Fibroscan and liver biopsy discordance. Which one is more accurate?
My liver biopsy is F3 fibrosis but fibroscan value is F0 fibrosis. I confused. Which one is more accurate? I searched in in internet they say fibroscan is scan more liver area than biopsy sample. Was it localized fibrosis?

Drug for post radiation fibrosis
Does anyone know anything about pentoxifylline, used to treat in post-radiation fibrosis, and it's affect in a patient with liver disease? I don't know why I'm even asking. It can't be OK? Pentoxifylline is supposed to increase blood supply and improve fibrosis. Or where to get more information? It

Giving up driving...
Hi I just needed to vent a bit and ask for advice on how to handle something. My husband has decompensated alcohol related liver disease. Cirrhosis, regularly gets new varices banded etc. He has been seen by the QE transplant team but his UKELD score is only 52 so they aren't assessing him yet and

How is he still functioning?
My soon-to-be-ex husband was hospitalized in July 2020 with acute alcohol hepatitis. He was sober (mostly) for about 9 months and was told his liver was completely fine (5.7kpa in Sept of 2021). He began drinking again and in March of 2022 his scan went up to 10 kpa. He started drinking amounts I've

Unbelievable this was for my poor circulation in my legs as I can hardly walk now. I also had a MRI scan on my liver

More about Dexascan / AA / Adcal
I opened up intending to post about my latest AA Prescription dilemma - and still would like some advice. I wasn't sure whether to add to Blackcat1M's post - but it seemed a bit rude to invade her space! Anyhow, my GP prescribed me AA and Adcal -D3 early May on basis I had been on Pred since PMR arrived

Coughing and varices
Hi I'm back again. I have Cirrhosis and small amount of oesophageal varices. I also have COPD so tend to cough quite a lot, mostly at night. I'm finding lately that my coughing has got a lot worse. Could this be caused by the varices? I don't actually think my COPD has worsened as my breathing is

Poor liver function due to Heart Failure
It looks like my liver function is poor due to the amount of blood being pumped through it by my dodgy heart. The result is toxins are not being flushed out and I feel like I have a hangover all the time. Has anyone else experienced this and if so how did they get it fixed?

Diagnose Liver Cirrhosis
I've told before that I doubted my diagnose concerning my liver. You can read my previous posts if u would like to. I remember two and a half years ago I had highly elevated values in my blood, a swolen, painfull liver and I could feel my spleen. Further I told the specialist I had blood coming from

Newbie looking for advice on recent test result
I was diagnosed with an underactive thyroid in april 2022. What a rollercoaster! Do I have an autoimmune thyroid disorder? My first test was looking at reason for a change in bowel movements and fatigue. Doctor responded directly to the TSH level and placed me on 25mg levothyroxine. Serum
