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

2D-SWE, influence of inflammation and alcohol?
Hello everyone. It is known that Fibroscan can offer false positive results in the presence of ongoing inflammation or active alcohol consumption, among other factors. But I haven't been able to find studies to support this for 2D-SWE. I had a 2D-SWE months ago that returned 7.5 kPa (F2 compatible

Liver Disease Reversal
Seen in the Daily Mail today British designed dialysis machine can be used on liver patients and appears to reverse the disease doing away with the need for a transplant. It should be available in three years. There isn’t too much information such as what stage of the disease has it been successful

Confession time with a light hearted ending 🐈
Well I've been over 11 years sober in February and not been on here for a while. So in my days of drinking I used to live with my ex girlfriend who lived in a ground floor flat, and she had a couple of cats, and this stray tom cat kept on jumping in the window and having its wicked way with her female

Liver Cirrhosis Update
Hi all, my wife had her third follow up today and we’ve been told the following: From the MRI, they believe that there is a narrowing of the inferor vena cava vein which transports blood from the liver to the heart. Due to this narrowing, the vein has formed new vessels to by pass the narrowing and

Human Betaretrovirus and PBC - can antiretrovirals fix us?
Hello all What do people think please about the research on PBC as an infectious disease and the potential of antiretroviral drugs? There was a flurry of reports back in 2015/6 identifying persistent betaretrovirus in people with PBC and then some small clinical trials of antiretroviral drugs.

Phone consultation with consultant
My partner has just had an appointment with his consultant. He has cirrhosis, everything is going OK, he had a bout of ascites in October. That was controlled with medication, which he is now on permanently. He is diabetic but is now tablet controlled due to a massive loss of weight. He is keeping fit

Atorvastatin and liver function
Twelve weeks ago, after signs of some plaque on an MRI scan, I added 40mg of Atorvastatin to my daily medications (in addition to 10mg of Empagliflozin, which is now apparently recommended for people like me who are recovering from Heart
Failure
).

Bilirubin and Urobilinogen levels
I was diagnosed with a fatty liver just before Christmas - I have always been a heavy drinker so followed doctors orders and have abstained from alcohol since and also been on a keto diet - I have lost over 2 stones so far.

My husband is refusing to go to hospital appointment
Hi , back story is my husband has drunk spirits regularly for years before we met 15 years ago over our time together he slowed down to a couple of beers a night or so I thought. Over this time I have found the odd empty bottle of whiskey hidden away. Back to the present day he drinks 2 glasses of wine
