but surely in the times we live in the consultant and or team should give patients a general knowledge on what may or

ultrasound
Hi everyone. I was diagnosed with cirrhosis over 2 years ago due to hep C, which has now been treated. I’m puzzled over the results of my last 2 ultrasounds. The one a year ago said “liver normal” and the next one in December 22 said indicative of fatty liver! No mention of cirrosis. While I would be

some good news
I was diagnosed with liver cancer with 2 tumours, one measuring 3 1/2 cm, in June of last year. The oncologists said I would do well to have two years but with a treatment called TACE I am now cancer free. I do have cirrhosis which they say is the reason that I have the liver cancer, I also have varises

Contraceptive pill
I’ve recently been prescribed onto this pill to regulate mood swings and periods. Does anyone know if you can take cod liver oil pills and multivitamins along side? Thank!

NHS Blood and Transplant are seeking the views of patients on living donor liver transplantation
Living donor liver transplantation emerged across the world in the early 1990s in response to the shortfall in available donor organs for patients in need of a liver transplantation. Since 1998, paediatric centres in the UK have been offering living donor transplantation for children on the active waiting

successful PIP claim (higher) and what we did
Hi, thanks so much to everyone here who offered advice on how to claim for PIP. We have heard today my partner has been awarded the higher amount for both living and mobility and this has been approved without a physical assessment OR a phone call. This is what we did in case it helps anyone. FYI

New to this group & Newly Diagnosed with HCC.
I just wanted to say hello to the group. My bio describes what I have been going through. My Budd Chiari Syndrome diagnosis really helped understand my reason for suffering with cirrhosis and decompensated liver. I am not a drinker and have been thoroughly tested for genetic disorders. When I was 19

Finally got a diagnosis in writing
HiFinally got a diagnosis in plain medical language, not 'on the cusp of cirrhosis' or a broad statement of steatosis. Liver stiffness of 8.8 kpa Cap of 329...This demonstrates F2 fibrosis and fatty liver disease. Mr R is aware of the lifestyle modifications...to address the quantity of fat situated

Friend has high LFTs
Hi, My friend has high AST (150), ALT (115) and GGT (415). Thry have high blood pressure too. They've stopped drinking alcohol but are now terrified to go to the doctor and get scan results and want to ignore it. Will this definitely be bad news?
