Fibroscan results
Hi, My husband’s fibroscan came back with a KPA of 21.5 and the hepetologist has said he has significant bridging fibrosis - she actually said that he doesn’t have cirrhosis (said multiple times) and that at this stage he can still reverse it if he loses weight? What confuses me is that everywhere

yellow tongue
Hi All. My partner has been diagnosed with cirrhosis. he has a few mild symptoms, bloated stomach, spider veins, erectile dysfuction, loss of appetite. He has now developed a yellow tongue with fissures. Has anyone else had this? Is it related to cirrhosis as I cant find anything about it online

Pharmacist denied medication
Hesitant to post this. Opinions run strong on subject. My regular (+1yr) pharmacist called to tell me she was denying my regular pain med fill due to increased usage of thc. Shocked. She advised me to find another pharmacy that sells both THC and pain medication (doesn’t exist) and talk to my doctor.

angry about kidney transplant?
I received a kidney transplant about a year ago. I was donated a live one. However, I was very uncertain about transplant, and feel like I was pushed into having one due to other people’s insistence, amongst other things. As such, I am very resentful and angry. additionally, everyone treats my donor

AF Medications
I have had AF for a few months now, I have also attended A & E four times recently with palpations and chest pains. Each time they have given me either, sometimes both, potassium or magnesium intravenously. I have also had a kidney transplant (4 years ago). They cannot give me any more medication

HSCT early in MS
This is an interesting story about two women who went to Mexico and got Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation early in their disease. One, who was diagnosed with PPMS, received her transplant in the third year after diagnosis. The other, who was diagnosed with RRMS, got her transplant just twelve

Stem Cell transplant register search goes on…
Unfortunately my next appointment with Consultant has been delayed until early April as they are no further advanced in their search for matches on transplant register. The Nuclear medicine tests that I have just had will be added to MyChart which Addenbrookes uses to show appointments, test results

Does anyone know
Most know my Story about my wife, how she went from a Fatty liver diagnosis in Oct of 2020 to dead from Renal Failure in Jan of 2023. One thing, that is still being argued. And drives me nuts since the Biopsies showed NASH F1. She did have a compression of her IVC and Portal. Which cleared on its

INVOLVEMENT OPPORTUNITY - Research (UK)
One of the NIHR liver partnership research teams in the UK is working on a study to encourage patients with a diagnosis of liver disease to regularly attend for cancer screening. There are many things that make this difficult for people, particularly if they are homeless or vulnerable. The researchers

Serum gamma-glutamyl transferase level
I had a blood test conducted by my GP surgery. One of the test, not my normal profile, was this: Serum gamma-glutamyl transferase level (XaES3) 118 iu/L [reference range 0 - 59] I do understand that it's a liver test, and my other LFT's were normal. Any incite to the meaning of this test in respect

liver ast/alt
Good day, i recently got Bloodwork done. My billirubine was raised 71u/mol and AST 81. My ALT was 25, GGT normal and ALP also. I was a binge drinker for 15 years. Never drank daily. My fear is cirrhosis, with the ast alt ratio. Have had 2 ultrasounds that were complete normal and 1 MRI with out contrast
