Enlarged liver and spleen
I'm so sorry to bother everyone again, it's just that I have [yet another] question. My liver and spleen are enlarged as a result of my cirrhosis - by not drinking, exercising and eating cleanly, is there any chance of the liver and spleen shrinking back to close to the size they should be? Thank you

Varices
Hi Everyone. I cannot thank all of you enough for being such a supportive forum. Sometimes I need to read your positive posts to get through the day. I am going in next Friday for a gastroscopy. My specialist said it was urgent, and is already assuming that I will need banding. I just wanted to ask is

I do hope that I’ll be able to help others on this forum, even just with a few encouraging words. As a new member I do feel it’s welcoming and supportive. I was diagnosed with Ascites in Feb this year. The doctor sent me home with lactose (just explaining was for constipation) and an appointment was

I was diagnosed with decompensated liver cirrhosis a few months ago. I came out of hospital about a month ago, from Ascites, jaundice and pneumonia. I am extremely upset by this and very scared. I have completely stopped drinking since my time in hospital. I could barely walk after leaving hospital

Elevated liver enzymes but no cause?
Hello, just wondering if anybody else has elevated liver enzymes but no cause found? ALT and AST have been raised for months but doctors can’t find a cause. I’ve had SO many tests, scans etc, and everything is normal? Yet they keep coming back raised. I take 1.25mg bisoprolol but doctors are certain

Increased Creatinine -
I have a kidney transplant since 2009. I have had 4 ablations on my heart for afib since 2019. It has affected my creatinine adversely at times. I just changed from Flecanide to Propafenone for afib, & we are hoping this will lower my creatinine, which has slowly been increasing since starting the Flecanide

Mycophenolate instead of Perfinedine or Nintenanib?
Hi everyone I became breathless suddenly in August 2023. This was initially dismissed by my GP even though O2 was 90% as my chest was clear and I had no cough. A fortnight later I was able to get an appointment with a different GP who sent me for a chest X ray which showed I had pulmonary fibrosis.

I'm so scared....could someone please help?
Hi. I'm so glad I stumbled on this site and I'm hoping that someone could be kind enough to reach out to me? I'm so very, very scared, and it's all my own fault. I have suffered from an anxiety disorder for 15 - 20 years and used wine to cope....and lots of it. I was diagnosed with compensated cirrhosis

Radio Frequency oral therapy for liver cancer
New FDA approved home therapy for liver growths; small antenna that is kept in the mouth for 1 hour daily. The science is radio frequencies that interact with cancer cells and keep them controlled.

Stage 1 Compensated Cirrhosis
Hi This is my first post since being diagnosed with the above condition. I have now stopped drinking. I am confused with the staging element. I would be grateful for clarification in layman terms.
