cirrhosis and rheumatoid arthritis
My partner originally decompensated now compensated has suffered from bad aches and pains since diagnosis with ALD - always told it was a side effect of cirrhosis but as he started to become decompensated they started to entertain the idea it might be something else. Cut to almost 2 years later and

low WBC Count & CMV Update
Okey, I haven’t posted for a while because I haven’t felt terribly well. I’m fairly sure this is due to the high dose of Valcyte I’m taking and have taken for all but 2 months since the first week of June. BACKGROUND I had a kidney transplant the week before Thanksgiving 2022. The surgery went well

Bed hair
Well I've had all my tests, I'm now severe, got pulmonary hypertension so the lung reduction is out of the question, apparently. I can go forward for a lung transplant but you know, I caused this with smoking, I gave up 2 years ago. And I don't fancy having my ribcage opened and someone else's blood

Feeling fed up
I’ve had deranged LFTS on and off for at least 6 years now with Alt going up over 1000. Second time seeing specialist and apart from signs in liver biopsy pointing to AIH the scans don’t seem to show much. Don’t seem to get told much by Specialist and don’t seem to keep me updated. Had a MRCP on October

After recovering from a Decompensated liver from just 2 weeks to live, then it was 3 months, then 1-2 years then 5 years to live, I have now been given the news that ive done so

GFR levels post transplant
Can anyone tell me what the logic would be if having a
liver
transplant
only to result in stage 3b
liver
disease within 2 yrs. what sense does that make. It’s a genuine question and one that I’m truly shocked asking.

I really don’t want a liver transplant but do not know how to get of the list for good.
I done all my research on the survival rate of people having the
liver
transplant
. 75 people out of a hundred will survive for the first five years of the the
liver
transplant
and the rest will die.

Post Liver Transplant
I am worried about how my hands, body and voice always shaky and is been 5 weeks after my operation. I get dizzy when I am standing at one place for long. I would like to know from someone who has been in my position if I honestly will go back to being the same. Like going gym, lifting weight, playing

What do you do and what support do you get if you really don’t want a liver transplant
I really don’t want a
liver
transplant
. Last year in December I was out on the
liver
transplant
list. I got called in within less then a week after being put on the transplant list. 14th December 2021 to be more precise. But it never happened. And just felt the whole excise was a trial run.

Transplant waiting list
My father has stage 4 liver cirrhosis caused by alcohol and has been in and out of hospital a few times because of blood in stool or vomiting blood. He has stopped drinking completely as of 6 weeks ago, I would describe his drinking as more of a habit over a long period of time as opposed to needing

INR/FIBRINOGEN
Can someone please tell me if anything else can affect INR or FIBRINOGEN levels, last year my INR was 1 on the ratio and is now 1.1 does this mean the liver is getting worse or can that figure change, it is literally just on the last part of normal now, also my FIBRINOGEN is almost double what it should

I am now able to tolerate antibiotics again after my nerves healed
Hello! I just want to give this update about my situation. I hope people on here find this because my situation was a nightmare and I think this can help people who are confused and not sure what to do or if they'll ever be able to tolerate antibiotics again (TL;DR: you will be able to if you can heal

Not Cirrhosis
So many of you have watched my journey of the misdiagnosis of my wonderful wife. In the end, we now know a combination of Antibiotics destroyed her kidneys. Due to thinking she had cirrhosis, they had dosage values wrong...etc..etc. She had high billis, which was due to a medication reaction, and

Coma or Vegetative state
Hi - My brother has been in an induced coma following a stroke for 3 weeks. Every time they try to wake him they say he gets “agitated”. Also, today his case manager told me he is able to open his eyes, but when they did the light in the eyes test, there was no reflex. What does that mean? Is he officially
