20 years of drinking and want to stop but don’t dare’nt get a liver test.!!
iv been drinking beer for 20 year's, 4 to 5 pints most evenings at home after work. I know I must have damaged my liver in some way, I’m not stupid.! But my problem is that I dare’nt go for a liver function test as I also suffer with heath anxiety which doesn’t help ? Not that anyone one has asked me

Carvedilol and Urso bowl changes
I’ve been on cavedilol medication since May 2023 and Urso since 2022, up until a few weeks ago I’ve suffered a lot of dioreah which started when at the same time when when the Dr prescribed me ferris sulphate for low iron. I know this has a lot of gastric issue so stopped that a week ago. I still have

varices grade 2
My consultant physician did a surveillance Gastroscopy which showed 2 varices grade 2, as I was taking Carvedilol twice daily he has decided no further action is required. Having had a burst varice in the past which put me in hospital for a week. I am confused to why he’s decided not to band them surely

Finally got FibroScan
Some of you may remember I was diagnosed with NASH Cirrhosis on a CT scan a few months ago. I then had a FibroTest which showed F3 fibrosis. After months of waiting I finally had the FibroScan done last week and results are kpa 11.9 which is considered cirrhosis 😞 in NASH patients. I didn’t get a CAP

Fibroscan update
Hello. I had a fibroscan at a BLT roadshow 6 months ago which scared me as it was 11.7kpa and cap 218. I'm a 45yo female. I was sent for an ARFI ultrasound after this by my GP, which scored me as being at the lower end of F2 fibrosis ( 1.25m/s) with mild to moderate fatty infiltration. The ultrasound

Second kidney transplant
Hi, My nephrologist is putting in the application for me to go back onto the transplant list. I am very lucky as I have had my first transplant for over 28 years. My GFR is running at 12. Something I wondered about is do they remove my previous transplant and put the new one in the same place? I

Why so grim....
My question is to the British liver trust. Do you know why the hospital consultants say to you maybe have 3 years to live after a stomach acities drain and decompressed cirrosis. yet many people here are saying they are living a good life. İt's cruel to give that information and then share it with your
