Hypo type episode while on Forxiga /Dapaglaflozin, waiting for pacemaker upgrade. Any experiences with this drug anyone?
I felt sweaty and shaky after skipping breakfast this morning, and looking at the leaflet for Dapaglaflozin, I see one of the side effects is to cause low blood sugar levels. It's a diabetes drug which has been found to help with Heart Failure patients. It makes you pee away blood sugar. So I ate some

Supplements to help liver
I had a blood test that showed raised ALT and then stopped drinking for 3 months and the repeat test had gone down to normal levels. I have heard that various things can help the liver, milk thistle, artichoke, dandelion etc. Is there any merit in any of these. I do not drink a lot but the occasional

Fibroscan

Elevated Liver Enzymes
Hello everyone, hope you are doing well. I just recently had LFT, 3 enzymes came back a little elevated. Alt was 52, Alp was 121 and GGT at 72. Ast according to the lab was normal at 35. CBC was all good too, ANA was negative, kidney function test was normal as well. All the other protiens and enzymes

Worried
I am a 41 year old male. I have always drank but only ever lager. Maybe 2 cans a night after work each night in the week and 7 or 8 cans on a Friday and a Saturday. Was getting little twinges under my right ribs and in my side so haven't drank for 2 months but the twinges are still there. Not painful

Fatty liver in biopsy but not scans
Hiya, I’m just curious if anyone has had a similar experience where their liver biopsy results shows signs of fatty liver but ultrasounds/CT show an enlarged liver but no fatty liver signs. I’m wondering if this means it’s extremely early stages maybe?

Advice Greatly Appreciated
Good Day, I would sooooo appreciate a response/advice/opinions.... I was recently advised by my GP (family doctor) that I have cirrhosis. This is of course terrifying...I apparently had sever fatty liver in July 2021 but I was sadly not informed of this. I would have turned it around immediately.

My mind is so much

Hello again
I posted a little while ago, that I had been diagnosed with cirrhosis just over a year ago as a progression of NAFLD that I was unaware of. I had been waiting results of DEXA scan which did show thinning of bones and an US which showed no abnormalities. (The cirrhosis had been diagnosed from a Fibroscan

Need advice - Is Liver Failure reversible?
They have diagnosed
Liver
Failure
and have put him on numerous drugs to try and reverse any major damage. Is there anyone who has gone through the same and managed a good outcome?

Some good news
I was told on the fifth of December that my ultrasound scan had picked up three small suspicious lesions, and that what they saw was suggestive of cirrhosis, portal vein hypertension and varices. I immediately quit alcohol, eating cannabis and otc sleeping remedies. I radically changed my diet and began

cirrhosis analogy
Happy New Year to all! I saw my primary care doc yesterday for my annual exam, after seeing my Hepatologist in August. Both said all of my bloodwork is normal, albeit slightly low platelets. 130’s-140’s. I asked my primary care about 1) possible worsening, 2) measurement of fibrosis (fibroscan)

How quickly can cirrhosis worsen.
Hi allI was diagnosed 2 years ago with compensated cirrhosis, portal hypertension, no ascites and 3 small varices that didn't need treatment. Everything was jogging along without change, no worse, no better. But, here it comes, I've had a bad time just lately, my husbands dementia is worsening and I'm
