Cirrhosis again
Hi everyone, I’m just a bit worried about my liver. I had a transplant 4 years ago and all was well until recently. I have ascites again. Spironolactone isn’t working for me. Does my replacement liver now have cirrhosis like my own did? How has that happened? Any ideas anyone? Naturally my GP and the

I was diagnosed with a Fatty liver about 2 years ago, which seemed odd given that CT/ ultrasound, MRI etc did not. Some raised liver bloods, anyway had a Fibroscan which showed quite high Cap ie over 300, but low scarring. So off I went and stopped all drink, lost some weight and changed diet, since

Diagnosed with cirrhosis
Today I found out I have stage 4 fibrosis which is cirrhosis. I quit drinking over 10 years ago, I've had weight loss surgery and lost over 5 stone which as reduced my fatty liver to practically zero. I don't have hepatitis or autoimmune liver disease, yet I still have cirrhosis. I'm only 41. I'm feeling

Swapping Baricitinib for Tocilizumab
Hi All. Been having a bad time with flare and fatigue following Covid and although on Baricitinib 4 mgs and Pred 10 mgs daily I’ve not been good. I started a flare back in December and it seemed that in Feb after Covid the Baricitinib is much less effective, if it’s working at all. The rheumatologists

Could I have cirrhosis?
I am 28 years old. I have spider angiomas on my chest and palmar erythema on my hand. I used antipsychotic and antidepressant drugs for a long time. I have sometimes taken flu meds and roaccutane along with these meds. My doctor said it's nothing to worry about. But high direct bilirubin worries me.

Planned C Section at 33 weeks, being told I can have Steroids but that the risks may outway the benefits
Hi hoping someone has had a similar experience. I had my 33 week scan and baby all good. Doctor mentioned that as they want me to have a c section at 37 weeks (due to my age, ivf baby, donor egg and other risk factors) I have an option to take corticoid steriods prior to the delivery but they aren’t

Spider nevi central spot?
Hi, As per previous posts I'm anxious about my liver, with good cause as a previous heavy drinker (50 units a week , much reduced last few years). A couple of years ago I had a liver MRI -fine. So my question - I've noticed some red veins at bottom of nose. Are these always spider nevi? I can't see

Fluid around liver post transplant
Hi, I'm 2 years post liver transplant, and I'm currently in hospital for a kidney infection. Thankfully they seem to have got this under control, even though my kidneys are only working around 43%. The worry is that a CT scan has shown up some fluid around my liver. Pre transplant I never suffered with

Rising Bilirubin
Good morning. I have stage 4 prostate cancer and since March, have been taking a drug called Zytiga (Abiraterone) which has been known to affect the liver. A recent blood test shows my Bilirubin to be 24umol/L when the normal range should be 0-20. A month ago, it was 19umol/L. I am therefore concerned

Low Blood Sugar readings
Hi I have Stage 4 fibrosis NASH and 2T diabetes. My readings are dropping below 5 regularly and I eat sweets to bring it back up. Tonight my reading was 3.2. Anyone else have the same problem?

blood group and being listed
my partner is at the very early stage of transplant assessment and today our transplant co-ordinator has told him that based on his current bloods and his blood group (A) she expects that if he were to be listed for transplant it would be a wait of weeks rather than months. He is actually not hugely
