Newbie needs advice
Have so many symptoms of lupus, but only realised when I logged onto gp records online to see that my latest bloods show first states of
liver
and kidney
failure
. Considering I live a health lifestyle I was shocked. I don't drink, smoke, eat healthily, exercise etc etc.

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

So much confusion so much pain
I tell you I struggle every day. I look at pics of my wife from this time last year, 2 years ago 3 years ago. My wife was never a drinker. We had a glass of wine at Thanksgiving and Christmas. Every now and then, maybe once or twice a year. She would have a drink at our friends. When we moved

Symptoms suddenly taking a turn for the worse
Hello everyone. I am new to the forum, and have some questions to ask, but also want to share my RLS story, as well as some things that I have found helpful in living with RLS. I have had RLS for over 40 years. At first it was fairly easily controlled with a good run or long walk, and later with magnesium

Rash from Cirrhosis?
Anyone with cirrhosis have a rash other than jaundice or spider veins? I have little raised red bumps that get very itchy and scaly. They’re mostly on my legs and my back and some along my waistline.

NSR...out of the blue!!
Last year I had 3 ablations for persistent AF, all deemed to be unsuccessful. 5 months after number 2 , I had 9 days of NSR but then went back into persistent AF with no further breakthroughs. Number 3 was arranged as a top up but after that did not result in NSR for more than a day it was decided AF

Life Insurance
Hi - I was diagnosed with
liver
failure
in June 2022. I have followed my consultants advice and the condition is now classed as "stable" albeit with a few lifestyle changes. However, I am having trouble obtaining life insurance due to the condition.

My question is: Has anyone had a TIPS procedure without having a gastric or esophageal bleed or without HE, ascites or any other of the many conditions associated with cirrhosis?
