AST/ALT Ratio
I've just joined as I've been worrying myself sick with online data regarding AST/ALT ratio. My liver function test results came back within range but when I use the ratio calculator it says I have liver cerrhosis or chronic hepatitis. Thanks for any help.

Effects of medications
I was diagnosed with PD about a year ago. I am of course interested in anything that is neuroprotective. I was told that only exercise is so I do that. Some believe that nicotine is so I have been on nicotine gum for several months. So far I have not noticed progression. My primary symptom is weakness

all aspects of liver research
In the article that was posted below, I know this is not something many of us want to face at anytime in our PBC journey. This is, however, a reality for some of us who did progress to this point in our disease. I have to find some real hope that researchers are working on all aspects of PBC. There are

Travel
My husband has decompensated alcohol related liver disease with ascites, abstinent for 7 months. We would like to get to Germany to see his family for a month in our motorhome and wondered if a) anyone has travelled abroad with this condition and b) if anyone has experience of the insurance companies

Earlier today I posted the link to the PBC Foundaton's Urso calculator. There are so many posts and questions relating to Urso that I thought it was important for everyone to make sure they are on the right dose. This 'calculator' is also available on the PBC app. Knowing you are taking the right dose

URSO and Fatigue
Question about URSO….is it really better to take your dose at two different times? I read that the liver works the bile through your body more while you are sleeping. I am much better at remembering by medication in the morning, as sometimes I am not home at dinner time. Is it ok to take it all at

Fibroscan
Hi, I've posted asking this before, but unfortunately didn't get any response. I'm wondering if anyone can tell me where I can get a private Fibroscan? I'm in the UK. I have been referred to Hepatology due to the surgeon seeing "extensive fibrotic changes" of my liver during gallbladder surgery back

Liver Results - Noone can tell me whats normal
Hi All, I'm generally very healthy (lots of exercise) although since I was approx 23 (I'm now 57) my GGT levels have been elevated to between 58-88. This concerned me a little (didn't really concern my Doc) although my ALT's & AST's have always been within normal range. I do drink quite a bit...but

Diagnosed with Non Alcohol Cirrhosis
Hi everyone, I was recently diagnosed with stage 2 non alcoholic cirrhosis and am having a lot trouble accepting my diagnosis. It could be because my dad died of alcohol cirrhosis 21 years ago and I know how bad it can get. I have very few symptoms right now and am just being monitored. I know my prognosis
