Heart Supplements
Hello, I'm currently on warfarin, omeprazole, amlodipine and valsartan. Besides trying to exercise and watch my diet, I'm thinking of consuming some heart supplements to strengthen my heart. Has anyone try anything good and can share? How about products from NatureFarm? Or any other supplements?

Healthy liver to Cirrhosis
Hello, approximately two years ago I was submitted to hospital with Jaundice after a binge drinking session. I was given an Ultrasound, and told that my results were “clear” and that my liver was normal sized and regular in outline. I was released the next day and given a prescription of Thymine .

Prescription drug induced Fibrosis
Hi. Wondering if anyone on here has had the above diagnosis. The drug involved was Nitrofuratan. The Consultant has told me the scarring will not heal.

care options for H.E and decompensated cirrhosis
Hey, hoping for some advice on care options for someone suffering with cirrhosis and H.E My dad was diagnosed this January, but clearly quite late on - he has since had 4 hospital admissions due to severe (stage 3) H.E and one time he went into coma (stage 4). This latest admission lasted 2 weeks

Coarsened Hepatic Echotexture
This finding is from the newest elastography. I thought I was doing everything right. KPA in 2022 was 10.5 F2-F.3, now it's 5.5 F0-F0-F1. I quit drinking alcohol in 2020, went on Mediterranean diet, and walk 1-3 miles per day. The only vice I have is baked goods, cookies, cake, and candy. 2022

We understand....
In my initial bio, I related to you that I had PBC for some 20 years before receiving a life saving liver transplant almost 19 years ago. In about 25% of those with liver transplants the PBC returns. We have to remember that our body still has the tendency to 'attack' it's own bile ducts and bile duct

Liver hemangiona
hi, I’ve just been told I have a small lover hemangiona. My mum passed away in September and her post mortem revealed advanced cancer of the gall bladder, bile ducts and liver lessions. I am told there is nothing to worry about but I have all the same symptoms my mum use to get, jaundiced eyes, swelling
