HE and Variceal Bleed
I last posted 2 years ago after being concerned for my mom and her drinking. She was diagnosed with cirrhosis and has now been alcohol free for just over 2 years. She has had 2 variceal bleeds in the last 4 months, both times being found by her partner covered in blood and within a few weeks of seeing

Lump on Liver
Hi again, I was discharged after my transplant assessment as I was not ill enough yet to go on the list. I have a decompensated liver, crohns disease and diabetes. On a routine ultrasound last week they noticed a lump in my liver and referred it as urgent to my specialist. I have chased a few days

morning everyone I’m just looking for a wee bit of advice. I was diagnosed a few years ago with NAFLD. A fibroscan score came back at 20 and the consultant said possible borderline cirrhosis. Anyway, touchwood and god willing, I’m fit and well so I’m presuming compensated (?). My question is

new liver dr
I am seeing a new dr and he’s apparently one of the best in the area. I wanted to pass along some of his information. he said liver inflammation starts when numbers hit 150 for ALT or AST he believes I have a condition that causes intermittent elevated liver enzymes but since mine are only at 35 and

Spider Nevi
Former drinker. So I have noticed some red blemishes on my upper back. They are small but are not going away. I can't really see any blood vessels branching out from the blemish. Does spider nevi due to cirrhosis usually occur on the back? I have about three of them. I had slightly high liver enzymes

Fatty Liver
Hello everyone. A haematologist rang me yesterday and said I have a macrocytosis with no anaemia. My red blood cells are too large. She wants further blood tests and a liver scan. She mentioned fatty liver. I am concerned as I already have a liver enzyme not working now this. Appreciate any help. Thanks

varices
I would like to thank all the people who replied the variety of experiences made me do more research and I found that Carvedilol and omeprazole are just as effective as banding, however I will ask for a further Gastroscopy in a year or two. As I’ve had a serious bleed before probably over reacted. Once

Liver enzymes continue to rise
Good day to all. I am new to this very informative sight and appreciate any comments. Firstly I am a former heavy drinker in my early 60’s who completely quit alcohol one year ago. In this year time frame my ALT/AST numbers have doubled from 68/50 to 118/82 and my GGT has gone up from 183 to 233. Every

help interpreting results
hi all, My GP isn’t the most proactive so I find I need to push a little at times. I’m looking here to see if I should be concerned and push my doctor for further testing? recently I had my yearly physical, and also had an ultrasound which showed fatty liver. Liver function tests were normal, but

Bruising, HE and Itching
I’m newly diagnosed with cirrhosis from NAFLD and trying to sort all this out. What causes bruising? I have normal platelets, albumin and INR. Why do I have bruises in odd places? They’re in areas where I know can’t be from bumping into something. Another thing I have is brain fog and insomnia,

Supplements - are they worth trying for liver disease?
Has anyone with fibrosis or cirrhosis had any improvement from supplements? Just wondering if it’s worth trying any natural supplements since there are no pharmaceuticals to treat cirrhosis.

update
just wanted to share the latest. You remember when I last posted I was going to Dallas for an mri/mre after a different hepatologist did a fibroscan and said stage 4 fibrosis. My regular hepatologist was in disagreement and sent me to Dallas. Radiology report said possible early cirrhosis. Scared me

Binge Drinking with mild fatty liver leading to RUQ discomfort and nausea - help!
I posted 2 months ago in relation to being a very heavy drinker who had tried to become sober after an ultrasound showed mild fatty infiltration which was reversible earlier this year but I then lapsed and was terrified of having caused further damage. I was lucky to have a blood tests and an ultrasound
