Help and advice for mum
Hey All, My mum has hidden her drinking, liver issues and cirrorsis for 15 years as I’ve been living in a different country. She was taken into hospital last winter, and I was told it was related to her liver, but no real further detail. Attending a consultant appointment with her last week has unearthed

Compensated liver
I have went from ddcompensatd to compensated liver disease since being diagnosed in August 2023. I keep seeing prognosis is 9 to 12 years. Is this correct or can you live past 12 years. I haven't had any alcohol since diagnosed

Confused and seeking clarification
Hi folks . . . I have attached a letter from Hepatology which (to me anyway!) appears to contradict itself? In summary . . . a US in September 2021 showed increased parenchymal echogenicity (PE) due to fatty liver. Follow up bloods and a CT in April 2022 revealed nothing further. I then had a telephone

Blood test Results AST/GGT
Hi all.I have a history of pancreatitis and liver issues. I did a private blood test in the week and it's come back that my AST and GGT are both high. GGT is worse. Should I be concerned? I'm going to ring my GP tomorrow for another blood test but wondering if I should go to A+E? I'm in pain and managing

The ups and downs of our rollercoaster OC journeys
When I recovered from debulking earlier this year I gave myself a good talking to and vowed not to let myself go from blood check to blood check worrying about them. I was so pleased my first check showed bloods were normal so thought my plan was working but then prior to the 6 month check developed

liver health
so …. I consider myself a fairly intelligent individual, but the thing I don’t get is why does our consultants want our bloods normal , how does that help us when I’ve read your still classed as cirrhotic and it’s just the the healthy bits of the liver are emitting these correct chemicals , does this

I currently am undergoing evaluation for a kidney transplant a major transplantation center, Perelman Center for Advanced Medicine. I passed the first stage by the transplant committee. I am wondering about how patients who have received a kidney transplant deal with transportation to their center

HEP B TREATMENTS
Hi, I saw my doctor today. I have had HEP B for many years. My doctor was only monitoring it. Today he told me that he is very concerned about my ALT levels. He recommend to start antiviral medications now as he is concerned about the cancer risk. I asked him if I will be taking them for the rest of

Liver damage caused by Herbalife products
I am a member of nutrition facts.com which recently posted a video, all based on current research, talking about the US but I know Herbalife products are used in the UK and often showing remarkable pictures of weight loss so thought I’d post it as a warning. When I was first diagnosed with fatty liver

I am now 24 years out from my kidney transplant. I remember it as if it were yesterday! Getting the "call" at 2:30 AM and having to be at transplant center by 5:30...and then not taken to surgery till 3:00 PM. Had a lot of time to "stress out". Picture is of me hiking in Arches National Park in September

new transplant
I am new to this sight. Just want to say I am feeling incredibly grateful for my kidney transplant that occurred on Oct 4. My daughter was my donor and we were both released 2 days later. I was the first robot assisted kidney transplant at Mayo Clinic. I have to say it was fantastic. I have about a 2

Liver ultrasound painful
Hi there everyone ☺️Just wondered if anyone else had the same experience I had. I've been told I have PBC and after a recent fibroscan (which was painless) was told I may have fibrosis so was sent for another ultrasound to check. I know I have fat on my liver so I'm not worried to hear about that but

Stopping diuretics
I have been on diuretics since 2022 and finally reduced to 25mg spironolactone which I’m due to come off. Now recompensated/compensated. It’s been a long journey since 480mgs of a combo or ferusamide & spironolactone. I’ve heard weight gain might occur when I stop. Has anyone experienced this? My hope

B12 stored in liver ?
Hi I'm getting a little confused and trying to understand what is actually measured with blood tests... Does a serum Total B12 reflect what is or isn't stored in the liver at the time of the test or just what is circulating ? Does an Active B12 test measure the store differently, is the store in
