Feeling a bit lost, fatty liver diagnosis maybe?
Hi everyone, Two weeks ago, I woke up with horrendous abdominal pain. After a trip to A&E and around the houses a bit, I was told there are some fat deposits in my liver and my liver blood tests were abnormal. As I'd ended up in a gallbladder dept, they confirmed it wasn't my gallbladder and they

GGT readings high
Hi, I have had problems with my GGT readings being high for 10 years and most doctors have ignored it. Now i have a specialist that wants to get to the bottom of what is causing this. I would say i am a moderate drinker which i have slowed down but the readings are still high. Had CT scan and all appears

PBC with Cirrhosis
I was diagnosed with PBC in 2016, I had 2 ARFI scans one in 2019 and one in 2020. Both of these showed F4 result. I did not get told that this was, in fact, Cirrhosis until September 2022 by a Consultant Heptatologist at a different hospital. As you can imagine this has left me feeling overwhelmed and

British liver trust Roadshows
hi just wondering what the roadshows are like and how can you get scanned. My reason for asking is I have high gamma gt over 400, raised SAP over 150, serum alt level over 170, AST over 100. I have 57 week wait to see someone at my local hospital and my GP thinks I need a fibroscan. Ultrasound scan showed

High albumin?
What could cause slightly high albumin in blood? Just had some blood tests done and this was the only thing out of range. When I Google it, I only find dehydration as a possible cause. I drink a ton of water so this seems very unlikely to me. My past levels have always been within range. The doctor didn

Partner out of hospital
Thank you to all the replies I've had on previous posts about my partner. He is now out of hospital but on an awful lot of medication including steroids and tablets that suppress alcohol cravings. He has been diagnosed with Alcoholic Hepatitis for the second time in 2 years. I asked the consultant

Elevated ALT a problem?
Hello, I'm 33 year old female, who was diagnosed with fatty liver after pregnancy. I can't find any more info about my fatty liver, it just says fatty infiltration. My BMI is within range. I drink maybe once a month as I'm too worried about my liver, I just don't enjoy drinking. I have been told

Natural remedies. Essential oils.
Have any of you used essential oils to help with PBC. I have been researching the use of oils to help detox and dilate the ducts to help with releasing the bile. I want to take info to my Dr for discussion. Medication side effects have been so severe that I only take milk thistle. My ALT and AST are

Not exactly ‘in the pink’
Hello everyone. Are there any people out there, that cough up pinkish phlegm. It’s only after lying down for 2 or 3 hours. I’m not quite sure if I’m starting to develop heart failure. I’ve been taking anticoagulants since 2014 and changed onto Apixaban about 16 months ago. Thanks in advance.

varices
I was diagnosed with Hep c 2020, now cured but have cirrhosis. Had endoscopy 2 years ago, no varices. my question is how long do they take to develop? Someone I know has tragically just passed away following a massive bleed and I can’t stop worrying now.

update
hi everyone , just an update on my Dr appointment yesterday, apparently she heard back from the hep dr who has agreed to do a fibroscan, this is what I want, I need to know what is going on, but I am also very scared as to what the findings will be, could it still be possible to have a low f0 f1 score

GP failed to inform me of Chronic Hep C positive test result for 7 years?
I was diagnosed with Chronic Hep C in 2007 after my GP requested a blood test, as I was suffering with shortness of breath and severe anaemia symptoms. The results came back saying I had "chronic active hepatitis". Now, I would have thought that due to the severity and the fact it was a "Virus" that
