Confusing fibroscan result
Hello all, just a quick update on my partner following his visit to the hepatologist for a check-up 7 months after his last visit. Back in February he had a fibroscan that gave him a score of 16kPa, which was F3 severe fibrosis. At the time he saw a different consultant, who put his original decompensated

End of Life Memories
Thinking back to a year ago I was busy trying to turn an unused room filled with a lifetime of boxes into a habitable, useable bedroom for the arrival of a hospital bed before the hospital would allow mum to come home.

Long time on wait list
Hoping to hear from people who waited a long time for a liver transplant. Husband has been on the list for 15 months now, and I'm not sure either of us can stand this much longer. He's been called once, about 3 months ago, so at least they haven't forgotten about him, but it's so hard watching him get

Liver cancer stage 4
Hello, I am hoping for some advice and support. My poor father was diagnosed with liver cancer in May. It is stage 4 and spread to both lungs a couple of months ago. I am hoping for some advice from people who may have, sadly, gone through this. He is extremely tired, with a very low appetite and

CRTD and pacing
hi everyone, I had a CRTD pacemaker with defib inserted about 18 days ago as I had a cardiac arrest in hospital after being given a loading dose of digoxin whilst on Dronederone, following a cardioversion that initially worked but then put me into afib with high heart rate. I’ve heart failure now with

I don't know what to do :(
I was diagnosed with an underactive thyroid back in 2018. I assume it's autoimmune related as my anti body score was 410.8 but it's never been stated as such. My mum also has an underactive thyroid which I think is the main reason they started me on levothyroxin in the first place; 2 years before in

Silychristin, a Flavonolignan Derived From the Milk Thistle, Is a Potent Inhibitor of the Thyroid Hormone Transporter MCT8
We have seen many claims for Milk Thistle over the years. Often suggested for people with liver-related issues. But the only person I know who tried it felt unwell from taking it. So I have long been cautious. This paper identifies a potentially significant issue with a constituent of Milk Thistle

Fibroscan referrals
My wife and I took advantage of a Fibroscan Roadshow this week. Mine was normal but wife has reading of 12.2 kPa and an 1QR 47. The clinician who took my wife’s reading had a great deal of difficulty in getting the right position to get a reading from her liver. It took over 10 minutes! The results

Fibroscan vs CT scan for cirrhosis diagnostics
I will ask this question to my consultant but since I won't see him in the next 2 months, I'll go ahead and ask here in case anyone knows. As I understand, Fibroscan can correctly show the fibrosis reading of, let's say 6.5 kPa, but CT scan can still detect liver nodularity and scarring which corresponds

Experimental treatment for PD
Does anyone know anything about the clinical trials going on in the UK with Ambroxol as a treatment for PD (a repurposed cough medicine)? The preliminary results look good, but I can't find anything after 2021.

Recent deterioration
I have an autoimmune liver disease called Nodular Regenerative Hyperplasia. This is caused by a primary immune condition called Common Variable Immune Deficiency. I have deteriorated slowly over 10 years and the phrase “ advanced liver disease” was used for the first time in September. A few weeks

Cirrhosis!
silly question but I was wondering if anyone ever was told that they have cirrhosis and one day it all got cleared? Is it possible for the liver to heal once it has cirrhosis and if anyone has the experience of this then please share the treatment or life style changes you may have adopted. Many thanks

imuran
I have been on Imuran 50mg for over 3 years and will be on it another 2 for autoimmune hepatitis. I also have PBC and take ursodiol for that. Imuran has lowered my liver levels and has kept them stable for me. It suppresses your immune system but it’s manageable. My dr is hoping that after being on it
