please let me hear your positive stories re going from decompensated to compensated
My partner was diagnosed with cirrhosis in Dec and underwent a medical detox from alcohol. He was very poorly and remained in hospital for 3 weeks. Since then he has been eating well and not drinking. His bilirubin has come down from 256 to 60 and his blood platelets look good at 160. The doctors

From what I've been told by medical professions, they either make my liver disease seem very serious or no big deal. Anyone else?
My GP incorrectly diagnosed me with cirrhosis. I went to see a liver specialist who told me I had non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, not cirrhosis. I'm angry that I was incorrectly diagnosed, but I'm glad it's not the former. I have lots of mixed feelings. I know I need to lose weight (currently over

My story
I haven’t been on in awhile but wanted to update everyone. My liver specialist from the liver institute Methodist hospital told me this morning was our last visit unless I needed him again. I retired from ER nursing in 2017 bc I was diagnosed with pbc and possibly nrh according to the pathology report

Wondering if anyone can give me any information. My 21 year old daughter with AIH has had a transplant 5 years ago through negligence which I won't go into it's a real long story. Seeing as she was misdiagnosed the need for transplant was an emergency which in turn caused mental health issues. We have

So, what is it? NAFLD, Fibrosis or NA Cirrhosis?
Hi everyone, so I had a biopsy in December last year and the results weren't great. My letter from the consultant at the hospital said that I scored a 5 out of 6, where zero is an absence of fibrosis through to six, which is likely or definite cirrhosis (this is using the Ishak scoring system), which

Some good news
Well had my 12 month follow up yesterday. I posted a little while ago because I was a bit anxious about it. I feel well, but was a bit worried there may be something lurking that I’d overlooked.

Association Between Anxiety and Depression and Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
As some of you know, I often like to share information about liver disease. I have found that the more I learn and understand, the easier it is to accept and deal with certain situations if I happen to understand what is causing them. For example, if a person was suffering from depression, knowing the

Liver problems and INR
Hi Everybody, hope you all having a nice day. Maybe if you read some posts of me before I sometimes doubted my diagnose for Liver Cirrhoses. The diagnose was over 2 years ago, but still things are just not adding up for me. Yesterday I watched a video again, where they give 14 signs of liver cirrhosis

Best Liver scan after Fibrascan..
For the past 2 years, have had a progressing NAFLD, despite changing diet, exercise, no sugars, drinks, losing weight etc etc. My bloods ie LFT's all seem well within range. I had expected my KPA score to go down over 2 years, but it seems to be going in the other direction. Consultant seems to think

Are red palms always a sign of cirrhosis?
Hi all, Am a 27 year old and have drunk very heavily for the past four years - albeit with occasional periods off. I recently developed red hot patches on my hands and they can be quite painful when I get stressed and sweat. They are also very stiff. Am very terrified I have cirrhosis and have a doctors

Ama positive negative m2
Hi, I am male and have recently received a positive ama, but negative for ama-m2. I had the tests due to elevated AST after taking allouprinol. ALP is normal. I have been referred to a specialist and I am waiting on some tests. I understand ama-m2 is specific to PBC, but what's the likely outcome for

Hi, I'm sorry, I only seem to post when I'm in crisis.. Long story short, my shearwave elastography was 1.57cm/s which they said was F0/F1 & they didn't see any evidence of portal hypertension on the doppler ultrasound. Spleen was 9cm.

Omicron subvariants: New study gives Evusheld and Sotrovimab the thumbs-up
An in vitro study of several antibody therapies by Japanese researchers found diminished neutralisation of the Omicron variant and particularly of the BA.2 subvariant. Now a study at Washington University indicates that Evusheld and Sotrovimab both retain neutralising activity, while reducing viral load
