Following my recent heart echo this diagnosis has appeared on my NHS GP record - "left ventricular systolic dysfunction". I had the echo because I get breathless these days just walking across the road to the shops, but when I went to see the GP to discuss my results there was no mention of "left ventricular

Low triiodothyronine levels correlate with high B-type natriuretic peptide levels in patients with heart failure

AIH Liver pain
Hi TG123 I was diagnosed approx 12 years ago As my LFT/readings came down I was taken off of Prednisalone and moved over to Budisonide too From memory I experienced quite a lot of pain/discomfort in the liver area, I was advised that this was probably to do with the liver both eating the dead cells

Is pain normal/ok?
I have AIH and am on budesonide and azathioprine. This week I’ve been getting some pain in my liver is that normal or should I be calling my doctor? I’m pretty newly diagnosed so not sure what’s normal or not just yet. Any advice would be great

If the dr doesn’t see fatty liver on scan then is it still fatty liver?
I’ve been through a decent amount of tests endoscopy ct scan and many ultrasound scans and a hida scan nothing has shown anything abnormal with my liver. But when I take any type of meds which I’m on Prozac it goes up. When off meds my enzymes are ok. They stay in the mild elevated range. Cholesterol

Liver pain AFTER giving up alcohol
Hi all - wonder if someone could advise please? I gave up alcohol at Christmas after years of binge drinking. Strange thing is I now have upper right quadrant liver pain (dull ache) that wasn't there before. Sometimes but not always it radiates to my back. It's worse when I bend forward or reach up.
