Periods of panic and fear after Fatty liver diagnosis
Hi guys, So as you may or may not a know, I was diagnosed with Fatty liver a dew weeks ago from LFT's and follow-up Ultrasound. I was just wondering if anyone else who has been diagnosed with fatty liver has had a period of feeling down and depressed about it or panicky ? And if so, how did you deal

Travelling on public transport with suspected liver disease/test to diagnose liver disease
Thanks to those who came back to me about this. Much appreciated. I probably wasn't very clear. I'm not asking anyone to try and tell me if they think I have liver disease or not - I appreciate that is very difficult as symptoms seem to vary and tests don't seem very reliable. What I'd like to know

Need a listening ear 👂
Evening all, I have spent the whole day crying. Life has just got completely on top of me and as a result I feel like the worst mother & wife in the world. The last few years have been difficult to say the least... 2018 traumatic birth after years of fertility treatment and didn't cope well during

Liver Biopsy and AI
Hello everyone! My initial diagnosis is F3-F4 alcohol-related fibrosis (but they were leaning more towards F4 cirrhosis with 17.8 kPa reading). My antibody markers were continuously high in the past 1.5 years. My doctor suggests liver biopsy to determine if this can be related to AIH at the same time

How fast does ELIGARD drop PSA? My urinary symptoms are worsening despite the injection, TURP and Testosterone under 20.
My PSA was 9.75 (07/28/2022) and testosterone 43 (08/17/2022) when I got my first ELIGARD 45mg dose on 08/18/2022. I'd been in a full time Foley catheter for two weeks at that blood On 09/06/2022 PSA had dropped to 3.95 (18 days) and Testosterone to 17. On 09/23 it had only dropped to 3.80 (5 weeks

Fibroscan and liver biopsy discordance. Which one is more accurate?
My liver biopsy is F3 fibrosis but fibroscan value is F0 fibrosis. I confused. Which one is more accurate? I searched in in internet they say fibroscan is scan more liver area than biopsy sample. Was it localized fibrosis?

My soon-to-be-ex husband was hospitalized in July 2020 with acute alcohol hepatitis. He was sober (mostly) for about 9 months and was told his liver was completely fine (5.7kpa in Sept of 2021). He began drinking again and in March of 2022 his scan went up to 10 kpa. He started drinking amounts I've

Unbelievable this was for my poor circulation in my legs as I can hardly walk now. I also had a MRI scan on my liver

More about Dexascan / AA / Adcal
I opened up intending to post about my latest AA Prescription dilemma - and still would like some advice. I wasn't sure whether to add to Blackcat1M's post - but it seemed a bit rude to invade her space! Anyhow, my GP prescribed me AA and Adcal -D3 early May on basis I had been on Pred since PMR arrived

Drug for post radiation fibrosis
Does anyone know anything about pentoxifylline, used to treat in post-radiation fibrosis, and it's affect in a patient with liver disease? I don't know why I'm even asking. It can't be OK? Pentoxifylline is supposed to increase blood supply and improve fibrosis. Or where to get more information? It

Coughing and varices
Hi I'm back again. I have Cirrhosis and small amount of oesophageal varices. I also have COPD so tend to cough quite a lot, mostly at night. I'm finding lately that my coughing has got a lot worse. Could this be caused by the varices? I don't actually think my COPD has worsened as my breathing is
