Private health with PBC
Hi there - I have a very specific question related to anyone who has PBC, has private health insurance and may have developed a new diagnosis later down the line eg. Liver cancer. How was your experience with private health dealing with the cancer and PBC? Did it mean treatment for that cancer was

weird place for a MS hug
Hello MS family, I pray that all are doing as well as they could. Its spring time. I know hot weather does not do the body good. In my case winter nor summer does my body good because I am affected by both hot and cold. Well my weird question is does anyone have their MS hugs in other places other

Fine blood tests and ultrasound elastography after heavy alcohol abuse - am I safe then?
I suffered alcohol abuse for 3 years, and now I am a light drinker. I had normal blood tests, ultrasound and elastography 1.5 years ago. Am I safe as long as I drink in moderation (0-2 beers a week), or should I check my liver with elastography again? I assumed that I was safe since my results were

Fibrocscan results
Hi all. Thought I’d give an update after my previous few posts. Fibroscan results were good, 4.9 KPA - which I’m amazed at after my drinking history. Was told by the specialist to ignore my slightly elevated AST and to not bother keep testing it. Most likely muscle damage from the very physical job

Recent diagnosis
I’ve recently been diagnosed with cirrhosis and mild encephalopathy. There is also a suggestion that I may have autonomic failure. Has anyone had a similar diagnosis? I’m really frightened and am getting minimal support and advice from my doctors.

NHS failing
Well being diagnosed with Cirrhosis 22/09/2022, I had my first 6 monthly HCC scan 07/03/2023 I was strangely excited to see the hard work it had taken to lose 3 stone, completely abstain from alcohol, endoscopy exam clear & not a single symptom of my diagnosis! I was met with a STUDENT and the most uneducated

Latest fibroscan

Fibroscan of 9
I went to the BLT roadshow and had a scan and my score was 9. I’ve been a heavy drinker for years, so I knew it would be high., and I haven’t drunk since the scan on Monday. The clinician was lovely, and recommended I go to my GP to get blood tests but also said I shouldn’t be too concerned. Everything

New test reliable?
Hello everyone. I hope your Saturday is going well. I spoke with my GP this morning to receive blood test results. She said my liver tests are good, my ALT only 50. She explained they did a fairly new test too, called fibrosis 4, known as fib 4 and that assessed scarring of the liver. It was really low

Update from a worried mom.
I didn't realise it has been two months when I first posted about my son. It has now been confirmed that he is now terminal .It really bought it home when his gp rang to say he had completed the D1500 form that has to be sent to the government I think he said. Anthony went into a nursing home last Thursday

Gamma GT
I was previously a heavy binge drinker, i had liver function tests which were ok but slightly raised GGT. I stopped drinking completely a couple of months ago and had the blood test again, it has risen rather than going down. i am otherwise very fit, healthy BMI and a good diet. Does anyone know why

Feeling a bit lost, fatty liver diagnosis maybe?
Hi everyone, Two weeks ago, I woke up with horrendous abdominal pain. After a trip to A&E and around the houses a bit, I was told there are some fat deposits in my liver and my liver blood tests were abnormal. As I'd ended up in a gallbladder dept, they confirmed it wasn't my gallbladder and they

GGT readings high
Hi, I have had problems with my GGT readings being high for 10 years and most doctors have ignored it. Now i have a specialist that wants to get to the bottom of what is causing this. I would say i am a moderate drinker which i have slowed down but the readings are still high. Had CT scan and all appears
