Liver Elastography compared to Ultrasound
I haven’t posted anything in awhile because I still don’t know exactly what is going on. Long story short, Liver enzymes were mildly elevated so my doctor ordered an ultrasound which showed fatty liver and nodular contour suggestive of cirrhosis. Finally got appointment with GI doctor that specializes

Vaccine hesitation
As some who has had a liver transplant and on immunosuppressants obviously and also having had a portal vein thrombosis I’m reluctant to have the covid19 vaccine As reported early on in this “pandemic” certain vaccines were and still are responsible for clotting, besides the clotting issue the fact

Horizant for RLS
Does anyone here have experience of taking Horizant for RLS? After taking oxycodone 5 mg for many years, I have developed serious insomnia, therefore I'd like to switch to non-opioid to relieve my RLS symptoms. I'd like to know if anyone here have tried Horizant and if it is effective to relieve RLS

Is it ok to not take steroids for autoimmune hepatitis when you liver enzymes are only AST 71 and ALT 111? Is there a natural way to treat this disease?

1yr 3 months Sober but still Scared
I’m a 38 year older female that has always been thin and in shape. I started heavily drinking around the age of 24. It started off slowly. Bartending and waitressing was my occupation of choice back then. Mostly because you were almost encouraged to drink while working at the places I worked. I took

liver Function test ratios and cirrhosis
Hi Im a little confused and cant find any real answers online. When they talk about AST/ ALT ratios, is that around raised liver enzymes. For example if your AST was 20 which is well in the normal range and ALT was 15 then if you put that into ratio calculations and up pops cirrhosis, or is that ratio

First question from a newbie, about fatty liver diagnosis and results.
Hi everyone. This is my first post here and hopefully it will be my last – no offense. I’ve been ghosting here for quite a while, and I’m very grateful to you all for what I’ve learned. Brief bio: I’m a 47-year old male. I’ve been an excessive binge drinker all my adult life, with drugs thrown in

The start of the journey?
Having spent almost 2 years going backwards and forwards to my doc, telling him I don't feel at all well, I finally threw up blood. I took myself off to hospital and have been told i have scarring on my liver. I'm a bit at a loss as to what happens next, as i seem to have been given this info and cast

Test results
Hi there, a little follow up from my last post, si my bloods came back normal and the receptionist said my Dr didn't want any follow up after my us scan so she said it's probably normal , should I book an appointment with the Dr to discuss this? I'm also on Spironolactone tablets for fluid in my stomach

When is Ggt satisfactory not satisfactory
My dr said upon questioning how can bloods be satisfactory if they are the same that they have been consistent. True Then she said retest in a year. I said no not satisfactory to me. 3 months then well what’s the point of the blood tests if nothing is done about results. So then she asks if I had been

Autumn Budget 2021 - Alcohol Missed Opportunity
Once again another great win for the Brewery industry in the Chancellor's (Rishi Sunak is a teetotal) autumn budget. This isn’t a political statement here, but an observation of just how powerful the brewing industry is. The voices of the “Alcohol Health Alliance” have been totally ignored. The NHS

No stent extra meds
After having a cardiology angiogram last I was told then by the cardiologist that I would need a stent but he would speak to colleagues. Then I got a letter to say I’m staying on my meds plus statin’s and aspirin. My finding were “Access was via the right radial artery. Results showed mild ascending

The "Sally Painting Story"
For many people, the name Sally Painting may be unknown. But Sally was an inspiration for so many people. She was the first-ever liver transplant patient to later become a nurse. She even worked on the same liver ward at the QE Hospital, Birmingham where she was once a patient. At the age of 13, Sally

Fibroscan shows fatty liver
Hi, had my Fibroscan today. I was diagnosed with Primary Biliary Cholangitis 6 months ago, my scan said I had slight fatty liver damage and the other reading was 5.8 so in normal range. I presumed the scan would've picked up damage from PBC not fatty liver. Does this mean I don't have PBC? I've to wait
