Fibroscan Result - False?
Good Morning Everyone, I have been diagnosed with early cirrhosis last summer (July 2023) and have a Child Pugh A and a meld of 9. I have done two Elastology ultrasounds - first in July was 11.8 kpa and the second Nov 1st was 9.0 kpa. My liver enzymes are all in line and came back in line within

Struggle after transplant
Hi all,My partner had a liver transplant on 25/02/2024. The surgery was a bit more complex from an anurysm but went well. Unfortunately he was taken back into surgery less than 24 hours later due to a leaking artery which was thankfully treated. He was out of ITU two days later. Four days later he experienced

A medical professionals responsibility
Last year before Christmas I had a routine blood test that showed a reduced platelet count. Went from 160 18 months ago to 139. I had been going though a period of very heavy drinking (day and night) in the two months prior to the test. I went to see the Doctor as he called and asked me to come in that

The whites of your eyes?
Sorry to bother but these last several days the whites of my eyes are grayish and bloodshot when I wake. Not yellow though. They get better as the day goes on but its curious to me and slightly worrisome. Will be weeks before I can see my liver dr. Has anyone else had this? Is it a common side effect

Cod Liver Oil Supplements with Prednisolone
Been on prednisolone (UK) since 01/11/2022. I'm currently taking 3mgs/4mgs on alternate days. 3mgs was too much for me. Anyway if on pred, can we take cod liver oil supplements please? The tablets are ginormous so my husband has bought the liquid. Don't want to start unless it's OK to do so. Any opinions

Low ferritin
I was diagnosed with PV in November 2020. Initially, I had a few phlebotomies to reduce my hematocrit but thankfully I've passed my last three blood tests and haven't had one since January 2023. I take aspirin, a spoonful of cod liver oil and half a tin of grapefruit every day to keep my haematocrit

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.

Still fighting for a diagnosis B12, PA
It's progressive and will eventually lead to

. In my quest to unravel my symptoms I discovered that the high dose of Omeprazole they told me to take (14 months 40mg twice daily) could have caused PBC.

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
