US wording for cirrhosis
Dear all: I have a question to people who have had their US done and were diagnosed with cirrhosis. I am confused as mine says - mild-to-moderate hepatomegaly, echogenicity is wnl, no significant steatosis, mild surface nodularity in keeping with chronic liver disease. One doctor ruled out cirrhosis,

Then this weekend received

Caring for mam Post Liver Transplant
So nervous! My mam is in the operating theatre finally getting her #livertransplant It's been a rough few years (including dealing with the alcoholism). I can't believe it's actually happening. Anyone been a carer for liver failure then transplant? Just wondering how long should I expect to continue

Hyperreflexia
I would love to hear others' experience with hyperreflexia as result of PA. I have periods (often in the last days before my injection), when I get low-level random muscle twitches, mostly in my arms and back, then they subside. I have been found to be hyperreflexive in reflex tests since my PA diagnosis

and she mentioned possible connective tissue problems as my fingers and toes were blue too even though it was a warm room.

Cirrhosis and dealing with salt & sugar cravings
Hello, I have (3 mths ago) been officially confirmed by fibroscan & ultrasound with F4 Cirrhosis. Unknown to me, or not taking liver disease seriously, I have had pretty bad liver problems for at least 6 years. To be honest, I am still trying to get my mind around it. A few months ago, I was quite

Alt/AST ratio...
I still don’t know what this means exactly but out of curiosity I’ve done mine. I have alcoholic cirrhosis of the liver and my readings at my last blood test were... ALT 45 AST 34 Ratio 0.75 All within normal range(apparently).

Coping with what could have been
My husband has recently been very ill and had a liver transplant which is working wonderfully. I can't stop thinking about what could have happened if he had not had the transplant. He had sepsis in March and almost died and was going downhill fast just before his transplant. I'm driving myself crazy

AST/ALT Ratio
I am worried as my enzymes are now normal, but my ast is always higher than alt. Like 16 and 11. I read many people say that if the numbers are in range it does not mean cirrhosis. I have not had any scans since I originally had elevated enzymes many years ago. Keep keep saying it only matters if you

Inr/pt
Got a question because cannot get straight answers. Just say someone did have cirrhosis and was having easy bleeding and bruising your platelets would be low right? And your inr would be abnormal right? So with that being said if your platelets are normal your inr will be normal also meaning cirrhosis

Scared and Not Sleeping
Hi, On Wednesday I am seeing a gastro to check for liver damage. I was diagnosed with hypontremia (low sodium) and still not sure what is causing. I also have High B12 levels which can be indicative of liver problems. My bloodwork is normal, although on occasion my AST was a wee bit high. My last test
