Transplant waiting list
My father has stage 4 liver cirrhosis caused by alcohol and has been in and out of hospital a few times because of blood in stool or vomiting blood. He has stopped drinking completely as of 6 weeks ago, I would describe his drinking as more of a habit over a long period of time as opposed to needing

INR/FIBRINOGEN
Can someone please tell me if anything else can affect INR or FIBRINOGEN levels, last year my INR was 1 on the ratio and is now 1.1 does this mean the liver is getting worse or can that figure change, it is literally just on the last part of normal now, also my FIBRINOGEN is almost double what it should

Aquablation with APC
Hi there - does anyone here have experience with an aquablation procedure to improve urinary symptoms? My father is considering it. He has been on doublet therapy for 1.5 years, his PSA recently started to tick up a little. It's been difficult to get a clear answer on whether the procedure poses any

Looking for advice for my newly diagnosed dad
Hello, I was wondering if you can offer some thoughts on my dad’s situation. He was diagnosed with prostate cancer in February after a week in hospital with urine retention. A Ct scan he had in hospital showed 2 small mets in pelvic area. He’s had a biopsy which showed Gleason 4 +5 and his PSA in hospital

For those with kids...
Sorry if this is triggering for anyone ttc. For the ladies with kids how do you manage? I have 3 young kids 5, 7 and 10. I know I'm lucky to have had no fertility issues. Endo/Adeno I believe has been a result of a c section with my third. But how the hell do you manage the pain and worse CONSTANT FATIGUE

Not Cirrhosis
So many of you have watched my journey of the misdiagnosis of my wonderful wife. In the end, we now know a combination of Antibiotics destroyed her kidneys. Due to thinking she had cirrhosis, they had dosage values wrong...etc..etc. She had high billis, which was due to a medication reaction, and

Coma or Vegetative state
Hi - My brother has been in an induced coma following a stroke for 3 weeks. Every time they try to wake him they say he gets “agitated”. Also, today his case manager told me he is able to open his eyes, but when they did the light in the eyes test, there was no reflex. What does that mean? Is he officially

Private Health care for second opinion
Has anyone used private health care for a second opinion? I’m 7 weeks post Fibroscan and still nothing in writing. I had a call from a hepatologist last week. He hadn’t seen the scan either but said based on my memory of it I have Cirrhosis. I want someone to give me a proper diagnosis. Bupa have agreed

New 'cirrhosee' with reading of 75 on Richter scale! H E L P
See my bio - recently diagnosed cirrhosis with fibroscan reading of 75. Gutted!Interested to hear from those who have, over time, reduced this reading/'score'. Also keen to hear from those with associated eating disorders - e.g. gastroparesis (sluggish stomach) and best ways of managing. Experience

Severe Lung Scarring from Pneumonia
Hello, I have posted about my dad who is in his late 70s in ICU for severe pneumonia here before, but here is the current situation. At the moment, he is stable and he is close to weaning off sedation completely and starting ventilator weaning (trachy) soon. His ventilator setting is O2 35%, Saturation

Sensitive Post - my miracle baby *contains photo*
Some will be aware that I have been having IVF treatment since 2018 following two ectopic pregnancies. The first in 2013 in my right tube (which was treated by medication) and my second in 2017 where the left tube was removed. I had some tests after this and was told my right tube was blocked with one

Fibroscan Results
Howdy, I've recently had a scan after increased liver enzymes and an ultrasound nine months ago which showed a fatty liver as a result. Naturally, it motivated weight loss with a cleaner diet which meant a BMI change from 31.2 to 27.1 - so quite some change ! The fibroscan results noted 4.7 KPA and
