I need help
Hello, I need some advise. I have alcohol related liver disease,. I was told on Feb 2019. I was told be the liver nurse if I stopped drinking and started again my liver wouldn't take it. Stupidly a few weeks later I went for a drink after a split with my partner. Not realising the consequences. Then

He continues to make slow improvements. Good days then bad days. He has been confused at times but that is improving slowly too. He is able to walk into the kitchen and bathroom using his walker. Eating small meals and generally more conversational. I saw my GP and he stated that my husband is still

Fatty Liver and Low White Blood Cell Count
Had a Gallstone attack back in 2007 that led to my Gallbladder being removed. 2 months prior my blood tests showed elevated GGT (79 and 97) and Bilirubin (26 and 23). All other LFTs normal. 2008 I was then diagnosed with Fatty Liver. GGT 112, Bilirubin 22 and ALT now elevated to 52. It’s been a struggle

How long for FIB4 results?
I had my most recent bloods on 31 October. All function tests came back within normal range, though Gamma GT high. I am still waiting on results of the FIB-4 test. Does it always take ages to come back from the lab? Without the FIB 4 result I have no idea what/if any fibrosis is present in my liver

Now Im 27y male and for the past two years I was literally addicted to alcohol and consumed alcohol almost everyday. At first

Very new and very confused
Hi there. Hubby has been a drinker for years and it appears that it has all caught up with him. He had his 5 year MOT back in August and was prescribed Folate, B12 compound and Thiamine but no info was given during his telephone consultation. About 3 weeks ago, I noticed his eyes were a bit yellowy

Constipation ....
Sooooo, while there are some things which are considered "unmentionable", they are often the things where a chat can be very helpful. Many of us are on heavy pain medications, most of which cause constipation. Personally, I can go eight days and end up with nausea and stomach pain. Yes, I have tried

Fibroscan
Have been diagnosed with fatty liver disease through ultrascan, but cannot get fibroscan on NHS because blood tests are normal. Any advice please? Prepared to go private but does not seem available in Nottingham area.
