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

When blood tests don't show the reality in lupus
I don't get elevated LFTs, for my
liver
borders on
failure
,so contrary produces very little enzymes and CRP which seems to throw HCPs off. It's a nightmare when we often don't fit the code because our immune system does its own thing.

Dieting with Cirrhosis
Hi I have early stage Cirrhosis and need to lose some weight. Quite a lot actually. I'm considering the Keto diet. Does anybody know if this is okay for someone with alcohol related cirrhosis. Thanks for any help you can offer

Liver Biopsy
Hi all, I was finally able to se a liver specialist outside my region. Unfortunately it didn't go well. She made it quite clear that she wasn't thrilled seeing someone out of her region (i'm in Gatineau, Quebec and the liver specialist is in Montreal, Quebec so about a 3 hour drive). Without getting

Latest bloods, advice on B12 and Levo dose please?
Please don't say anything that will make me fear kidney or
liver
failure
or something worse, I'm struggling anyway and often frightened about my symptoms! (both liver & kidney function were fine tested in May). Should I be worrying about this B12?

Diabetes and liver damage
Hi again sorry for the barrage of questions. Alongside thinking I have cirrhosis I have also recently been diagnosed with diabetes. My question is - will I find it much harder to bring my diabetes under control if I have a damaged liver?

Follow up on my liver cancer HCC
Hi all, I have been on the craziest rollercoaster ride since January 2022. Had resection May 28, 2021. My cancer came back 8 months after surgery. Was referred to have a liver transplant evaluation. My case looked very promising to get a liver. Had to do a lot of prep including testing and interviews

10 weeks post op liver cyst deroofing/resection
I am 10 weeks out today from robotic liver resection 10%m gallbladder removal (lesion pressing on it killed it) and deroofing of an 8 cm cyst (formerly a hemangioma that turned cystic after 2 ablations). I have made some progress but still feel rather badly; still have pain/discomfort on right side,

Transplant assessment at the Royal Free
My partner is due to go for 2 day transplant assessment at the RF at the start of Aug. Cirrhosis due to alcohol - detoxed and remained alcohol free at first presentation of symptoms over 6 months now, engaging with external support and alcohol nurse. He has had a lot of tests done at our local liver

Heart Failure
I contracted Covid in March and at which time I was also diagnosed with AF. I have had several Doctors and Hospital appointments and each time my Medications have been increased changed and most recently one tablet removed. I find it slightly unsettling each time a medical professional refers to it

Sphincter of Oddi Dysfunction Type 1 with cirrhosis of the liver
I had an Endoscopic ultrasound on Tuesday where they confirmed I have Sphincter of Oddi Dysfunction (SOD) Type 1. Last week I was diagnosed with cirrhosis with a score of 22.5. I'm still not sure what this score really means except I'm in the risk category (20-25). A score over 25 is high risk. I'm a
