meld. And ukeld scores
My son has compensated liver cirrhosis and I check his blood tests and reports as no one really explains them . His meld score is 11 and his ukeld score is 58 . I’ve been told by liver specialist nurse tgee as to they g do not take into account the meld score as it’s not accurate . Why do they do both

The article referred to below
This paper is behind a paywall, so I'll get it elsewhere. But it shows the benefits of giving T3 to patients after heart failure. This is just the abstract

mercaptopurine
I've had another flare of my AIH and they've started me on mercaptopurine daily. I was wondering what help & advice any 6MP users could give me. Experiences, side effects, do's & dont's? I'm nervous about taking it after having a bad reaction to azathioprine. Feel okay so far tho.

Hello, I’ve got a relative who suffers from cirrhosis badly and isn’t in a good health. Unfortunately they refuse to quit the booze and a transplant is out the window. A ticking time bomb you could say. This relative is not very honest and seems to act as if there’s no problem however will attend his

good platelet count
my husbands platelet count is and has been really good at 277. I have heard elsewhere( not professionally but from an excellent source) that he is unlikely to have cirrhosis with this reading. He was diagnosed with decompensated cirrhosis earlier this year with many symptoms. He is almost back to being

How long for CT Scan results
I had a CT Scan on Monday night and was just wondering how long does it take to get the results back. They were checking my pancreas and all along my abdomen including the right side where I have uncomfort. Also does CT Scan tell you the degree to Liver Fibrosis. I have F3 Fibrosis but have massively

Fatty Liver - So worried
I gave up drinking about 3 years ago with some 'blips' along the way where I tried moderation which I absolutely know now does not work. However, the dragging sensation I used to get in my liver area when I used to take a drink has persisted into sobriety. I approached the doctor to look into this in

Big decision. Met surgeon today - he wants to do liver resection. Is this recommended or too risky?
I have one isolated 7mm met in my liver. I met a liver specialist today who feels I am an ideal candidate for liver resection rather than ablation as he thinks it could be minimally invasive. I don’t know what to do - is it risky to come off meds? Is resection surgery too risky? It it necessary to do

Advice about generic medication
Hi, just asking some advice about generic cholestyramine Mylan vs Questran. I tried Mylan end of last year and seemed to have lots of bloating tried 2 sachets as opposed to 1 to try to make things better. Things did not seem to improve and I was having to take Gaviscon every night and not sleeping

Muscle wasting and other symptoms but normal test results
Hello everyone, I was an alcoholic for over ten years until April 2021 when quit because I was getting abdominal pain and leg jerks at night. After quitting for a few months they went away but then I relapsed five months ago. Since then I have had muscle wasting in my legs, testicular atrophy, weight

The end of the road for my brother
last week I sat holding my 57 year old brother’s hand whilst he passed away from a complication due to alcoholic liver disease. I cared for him for 3 years and it was very hard. Just wanted to say thanks as this site has been useful when I was doing research re transplants.

Alcohol and non alcohol related liver disease
Hi, another question. My consultant said my cirrhosis is due to alcohol. I was a very occasional drinker until recently. I started having a glass of wine with my meal at weekends or when dining with friends. This led to a glass every evening with my meal, then half a bottle each time. Eventually I ended
