CAP score and kPa
Hi allCan anyone shed light on the following please? I had a fibroscan in early May, following a series of irregular blood results. My GP described them as elevated but unremarkable. In mid July, having chased the result for weeks, a doctor rang me to say that I would need to be treated as a patient

Liver pain?
I was diagnosed with compensated liver cirrhosis 7 weeks ago. My blood work and ultrasound look ok. I have been having these sharp pains in my liver area and sometimes on my left side also. It only lasts 10 seconds or so. My specialist says its not a symptom of cirrhosis. She says it could be stress

liver transplant in August 2021
My age is 46 I had a liver transplant in August 2021, but since the liver transplant, my health has not been going well, which means I have been experiencing pain in the whole body. Itching on the body which is cured by taking medicine. Abdominal swelling and a little more walking can increase severe

Does anyone else have weird dreams ?
MY partner is experiencing weird dreams at night. Leaving him tired out and anxious. Not sure if this all part of the decompressed liver disease or medications or abstaining from alcohol? Is this normal?

First, I should be upfront and say I have not yet, if ever, been diagnosed with cirrhosis. My most recent ultrasoubd if my liver, in December 2023, only said "The liver is normal in size and homogeneous. There is a mild increase in echogenicity consistent with stage 1 steatosis. There has been no

Cirrhosis Diet and eggs.
Hi Everyone. I have a quick question. I realise eggs are a very good protein source, and that we're supposed to eat a lot of protein with cirrhosis [I'm not sure why though - I'm still relatively new to this]. I've read some sites that say to limit eggs to 3 to 4 a week as they put a lot of stress on

Transplanted liver now in trouble?
Hi All My husband had a liver transplant in 2017 and has been mostly well since. He had NASH cirrhosis and liver cancer. He had a set of bloods on Monday unrelated to his liver but his liver function was tested. We were called the next day as ther were some surprising results which have worried him

first time on here
Hi! I am a 35 year old female. I was diagnosed officially with PBC at age 25. At this point in life I had a biopsy and found out I was already stage 2-3 fibrosis. Jumping forward ten years later I am now at the last stage and officially at cirrhosis. I have many symptoms now caused by the cirrhosis.

High ALT and Bilirubin and worried
my ‘urgent blood’ tests have come back and I am stressed to pieces as following my ultrasound I was told I had a fatty liver. My LFTs were all normal apart from my ALT which was 45 and needed to be less than 33, and Serum Bilirubin which was 27 and should be less than 21. Both readings end of March

ELF test
hi all, If you see my previous liver posts I’ve had varying fibroscan scores, mostly overestimated because of my BMI. Lost a ton of weight and got it down to 7.2-7.5. Had another recently after regaining most of the weight and the score is up to 10KPA. Had an ultrasound in March this year and liver
