Spirolactone
Good evening I have been taken off my spirolactone and I'm frightened ascites will return. I have been on them for 2 yrs and my ascites have never returned but now I'm frightened constantly checking my ankles legs and weight. My liver is doing OK and I'm now well Compensated. Has anyone got any positive

Do my eyes still look jaundiced?
On the 21st of June I was diagnosed with Acute Liver Failure, I'm 23. Bilirubin was at a 12.1, AST 591, ALT 1103. Only symptom I had was Jaundice. I was released after 2 days because I wasn't getting any worse and they told me to give my liver time to heal itself. My eyes before this were completely

Fibrosis / ILD caused by Lupus
My wife and I visited the respiratory consultant on Wednesday. We were told that the CT scan of her lungs taken in 2018 showed a significant problem. The images of the lungs were grey when they should be black. She has been breathless for a number of years now but getting significantly worse. At last

Letter from Hep Consultant PBC
Hi received my letter from the consultant - Primary Biliary Cirrosis! instead of Primary Biliary Cholangitis. I was horrified to find the name changed in 2016 and not sure I have much faith in his approach. At no point does it mention Cholangitis, I have a Fib4 score of 5.34 no idea what that means.

How to tell if it's ascites
I was diagnosed with 3 c carsinosarcoma in Aug 2017, didn't have surgery, had 18 weekly chemo taxol/carbol. Chemo finished may 2018. Since then I have remained stable with 3 monthly scans and have been well. Lately I have not felt quite as well and am able to eat only very small amounts before feeling

Is it possible for the ALD to become full blown Cirrhosis , months after quitting alcohol? I have read here that people had fatty liver, quit alcohol and it progressed to cirrhosis in months or years.

Worrying
Hi I have been having multiple tests since having elevated liver enzymes GGT was >400 and ALT>200. I found out today that I also have smooth muscle antibodies does this mean it’s AIH? I’m waiting for a fibro scan appointment and also more blood results. I did phone the helpline and the lady was so helpful

Decompensated or Compensated? That is the question.
If you had ascites that is now medically controlled with diuretics and varices that have never bled. I was diagnosed as decompensated when I had ascites. But now the nurse puts on my blood test forms “compensated cirrhosis screen”. I know if I stop diuretics ascites will return so which is it?

Removed from transplant list
My partner has been removed from the transplant list as he started drinking again (he did have a warning first). Will they ever allow him back on it or is that game over? He drains 12 litres ascites fluid every week, he's been told to get his affairs in order, he has stopped drinking again (we had some

Drinking coffee may cut risk of chronic liver disease, study suggests
Over the years we have had some posts from members who were advised to, or somehow picked up the idea of, giving up coffee. At the same time, various levels of liver disorder are quite commonly posted - often slightly elevated liver enzymes, but sometimes more serious. Including fatty liver disease
