This is a protein made by the liver, the level of which is measured as a part of your liver function tests. The albumin plays 2 important parts: 1. It carries molecules in the blood that are not water soluable. When bound to albumin, the molecule becomes water

Can I take him on holiday?
My partner has decompensated cirrhosis - and is currently in hospital with hyponatremia. He suffers from anxiety and finds it hard to eat - except for Ensure, which seems to be keeping him going. We hope his condition will stabilise soon though. He very much wants to go on holiday and I think that

in the United States. Knowing how to read the labels on prescriptions and over-the-counter medicines is an important step in making sure that you use medicines safely.

Liver transplant vs kidney transplant
For those who have had both, could you let me know if one was "better" or "worse" than the other? I had my liver transplant Sept 22, and though initially recovering well, had a bout of CMV which went on for a long time, and over the last year struggling with poor kidney function, which is currently

Reiki
does anyone know if Reiki works on liver disease , especially for cirrhosis which I’ve been diagnosed with 😩? I have read Reiki does but was hoping to get it clarified. Does Crohn’s affect the liver too?? Thank you all.

Decompensated liver
good morning, following on from my post a few weeks ago about my brother, a couple of weeks after I posted he was admitted into hospital again with fluid in the lungs, kept on critical care for a couple of weeks on a chest drain, It was decided by the doctors that the chest drain was serving no purpose

possible hep c infection
I wonder if anyone can advise me please. My wonderful 76 year old mum was given a blood transfusion after the birth of me 48 years ago. Over the years her blood test has shown slightly elevated bilirubin but no further action was taken, I think we hoped it would be Gilbert’s syndrome. I know she knows

The effect of a B complex on raised liver enzymes with discomfort/pain
As mad as it sounds, every time I re start a B complex the liver pain returns I’ve had mildly raised liver enzymes with early morning liver discomfort, every single day for years but recently both have worsened and the discomfort became actual pain. However, on rising, the pain dissipates immediately

looking for a neurologist
Can anyone recommend a neurologist knowledgeable in RLS in the Bristol/ Bath (England) area ? I currently have a neurologist whom I rate quite highly but who cannot prescribe opioids as they are not on the formulary of the hospital where she practises. She has however asked my GP to prescribe Oxycodone

Gabapentin and liver resection
The help I have been given from this forum has been invaluable, I don't know where I would be without it. I have weaned myself off of Pramipexole and am now using Gabapentin, I don't think I have suffered anything like some of the other members. My question is, I need to up the dose, I am taking 1 x

Beta blockers
I'm 68, female with NASH/ Cirrhosis which is compensated. I have recently been prescribed 1.25 mg of Bisoprolol Fumarate (beta blocker) but I'm so anxious about taking it as my GP seemed unsure about any effect on my liver. I was wondering if any members take beta blockers with no ill effects? I'm also
