Any alcohol?
hi all I’ve been diagnosed with NAFLD. I had a fibroscan which showed a reading of 20 so possible borderline cirrhosis. However my gastro consultant said he didnt feel this was entirely accurate and it’s maybe not progressed that far yet, please god. My question is, and I think I know the answer

My First Pacemaker Followup
Today was my first real follow up with my EP since the fitting of my pacemaker and AV node ablation done on February 13 and 27th. I have not been feeling 100% although much much better than before all of this. I guess I expected more not realizing other things are in play with me and it’s not just

Defenestration or detouring of cysts in PLD
Recently went to King’s London for possible liver transplant tests due to a large polycystic liver and they feel it is the wrong time. That enough good parts of my liver remain. However it is very large and they are considering draining the cysts. Anyone out there had similar experience ? Jo

His tummy swelled again and we booked a further drain in December but when we got there his tummy was too soft to get the

LFT with High Billi
I mentioned before my wife passed away in Jan 2023 due to renal failure. The One Doctor continues to argue she had decompensated cirrhosis. Her last LFTs were really good, actually beyond AST that bounced around when she got sepsis. They remained within a few points of the levels below. Her INR fluctuated

jugular test
hi I had another CT SCAN and I’ve had subtle changes with my liver as my specialists can’t work out why my liver is cirrhosis and I have portal hypertension but the findings don’t collaborate together I’ve now got to have a test where they go in to my jugular vein in my neck and I think they said it

liver enzymes going up and down
I had a routine blood test 18 months ago which showed elevated GGT at 126. My GP told me to cut down on alcohol and I stopped having any alcohol at home and just had an occasional drink if I went out socially. I’ve never been a big drinker anyway. Fast forward to last September when I had another blood

Liver enzymes & blood test results
Hi, firstly thank you all for replying to my previous posts. Your replies were very helpful. I have got my blood test results. They are normal apart of borderline diabetes. It's 44mmol. My Alt and ast is 28 and FBC is 329. I am not sure what this means? My BMI falls in obese category. Doctor told me

Elevated ELF but 'normal' Fibroscan pressure - how?
Hi All: I'm a 50-something male with a fatty liver. Recently I was given an ELF test and it returned a result at the lowest end of the 'severe fibrosis' range. A follow-up Fibroscan gave a reading in the upper normal range for liver stiffness. How can the disparity be explained? Do I give more credence
