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

Asymptomatic hepatitis, waiting for exact diagnosis
I’m 54 and was diagnosed with non-viral hepatitis in March 2023. No symptoms. I have a GGT of 512 and ALP of 375. Stopped drinking alcohol (was moderate drinker - 10-15 units a week) since high GGT discovered in Dec 2022, level went down for first few months, now back up again. BMI 23 (was 25 when

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

Non Alcoholic Liver Disease
I was diagnosed with Non Alcoholic Liver Disease Cirrhosis. Am I allowed to drink any type of alcohol or not. I’ve never been much of a drinker. Special Occasions Only. Normally I would drink WKD. Is that still okay to drink or should I stop altogether?

Hi all :-) I got told years ago I had NAFLD and no one really said it was a big deal. I was young (ish) and didn’t do anything about it. I was totally symptom free and then had an endoscopy for acid reflux (so I say “symptom free” but not sure if related but I know lots of people with acid reflux with

Having a rough day as carer
I'm having a rough day today. I got really overwhelmed last night with everything and usually wake up feeling better but I haven't!I'm so tired of caring for everyone, even mentally, when it's not physically. I keep feeling tearful because I wish, for just 1 week, someone would care for me this much!

Fibroscan
Hi everyone. I have been concerned about the health of my liver since February this year as I experienced some pain in my right side and bloating. I have had an alcohol problem for many years but recently it had got a lot worse. In my panic I saw the doctor who referred me for Lft. The results came

Psychotic Episodes
Just had a very successful liver transplant 8 weeks ago and am in the very lucky position to feeling better than I have in years. Now everything has settled into a nice routine I just wanted to raise awareness to post op psychotic episodes. I was warned that it is common for post-transplant patients

10 Year Anniversary
A few weeks ago I realized this is the ten-year anniversary of when I started dialysis. I started in August of 2013 in the days after I had a knee surgery. I was 14 years old. I'm now 24 years old. In the time since I started dialysis I started and finished high school, started and finished college,
