Kidney issues post liver transplant
Hi I'm 1 year post liver transplant, but my kidneys seem to be taking a hit. My GFR is reducing at each blood test. It is now 39 and drops by about 5 every time. They've not said if it's now CKD but I'm worried as the internet says 39 is stage 3B. They have reduced my tacrolimus to 1mg twice daily,

Advice needed - deranged lfts
I’ve had deranged lfts for a few years but my recent results led my GP to do a full liver screen with auto antibodies and hepatitis panel. This was all negative. My abdominal ultrasound was also completely normal with no evidence of fatty liver or gallstones. My ALT was 191, ALP was 175 and GGT was

Ultrasound of liver....sit upright for last part of scan
As the title says in for my yearly US of liver. Usually i go for the scan and lay on my back and both sides while scan is done. This time, at the end, i was asked to sit upright off the side of the bed while my sonographer scanned the liver area, while i sat there. Does anyone know the reason for scanning

Is a Fibroscan more accurate than ultrasound?
Hi, I'm new here and this is my first post. I wish I'd found this site and forum years ago! I was diagnosed with PBC eight years ago and have been taking Ursodiol ever since. A Fibroscan showed cirrhosis at that time with a reading of 35 kPa. I had scans every two years since then until my last reading

Newly diagnosed with Hep C
Hello guys.. I went for a routine blood test around 8 weeks ago which showed raised ALT. Repeat tests showed raised ALT as well (110). Had a USG 4 weeks ago which came back normal. Further blood tests showed active Hepatitis C. I had a call from GP today with the results and was told I have been referred

How to encourage someone to seek medical support (who has turned their back on this due to prior negative experience with consultant)
Hi, I'm hoping that someone can point me in the direction of a positive source of support for someone who has turned their back on formal medical support because on a negative experience with consultant. They were hospitalised with liver failure back in 2011 and formally diagnosed with cirrhosis. There

SIBO and Elevated Liver Enzymes
I have had gastro issues the last two months after using a proton pump inhibitor in May and was finally diagnosed with SIBO on Monday. My GI started me on Rifaximin and Neomycin last night. She did a liver function panel test before I started on the antibiotics and the AST was 52 and the ALT was 73.

Help with payment's
Hi, thanks for letting me join your group, I have a query, I was diagnosed with Hepatitis C back in December last year, but we've found I contracted it back in 1979 when I was given contaminated blood after a transfusion. I have received stage 1 payments but think it should be back dated to April 2016

'Healthy' supplements are causing a rise in liver injuries - what to avoid
(I have taken this information from a Daily Express article – This is for information only) ACCORDING to new research, cases of severe liver injury linked to products claiming to promote muscle growth or weight loss are rising, with some severe cases leading to patients requiring liver transplants.

Fibroscan
Hi, just wondering if anyone has had normal bloods and ultrasound but then an abnormal fibroscan (I'm going to request one). I made some mistakes in my original post - my platelets are actually high at 407, and my AST/ALT wasn't inverted - it's currently ALT 23, AST 17, GGT 16 (GGT was 24 in April).

How much trouble am I in?
Hello all, First time posting, fairly certain I know the answer, but want to pool the wealth of knowledge you all have. I was diagnosed with NAFLD a few years ago and like an idiot I mostly ignored it based on the response from my Docs stating it’s simple fatty liver just diet and exercise and you

Ast/alt ratio. Inr
Got a question because this is a confusing topic. I have another post on this site also. But I read if your inr is elevated your platelets will be low. And if your platelets are normal your inr is normal. And another question is about Ast and alt ratio. I do drink alcohol. But I read if ast and alt

Ast/alt ratio
Got a question about Ast alt ratio. There is a lot of confusion on the internet saying that if ast/alt ratio is over 1-2 even with normal ast and alt values you have liver damage. My question is does ratio even matter if Ast and alt are normal?
