Questions to ask at first Hepatology appointment
Hello all,I finally have my first Hepatology clinic appointment this week. I've been waiting since the end of last year when I was referred by my GP following 'excessive fibrotic changes' being seen by the surgeon during gallbladder surgery. All LFTs were normal in January, and hepatitis and autoimmune

ALP and GGT results
Good morning everyone, I was diagnosed last November and started taking Urso right away. However, didn’t take the full dosage as per my weight until mid April. I just had my bloods done and my ALP as well as GGT are the same as three months ago…ALP is 177 and GGT is 225. They have come down since

Liver lesion op.
Hi everyone I have finally had the lesion on my liver removed. Went OK and I feel surprisingly well after a 4 hour op. Only problem is I have to wait 4-6 weeks for the biopsy results. The surgeon said they also found a cavity where my gall bladder meets my bowel, had my gall bladder removed last

3rd Biopsy
Hi All, I had my 3rd liver bI iopsy last Monday, This was in a matter of weeks. When I saw my liver consultant he told me I had liver cancer with a 3cm lesion. He is hoping to start me on radiotherapy once he gets the result from my 3rd liver biopsy. I have the attitude to fight this terrible disease

Fibroscan worries
Hello I wondered if anyone has had a Fibroscan result like mine - 349 CAP and 13.9 Kpa ? I’m very overweight but not much of a drinker and really worried the prognosis will be dire - I’ve a long wait before seeing a consultant. Does anyone know of this is likely to be cirrhosis and irreversible or

Tuesday's Tip

According to Dr. Jones' book sometimes people will stop taking their Urso because their liver function tests have returned to normal. If your liver enzymes have returned to the normal range it just means that the Urso is working. The PBC isn't cured - it is just controlled.

I have talked to two people about alcohol use and they both had a physician tell them that they typically increase the amount a paticient reports to 2 to 4 times the amount reported because people lie about their alcohol intake. This also happened to me my liver function was low and I was told that

But we would also unashamedly promote the healthy diet and exercise that can conquer this dreadful insiduous
