just wondering
just wondering If Cirrhosis secondary to NASH with portal hypertension is de compensated or compensated I understand that varices and Ascites are normally present with de compensated but does having the portal hypertension make a difference ?

Gentle liver flush - any benefits?
Hi All I've been reading about the link between hypothyroid and liver. I have decided to do a gentle detox. This involves castor oil on a cloth and a hot water bottle and lying it on the liver region for about 45 minutes. I've do it two days in a row. I just wondered if anyone else has done this and

AST/ALT Ratio
Hi everyone, I hope all is well. I recently got Bloodwork done after several years not getting Bloodwork. In the past, I drank a lot in college (I'm a 31 year old male, 200 pounds, 5' 11). All bloodwork looked fine. I always pay attention to the AST/ALT numbers due to my past heavy drinking history

How to help my husband
My husband was diagnosed with alcohol related cirrhosis of the liver a couple of years ago. He has been a heavy lager drinker for many years and this has caused a terrible strain on our marriage. He has always refused to stop drinking. Even after his diagnosis, he continues to drink. His view point

Cirrhosis lifespan
I talked to my Liver consultant yesterday she said how long is a piece of string I was diagnosed 2 months ago with a KPA of 28.1 Fibro scan of which I am getting a second opinion as it seems rather high and ultra sound only showed smooth fatty liver

Is there anyone out there who's gone through this before??? Please help...
This is my second time posting on here, but my first post since my liver biopsy. They took five pieces of my liver from different parts and there was no disease or fibrosis found. This is after four fibroscans showing f zero fibrosis, two ct scans showing normal organs, multiple normal bloodwork results

What I’m finding hard to understand my husband was diagnosed in August with compensated cirrhosis, gave up alcohol straight away, was good until about a month ago then he got admitted to hospital with acites and jaundice, he’s been eating all the right foods fresh meals cooked from scratch, why do people

Struggling with life
I have posted a few times lately, but myself and my partner are struggling. After feeling absolutely crap with ascites and sickness, for the first time since being diagnosed last December, my partner can only focus on the bad. He's such a lovely man, happy, funny. We have loved each other fiercely for

In the depths of health anxiety yet again…
I’m 67, and I’ve suffered from severe health anxiety for most of my adult life - and that could qualify for a post in its own right - but as I’m also someone who likes to drink alcohol, too, I thought I’d post on here. I stopped drinking completely at one time, albeit only for a short while, and

What do you suggest?
An update - hubby readmitted to hospital just over 3 weeks ago, which was only 4 weeks after previous admission.Getting any information from the medical team is a nightmare: I don't know if he's seen a liver consultant or nurse. I gather the kidneys have improved, the albumin infusions have stopped,

Very worried about initial blood test result for ALP
Hi, I have just heard from my Dr that I have elevated ALP levels in a blood test I had a couple of months ago to check my medication could still be prescribed (blood thinner & beta blocker). She asked me to have another test in a months time which was this week. I have phoned for results & have been

One year on
Thought I’d give a little update on my ARLD journey. After 1 year of initial Fibroscan results which were CAP score 316 and 28.9 kpa elastography score, which shattered my world as it wasn’t expected. My latest results after abstaining from alcohol, which I may say has been oh-so difficult after
