Diagnosis Cirrhosis
Finally after 5 years of back and forth for labs I've been diagnosed with stage 1 cirrhosis no ascites,but I'm confused why doctors put energy into finding out but none into any type of treatment while it's still early!

Low kidney function
My husband ckd his kidneys are at 18% and his kidney dr has told him she wants a face to face appointment next week and he's waiting for a urgent scan on them, dr has told him he may need to weigh up the options ,does that mean a transplant or dialysis

In the Rush to Return to ‘Normal,’ What Happens to the Vulnerable? By Sarah Wildman in NYT 04/10/22
“Covid-19 need no longer control our lives,” President Biden announced in the State of the Union address, speaking to a room of unmasked though back-room-tested members of Congress. He then offered, magnanimously: “If you’re immunocompromised or have some other vulnerability, we have treatments and free

New PMR Sufferer
Hi, as a new PMR sufferer, I am keen to hear from similar sufferers of the condition! I consider my symptoms as moderate and I appear to be managing my condition reasonably well with 15mg of Prednisolone. I also supplement my diet with Magnesium and Vitamin D, a daily dose of Cod Liver oil. I actively

Hello, my 3 year old son has chronic liver disease. He had an oesophageal bleed last year and in his last scope (third since the bleed) no varices were seen. I would love to take him to Europe (has been cleared to travel) but no insurance company will insure him. Does anyone please have any insurance

Hepatic Encephalopathy
Does anyone know how long it would take to get a Hepatic encephalopathy diagnosis? My pal was hospitalised in August last year, deemed not to have capacity and put on a DOL’s. After 6 weeks he was moved into a care home with suspected Wernike Korsakoff. Neither diagnosis has been confirmed and it’s now

I want a transplant but doctors won't give me one
My liver has been a mystery for my entire life. Since my earliest blood test from age seven I've had severely elevated liver enzymes and other signs of liver issues like low blood urea nitrogen (BUN). I've had three liver biopsies that showed I have stage three liver scarring and bile proliferation.

which blood tests give the best indication of liver health
so see previous post about blood test, we might be actually getting hold of them tomorrow! Can someone let me know the main tests we should be looking at which will give an indication of liver function. If anyone wouldn't mind giving a brief explanation of why that particular test is an important indicator
