How bad is it?
Does anyone understand BNP levels mine is 2963ng/L I think normal is between 0.0. 150. I think it indicates heart failure but not sure. Before I can have echocardiogram privately I need referral from GP who would you believe it is off sick!!

Fibroscan
Have been diagnosed with fatty liver disease through ultrascan, but cannot get fibroscan on NHS because blood tests are normal. Any advice please? Prepared to go private but does not seem available in Nottingham area.

Terrified
As per my previous post I’ve recently had lots of blood tests due to being tired all the time. I rang to see if the results were in and have been told the GP has referred me to Cardiologist for an echocardiogram. I hope to speak to GP in the morning subject to getting a telephone consultation. I have

Constipation ....
Sooooo, while there are some things which are considered "unmentionable", they are often the things where a chat can be very helpful. Many of us are on heavy pain medications, most of which cause constipation. Personally, I can go eight days and end up with nausea and stomach pain. Yes, I have tried

NT-proBNP Level query
Trying to line up a few questions for a Cardio call in December and cannot seem to find this bit out. My last Se N-term pro BNP conc result was 444 ng/L, is this the same as pg/mL? It came back as abnormal with normal given as 0-400, I`m 66, so could I have Heart failure as no one has said I have.

Quick deterioration
4 weeks after his last admission hubby eventually agreed to go back to hospital. I'm shocked at how frail he now is, shuffling across to the bathroom. Can't get a sense of his liver health. Apparently diuretics stopped, giving him albumin, and there is some kidney damage? They then have to reinstate

Psych evaluation
Hi! This is for those of you who are either on the liver transplant list or who have had a transplant. What I'd like to know is whether you were given a psychological evaluation or a one-to-one conversion with a trained therapist as to how to deal with serious organ rejection should it occur.

Marmite and cirrhosis
Serious question. Next to tabasco, Marmite is one of those foodstuffs that I really couldn't do without. I know the vit B12 in it is very good for your liver but I'm also aware that it's full of salt. I've been avoiding asking this question probably because I know what the answer will be but I really

Post Liver Transplant
I am worried about how my hands, body and voice always shaky and is been 5 weeks after my operation. I get dizzy when I am standing at one place for long. I would like to know from someone who has been in my position if I honestly will go back to being the same. Like going gym, lifting weight, playing

Starting treatment
Hello everyone, I've been on W&W Since Jan 2020. Two weeks ago at my consultation my consultant said its time for treatment, that week I had a CT scan, blood tests and an echo heart test. My next step I assumed would be a meeting regarding my treatment, however she called today to say I need a pet

Liver pain, elevated liver enzymes and ultrasound

For those who have beaten the odds and are surviving hepatocellular carcinoma.
Any pearls or tips from those who are beating the odds and surviving hepatocellular carcinoma? I was diagnosed 3 months ago and am currently on immunotherapy. I've tried not to get buried in the statistics regarding hepatocellular carcinoma. As I realize there are many who are beating the statistics

Decompensated Cirrhosis and follow up consultant appointment for husband
Hi, I’ve been lurking for a while but this is my first post. My husband was in hospital in May 2021 after a variceal bleed, he was having tests done before this as they suspected Cirrhosis, and after admission he admitted he had alcohol problems, and they treated him with banding, and he had previously

Hi everyone
Hello everyoneMy other half was diagnosed with advanced decompensated liver cirrhosis earlier this month. He's in denial at the moment so I'm trying to learn about what will happen to him, what support there is available. He's not interested in visiting the doctor- he won't leave the house. I'm trying
