Acute Liver Failure Diagnosis
On Tuesday, I finally received the long awaited Truqap. I was told to hold off beginning treatment and to bring the medicine to the oncologist's off on Thursday. The oncologist took one look at me and dropped her jaw in awe of my yellow skin color, which I could not see, then shipped me off to the

my mum - end stage liver failure
The hospital told me on Friday that this is part of end stage
liver
failure
, but we weren’t aware she had that. They apologised but said a doctor needs to discuss it further. Since then there hasn’t been a doctor available over the weekend to talk to us and we are left in limbo and very worried.

Disability information
For those with advanced stage PBC, a liver transplant may be an option and has proven effective at extending life expectancies for those experiencing
liver
failure
. However, recurrence is a possibility post-surgically.

liver transplant : build up
I’m 37 and have
liver
failure
. I went to see my consultant in Belfast a few weeks ago and was my doctor when I attended Antrim hospital hospital. She was extremely direct and blunt with myself. She said my score is is high but didn’t tell me the range.

Alchoholic liver failure
My 55 year old brother has been diagnosed with alcoholic
liver
failure
and we are at our wits end. He has been an inpatient for 10 days and the communication has been awful. Since he was admitted his condition has gone downhill.

Hepatologist called my liver 'recompensated'
I've not had any alcohol in three and half years, since I suffered a
liver
failure
, yellow skin, fainting, loss of energy, the whole thing. Great care and modern meds brought me back.

They’ve been really awful, insensitive, some of the nurses don’t seem to understand much about
liver
failure
or the complication and the assessment process itself has not been completed properly.

Can anyone help interpret my ECHO please?
This is my ECHO report. It was followed by a letter from cardiology to the GP saying that the findings are consistent with HFpEF and that treatment should start with diuretics. However, the GP (trainee) who rang to give me the results said that I was at high risk of heart failure and should go back if

Is AF life threatening or not?
When l was diagnosed with AF., six years ago, my Cardiologist, at that time, told me that AF was not life threatening. I have always used this information as a coping mechanism when l have an episode. It keeps me calm and lessens the severity of the symptoms. I have, on occasions, passed this information

Bisoprolol
HiOn 1.25mg bisoprolol for heart failure also have LVSD, AFib and had AV node ablation and pacemaker. My pacemaker is set 70bpm hr so doesn't really go any higher than this and I believe the purpose of bisoprolol is to lower heart rate, so the question is why do I need bisoprolol when my heart rate is
