AIH Liver pain
Hi TG123 I was diagnosed approx 12 years ago As my LFT/readings came down I was taken off of Prednisalone and moved over to Budisonide too From memory I experienced quite a lot of pain/discomfort in the liver area, I was advised that this was probably to do with the liver both eating the dead cells

Just Can't Wait
People with cirrhosis, and end-stage liver disease have to take certain medication to help control their condition. While Lactulose may help prevent further damage, it can be a cause of alot of embarrassment for some people as they may find that the need to go to the toilet more frequently. This can

Is pain normal/ok?
I have AIH and am on budesonide and azathioprine. This week I’ve been getting some pain in my liver is that normal or should I be calling my doctor? I’m pretty newly diagnosed so not sure what’s normal or not just yet. Any advice would be great

Liver pain AFTER giving up alcohol
Hi all - wonder if someone could advise please? I gave up alcohol at Christmas after years of binge drinking. Strange thing is I now have upper right quadrant liver pain (dull ache) that wasn't there before. Sometimes but not always it radiates to my back. It's worse when I bend forward or reach up.

If the dr doesn’t see fatty liver on scan then is it still fatty liver?
I’ve been through a decent amount of tests endoscopy ct scan and many ultrasound scans and a hida scan nothing has shown anything abnormal with my liver. But when I take any type of meds which I’m on Prozac it goes up. When off meds my enzymes are ok. They stay in the mild elevated range. Cholesterol

Hepatic Encephalopathy with F1 Fibrosis?
Hi, is it possible to experience Hepatic Encephalopathy with F1 Fibrosis? Here's my backstory.. I'm ashamed to admit I was a daily drinker for approx 20 years (I'm now in my mid forties) as I used it to self-medicate to help with anxiety (terrible idea I know). I must have been averaging around 80 units

Cystic Fibrosis - Functional Bile Duct Cells Generated From Stem Cells
A condition that is rarely mentioned here is Cystic Fibrosis. This may be due to fact that Cystic Fibrosis is considered to be a lung condition, but CF can cause the blockage of small ducts in the liver leading to CF-related liver disease. Liver disease in people with CF can be related to problems with

January 2022, will be five years that my liver enzymes elevated. January 2017 was a trying time for me. I started college September 2020. I was very surprised to pass my math class with an A. Pre-algebra that ended with algebra. May I ask how my 5 year aih/pbc friends are doing health wise? I’m working
