decompensated cirrhosis - aching
Partner diagnosed 22.12.22 decompensated alcohol related cirrhosis. Stopped drinking then. Bloods slowly improving until a bit of a crisis 3 weeks ago when he was suffering from awful edema (he previously couldn't take water tablets due to low sodium). He is back home and bloods are now looking better

Cirrhosis LFTs came back as normal but still worried
I spoke with my consultant today as I'd not had my blood results from last month. He told me my Liver function tests showed now as normal but said I'm probably still border line decompensated as LFTs don't matter. I asked him about hypertension as I have normal portal vein flow and normal flow through

So my husband with Alcoholic decompensated cirrhosis who has been dry now well over a month (well done him x) But has now been getting the Heineken 0.0 beers which are actually 0.05 ABV. Sooooooo not completely ethanol free are they! He

Does this look like jaundice?
I am extremely concerned about possible
liver
failure
or cancer. Has anyone experienced jaundice and had eyes that look similar to mine? thanks

Ain’t that a kick in the teeth
Well, fellow travellers. I haven’t posted for a long while , but I have been lurking.

Just when it's now safe to go out, a note of caution.
I first posted this up two years ago as a timely reminder. All those who have received a liver transplant (like myself) or who have a suppressed immune system will know how important skin protection is at this time of year. It can feel like we are having to doubly protect ourselves. Having got through

Me again!!
Just something niggling me so sorry for troubling the forum but I just need things to be clear so I can deal with my illness without being in constant worry. My fibroscan result was a reading of 36.6. I was told that I had NASH with Fibrosis but it is compensated. If it was cirrhosis, would he have told

Is fibrosis f2 reversible?
Had fibroscan today. Score of 9.2. Is this reversible? I was pleased it wasnt cirrhosis. I was told it was mild fibrosis but online charts indicate f2 as 'significant fibrosis with evidence of progressive liver disease' I have AIH & am taking budesonide 9mg daily. My LFTs have started to normalise so

PBC suspecting
Hi, I am very worried about my liver tests, and possibly PBC. I have been having yearly blood tests since 2008 (except 2019 and 2020), LFT were always normal, until November 2021, my AST, ALT, was about 3 times the norm and GGT was 4 units up. The tests were repeated in January, enzymes went slightly

Use of adjustable bed with cirrhosis and COPD
Hi, I've recently been diagnosed with alcohol related cirrhosis. Had a long conversation with my consultant last week and apparently I'm at stage A which is quite good to hear. I have a gastroscopy booked for 26th to check for varices and will be having a bone scan, vitamin check and tests to check

Autoimmune hepatitis 19 year old
Hello to everyone, I'm new here and we got my sons diagnosis yesterday after 5 months of him being unwell and a blood test showing extremely high liver enzyme levels. I wonder if there is anyone ( maybe even of a similar age) with the same condition as I'd really like him to talk to others and I would

Lost
I live with my parents, always have done. We are very close, they are my best friends. 3 months ago, my life started to fall apart. My dad got diagnosed with liver cancer caused by Hemochromatosis. We have fought so hard but the cancer took over and he was too weak to be able to have any form of treatment
