Understand Your Blood Work
this is from a Canadian PBC Society PBC FACT SHEET (09/02/16) (may vary by lab) ALP Alkaline Phosphatase This enzyme occurs mainly in liver cells next to bile ducts, and in bone. The blood level is raised in PBC and is the main enzyme that is checked to see if you have a response to treatment

Help with diet
My husband has been told to cut out salt and reduce fluids to 1.5lt a day due to ascites, but increase protein and carbs and calories intake to around 3000 a day to maintain his weight. He is struggling with this as he has never had a big appetite and would happily exist on bread and sausage. He is type

nose bleed
was rushed to hospital 2weeks ago for pneumonia. Was discharged after a week. Wasn’t home 24 hrs. And out of the blue my nose started bleeding. It hasn’t stopped. Has this happened to anyone else and what did the doctors do to stop it?

Blood test results
Hi, three weeks ago I had a Fibroscan in a mobile community testing van, the result was a reading of 15.1. The nurse suggested cirrhosis of the liver and said a referral for a CT scan was appropriate. I hadn't heard anything for two weeks, as you can imagine, I was beside myself with worry, I phoned

liver
I’m 73 and been feeling extra tired recently, otherwise fit and well. I thought the tiredness might be caused by Keppra a drug I take for epilepsy, I’m also on statins … but anyway the GP did a blood test, the Serum Alanine transaminase was ‘out of range’ at 54 u/l. I’ve always been a drinker but stick

Hope for confusion/brain fog
Umecrine Cognition is developing a completely new type of drug for neurological disorders in the brain that can occur as a result of a number of underlying diseases and lead to severely reduced cognition and alertness. The results from an internationally recognized clinical phase 2 study indicate that

stent
Hello. My husband had a stent placed into his bile duct to widen it last April (2023) he had it removed in August (23) and a balloon used to widen further strictures (narrowings). All seemed ok. He struggles daily due to his PSC which has caused cirrhosis on the left side of his liver plus portal hypertension

Fibroscan – is it too early to be jubilant?
I do now feel like a fraud being here 😔 and my apologies to anybody here who feels I’ve created a storm in a teacup for myself and that I should clear the cyber waves for genuine issues. But in fairness to myself my GPs have been expressing serious concerns to me, I feel suggesting that I’m bound to

Severe cirrhosis, any hope?
My father is in hospital with severe cirrhosis. He has been drinking a litre of vodka a day for 2 years. It sounds silly but none of us knew about it. He never seemed drunk. We are beating ourselves up wishing we could have intervened sooner. We phoned his DR after finding the empty bottles and he was
