travel insurance for child with previous varices and liver disease
Hello, my 3 year old son has chronic liver disease. He had an oesophageal bleed last year and in his last scope (third since the bleed) no varices were seen. I would love to take him to Europe (has been cleared to travel) but no insurance company will insure him. Does anyone please have any insurance

Hepatic Encephalopathy
Does anyone know how long it would take to get a Hepatic encephalopathy diagnosis? My pal was hospitalised in August last year, deemed not to have capacity and put on a DOL’s. After 6 weeks he was moved into a care home with suspected Wernike Korsakoff. Neither diagnosis has been confirmed and it’s now

I want a transplant but doctors won't give me one
My liver has been a mystery for my entire life. Since my earliest blood test from age seven I've had severely elevated liver enzymes and other signs of liver issues like low blood urea nitrogen (BUN). I've had three liver biopsies that showed I have stage three liver scarring and bile proliferation.

which blood tests give the best indication of liver health
so see previous post about blood test, we might be actually getting hold of them tomorrow! Can someone let me know the main tests we should be looking at which will give an indication of liver function. If anyone wouldn't mind giving a brief explanation of why that particular test is an important indicator

Surgery but without general anesthesia due to PD
I’m Wondering if anyone has had a surgery that usually requires general anesthesia but instead with just local anesthesia? Due to PD, I really do not want to be “put under.” Hard to share this but I am inquiring with doctors soon and would appreciate advice. My online search for this did not turn

My partner was diagnosed with cirrhosis in Dec and underwent a medical detox from alcohol. He was very poorly and remained in hospital for 3 weeks. Since then he has been eating well and not drinking. His bilirubin has come down from 256 to 60 and his blood platelets look good at 160. The doctors

My story
I haven’t been on in awhile but wanted to update everyone. My liver specialist from the liver institute Methodist hospital told me this morning was our last visit unless I needed him again. I retired from ER nursing in 2017 bc I was diagnosed with pbc and possibly nrh according to the pathology report

So, what is it? NAFLD, Fibrosis or NA Cirrhosis?
Hi everyone, so I had a biopsy in December last year and the results weren't great. My letter from the consultant at the hospital said that I scored a 5 out of 6, where zero is an absence of fibrosis through to six, which is likely or definite cirrhosis (this is using the Ishak scoring system), which
