US Scan
Just had ultrasound scan and radiographer said no enlarged liver and spleen is normal. But the liver surface was not smooth. I know I have fibrosis. Will this be the cause? And how bad can it be to show up on scan?

Newly Diagnosed
After a battery of tests, I've recently been diagnosed with end stage cirrhosis according to my doctor, but haven't yet seen a specialist or had a biopsy. Hopefully someone can help answer a few questions until I get seen. Is final stage cirrhosis life limiting and what is life expectancy? How will I

Consultant appointment
My husband was diagnosed with decompensated cirrosis of the liver (ARLD) in December 2021, he had jaundice, asceties and spent over a week in hospital, where he had a drain and a biopsy. Due to covid I was never able to see the consultant as they always came in the mornings. Since then we have been to

Occasional RUQ since a few years, now elevated GPT
I started having right upper quadrant pain in early 2019. I went to my GP who told me to have a blood sample taken that found slightly elevated Billirubin. I got an improvised ultrasound at the same time that hinted at fat deposits in my liver - that wasn't done thoroughly, it was actually just a test

Traveling on a plane with liver cirrhosis and portal hypertension
Hi I’m new to all this. My partner was diagnosed with liver cirrhosis back in may 2022 and spent 7 weeks in hospital. In February this year he was taken into intensive care with a GI bleed and needed blood transfusions and was told he had portal hypertension. He had a follow up endoscopy 4 weeks later

Prognosis is not so good.
Hello all, So we had an appointment this morning to see husbands consultant.He was aware that he had been declined for a transplant, due to other health issues. So had a chat, and we are now managing the complications that go with decompensated cirrhosis, and to keep him as comfortable as possible.

NAFLD
Hi all, I am type 2 diabetic and overweight at 20st. I have been told my liver is fatty from an ultrasound. I had a fibroscan and was told the normal range was 2.5-7.5 and my score was 18. I was told by a letter that I may have cirrhosis. When I saw the liver specialist she said I definitely have a fatty

Relationship with alcohol
I was reading through some posts and answers and got thinking. Is the saying ‘once an alcoholic always an alcoholic’, really true. I certainly had a problem with alcohol. I drunk far too much of it and it became far too big a part of my life. To a point where I got very unwell. I was terrified during

Can drinking 10 liters of water a day reverse cirrhosis?
If water is flushing out toxins, a toxin-free state can give the liver time to repair itself. I could not find any studies belonging to cirrhosis. Only those who drank a lot of water showed less fatty liver disease. Do you know a scientist who has tried this?

Have diagnosis now
Got a letter from consultant now and it is confirmed that I have alcohol related cirrhosis. Consultant said "The key here though is not so much how much scarring there is in the liver, but how the liver is functioning, and on your liver blood tests your liver is functioning pretty well at present.

Once a month and really, once a month
Hello I have been diagnosed with Fibrosis Stage 3 but they are treaing me as though I have early Cirrohsis. I've been told to abstain alcohol forever. Now if I truly have the willpower to treat myself on one day a month to a few drinks and it is only one day a month, would it really do any harm ? I guess

Functional Recovery from Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell-Derived Dopamine Neuron Grafts is Dependent on Neurite Outgrowth
Summary Transplantation of human pluripotent stem cell-derived dopaminergic (DA) neurons is an emerging therapeutic strategy for Parkinson’s disease (PD). In this study, we demonstrate, for the first time, that that functional recovery after DA neuron transplant is critically dependent on graft-host

Thank You
I’ve been a ‘lurker’ here on the forum, writing very few posts but very much learning about liver disease, it’s complications and it’s effects on the patient, but also on those who care. I wanted to thank both the British Liver Trust for a fantastic resource of information on the liver and it’s complications
