So pleased
I was told I had NASH a year last October. As a result, I was sent for a Fibroscan and my kpa reading was 36.6. My liver image looked white with fat.I have type 2 diabetes, gall stones and a hiatus hernia. I was floored by the diagnosis and stressed so much. My anxiety level went through the roof. I

Advice Appreciated
Hi all, it 3 weeks since I came off Spironolactone as my liver specialist asked me to do so as after 6 month checks they believed my results showed I was in a good enough place to do so. I’ve gained 8 pounds in 3 weeks which from what I can see online isn’t classed as rapid but the last few days I’ve

Effect of thyroid dysfunction on N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide levels: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Papers regarding the impact of inappropriate thyroid hormone levels keep coming out. It would be a miracle if endocrinologists showed any evidence of having read them. And incorporated the lessons into their practices. [i]

Platelets and Enlarged Red Blood Cells
Recently diagnosed cirrhosis but yet to see consultant so I don't know if I am compensated or not. I've been brought forward to see hepatologist from mid April to next Monday due to a cancellation. I've had full liver profile of bloods. According to my GP everything was normal apart from low platelets

Hi All - Gynecomastia
Hi everyone, so a bit of background from me. 40 year old male, always been a social drinker until covid hit then I started drinking a bit more. Just before covid in 2019 I went to the docs as I generally felt rubbish, tired and some abdominal pain and had full blood panels inc LFTs and all was clear.

Fibroscan and ultrasound
Hi friends Haven’t posted for a long time and thought I’d feed back on my recent experiences of ultrasound and fibroscans - two of them because the first wasn’t accurate - in case this is of interest. Also a more philosophical bit at the end. My US was reported as ‘slightly coarse echo texture’ which

Still Suffering after my hospitalization
I was misdiagnosed with

from a virus that subsequently caused
