Understanding Portal Hypertension
Please can someone explain to me (in a really simple way), what Portal Hypertension is, what are the symptoms and why would I not be informed I have it (by Liver Consultant) when my Diabetic Consultant knows and, once again, nobody has considered it prudent to inform me. Dr Google does not explain

What dosage of calcium supplement is recommended when on prednisolone?
I'm on 7.5mg of prednisolone. At my rheumatologists appointment today I advised him that I wouldn't be taking up his recommendation of Alendronic Acid despite having a very small amount of osteoporosis in my lower lumber region. I advised him that I was taking Caltrate which has 600mg calcium/200 IU

Normal ALP at time of Diagnosis
Hello. I have had PBC for just over 3 years. I have always had a very normal ALP. I've read that one of the hallmarks of PBC is an elevated ALP. I have positive AMA and other elevated liver enzymes, now normal with urso. Can you explain why my ALP is normal? What does that indicate?

Just need some honest opinions
34 year old male, drinking since age 18. Pretty good shape, not overweight, pretty active, eating fairly healthy. Started drinking at parties and socially and went 2 + years in the span from 18-24 without drinking at all. Started drinking heavier (usually 4-5 drinks per night) around 2013-2014. Since

Odema and diuretics
I was diagnosed last September with ARLD and had a severe attack of HE that I almost didn't survive. I'm managing to control this with meds but my partner sees blips of HE now and then in my behaviour. My consultant has stopped my diuretic because it's effecting my liver and I've blown up like a balloon

Ast/alt elevated or not if ongoing damage not stopped
If someone has cirrhosis of the liver due from alcohol use would there ast and alt be elevated if they had cirrhosis and continued to drink alcohol ? That would be considered ongoing damage right?

Impending surgery concerns
Impending knee replacement and worried about impact anesthesia and post surgery pain killers could have on already level 3 liver disease. Has anyone undergone orthopedic surgery and how did it go? What I don’t want to happen is to get a new knee and then need liver transplant because of meds.

How are ones coping that are experiencing advanced fibrosis and cirrhosis?
Hi everyone, Stella here. I haven't posted a question for awhile. This particular question may be too personal for some to respond to. But, if you want to share please, please, do. I find myself now almost 5 years into my PBC diagnoses. How time flies. Doctor says I've had it unknowingly for many years

Anyway I booked referral via NHS appointment system and checked it today. It said if I hadn’t heard by May 4th to call them. I done this last
