Cirrhosis/Sprionolactone/testosterone
I know. Bit of an odd one!!! Hi all! I’d just be interested to know if anyone has had any (male) hormone issues surrounding cirrhosis and/or the use of Spironolactone. Or perhaps it’s just me?! About a month before diagnosis, (I couldn’t see them because of my swollen belly), It felt like my testicles

blood group and being listed
my partner is at the very early stage of transplant assessment and today our transplant co-ordinator has told him that based on his current bloods and his blood group (A) she expects that if he were to be listed for transplant it would be a wait of weeks rather than months. He is actually not hugely

Helpful article for those who love someone who is dying of alcoholic liver disease
Hello, everyone — This article might be helpful for anyone who is watching a loved one die from alcohol addiction disease, and it’s subsequent effect on the liver. It’s stunningly honest and frank, and faces head-on some issues that are difficult to talk about. I hope it might give support and a feeling

The link between bradycardia and hypothyroidism
I had a successful Cardioversion via my previous surgery/private cardiologist some months ago but have been struggling in the last couple of months with bradycardia (bpm low 50’s ) ache across chest and episodes of falling asleep when I don’t feel especially tired (could this be syncope?) Im aware

How long have your liver enzymes been elevated?
Mine have been in the 40-45 range for the past 2 years before that 70 and 60 for 2-3 years then periods of normal right now ALT 37 and AST is 32 some scales would say this is normal but the lab I went to puts them elevated by 3 points but I’ve been dealing with elevated liver enzymes since 2014

Alcohol free drinks
Over the weekend I went to a neighbours barbecue. I didn’t want to appear antisocial, so went for an hour. I said I was off alcohol. I didn’t go into detail...I gave up alcohol over a year ago due to liver disease, and I’m pleased to report that I’m well. I enjoyed my drink...it was a bit different.

Questions? normal scans but liver problems..
I see a lot of people on here with the same thing, that they have bloods done, normal, have scans, ie ultrasound, CT, MRI all normal then they get a biopsy or F/scan and it shows liver issues, why cant they not see that on other scans? If your liver is fibrotic, or even fatty would it not always show

Fatigue is back with a vengeance - and low mood as well now
Hallo all Really struggling with fatigue at the moment. Think it might be the worst I've had although I'm not sure because I also seem to have lost my memory and my marbles as well! I feel like I've turned into a wannabe couch potato - and my mood is really low a lot of the time. It's really distressing

Fibroscan today
Hi My husband had a liver transplant in 2019 and has started to feel unwell again. He had a fibroscan today and his results were 4.4 but am unsure what that means. He is having major breathing problems due to COPD, emphysema and suspected asbestosis so had to take steroids for a while which has caused

Hepatic Encephalopathy
Hi, My partner was diagnosed with cirrhosis earlier this year and the last 3 weeks have been a nightmare! He has had two hospital stays during this time and the thing that frightens me most is the HE. He got up this morning in his underpants, came downstairs, put a pair of work gloves on and picked up

Can Methylprednisolone affect Ascites?
I am currently on 100mg spironolactone and 40mg furosemide daily to help my Ascites. Recently I hurt my back running and was prescribed a 4mg/day methylprednisolone dose pack to help with the injury. I began taking the steroid last Tuesday evening, and by Wednesday afternoon to my pleasure noticed
