I have been reading about very recent research and wondered if any sources are currently investigating the use of cannabis (medical) in treating / reversing Cirrhosis. I have a diagnosis of HEP C, which has been arrested with anti-virals (SVR). I have been drug and alcohol free for 23 years + (total

Finally got a diagnosis in writing
HiFinally got a diagnosis in plain medical language, not 'on the cusp of cirrhosis' or a broad statement of steatosis. Liver stiffness of 8.8 kpa Cap of 329...This demonstrates F2 fibrosis and fatty liver disease. Mr R is aware of the lifestyle modifications...to address the quantity of fat situated

Fibrosis/ cirrhosis diagnosis
Bit of a long tale I'll try and condense. About a year ago I had two episodes of excruciating pain in my lower abdomen. Sent for camera at each end which found diverticulitis and Barratts osegephous. Told to lose weight and avoid certain foods. That was it. No further flare ups. No problems. Go back

Friend has high LFTs
Hi, My friend has high AST (150), ALT (115) and GGT (415). Thry have high blood pressure too. They've stopped drinking alcohol but are now terrified to go to the doctor and get scan results and want to ignore it. Will this definitely be bad news?

Hi I am currently on the transplant list for cirrhosis of the liver due to PBC and alcohol - consuming a bottle of red wine every evening over probably 30 years. My consultant has said that they won’t know for definite which had most impact until they do a liver biopsy. 10 months after being diagnosed

This time last year
on the 22nd of December my partner went into hospital for what I thought would be an over night stay having suddenly developed Jaundice and ascites (although he had been ignoring symptoms of bruising and tiredness for weeks). I was able to visit him for the first time on Christmas Day, he was part way

Fluid restrictions ASCITES
My serum sodium is 137 mmol/L. Completely in normal range (133-146). I am taking spironolactone 300mg and furosemide 80mg. My question is how much do I need to restrict fluid intake for ascites due to cirrhosis?

I Feel like I should be grateful to be on the waiting list for a new liver. But I really don’t feel grateful to towards the kind doctors.

I really don’t want a liver transplant but do not know how to get of the list for good.
I really don’t want a liver transplant. Last year in December I was out on the liver transplant list. I got called in within less then a week after being put on the transplant list. 14th December 2021 to be more precise. But it never happened. And just felt the whole excise was a trial run. I been attending

Hi All, I'm new here and from New Zealand. I'm 44 years old and for the last 4 years have been drinking 60-70 units of alcohol (neat Vodka) in some weeks (about 14 units a night, with 6-8 weeks alcohol free in a year interspersed) I had a drinking problem before that from age 26 but not nearly as
