Fibroscan request 4 years after transplant
Good Morning My husband had a liver transplant in 2017 due to NASH cirrhosis. He recently had a diagnosis of asbestosis and emphysema. He is a type 2 diabetic and this seems to be causing him problems and is out of control. He recently had an ultrasound scan of his liver which seems to be causing

NAFLD vs ARLD prognosis & ELF Score of 10.2 AST:ALT Ratio of 0.7
Hello all. I am absolutely terrified at the moment. I had a routine LFT carried out for insurance purposes & it came back as abnormal. I contacted my GP who carried out their own LFT. My total bilirubin was found to be 42 umol/L & my ALT 72 iu/L. My GP ordered more tests & I have just had the results

How worried should I be?
My little grandson and granddaughter have both tested positive this afternoon for covid. I have been with them today. I was diagnosed with cirrhosis 2 years ago to this month. I was in hospital for 6 weeks and nearly died. I haven't drank alcohol since then. Covid is going around our area like wildfire

What next??!!!
Hope you've had a good Xmas x I feel like I am in limbo. I'm still under the liver team and last time I saw the consultant he said that I may not have to have a transplant. I'm confused last year I was told that without a transplant I wouldn't be here this Xmas but I am. At the same time I told about

When do AST/ALT ratios matter?
I received two blood tests this year that display my ALT as 59 and AST as 31, with a ratio of approx 0.5. Do these values hold significance, given my ALT is only slightly out of the normal ceiling? From what I have read, this is indicative of viral hepatitis. The thing is, my doctor didn't recommend

Vitamin D in winter months
Vitamin D2 is ingested from a healthy balanced diet and can be derived from everyday foods such as: Egg yolks and fatty fish like; trout, mackerel, salmon or tuna, as well as cod liver oil, or fortified milk, juices and cereals. Vitamin D3 however, is most efficiently produced when our skin is exposed

Hello all. I am wondering what are criteria for liver transplant? I keep ask my doctor if I need this he keeps saying no. He told my damage of liver out of 10 is 8.5 so I think its big. Also he informed me that 25% of people with my disease could have reverse of damage and MAYBE I HAVE THAT LUCK THAT

I have recently been diagnosed with Cirrhosis of the liver, I have not been given the results of my Fribroscan, blood test, Colonoscopy etc. I have contacted the hospital and the consultant who carried out the above procedures. Heard nothing back as yet. My question is are we supposed to have a liver

Now I have also had arrhythmia and some oedema so I was diagnosed with congestive heart failure as well. But two echo- cardiograms showed a healthy heart, two E CGs have showed the rhythm is now

Is this the end ?
My Dad has decompensated cirrhosis due to alcohol abuse. He stopped drinking 8 months ago and his blood tests improved considerably since then. His MELD score dropped from 21 to 18. I thought this is good news however, 2 days ago he started vomiting a yellowish- orangish liquid ( not sure if it was

Venetoclax and high total bilirubin?
Hello, I have been reading your posts for the last several months and the time has come to me to write a post as well. My father, 64 years old, has been diagnosed with Cll/Sll. It all started accidentally a year ago after blood test which showed his Hgb level was low: 10,4 and WBC was high. At first

Anyone’s gfr from their labs differ from gfr calculators?
My labs show a different gfr than what the calculators show. Is it bc there’s other blood related factors that get equated? Bc my creatinine has remained at 1.10 and bun 20 for over 10 years but over the years my blood labs show my gfr going from 96-70 in about 10 years. Note I didn’t get labs done

Firboscan result
Looking for some advice, I got sent for a fibroscan as I have an enlarged spleen and have been drinking heavily so they thought it was cirrhosis, I was told I'd get the results through the post but before I left I looked at the screen and it said my median Kpa was 8.5 I already have a diagnosis for NAFLD
