Cirrhosis diagnosis
I have recently been diagnosed with cirrhosis following abnormal blood test and fibroscan. I am a non drinker, with a BMI 22.3. The specialist says I am one of the 5-7% of people with a fatty liver but not over weight and probably hereditary. This has come as a shock. I only had a blood test because

High GGT Level
Hi, I had an ultrasound in November 22 because of a high GGT level and right side pain, the results came back as normal. I had another blood test in January and again in May of this year and the results came back as normal apart from my GGT which was 142. I don’t drink and eat healthily and still

HCC Treatment
Hi all, I'm waiting to hear what my treatment plan will be following a small, singular spot that is HCC... I have Budd Chiari, liver TIPS and cirrhosis (although not bad I believe). It's the Budd C that's caused all my problems (which despite being diagnosed with since 22/23 I'm still struggling to

Start of my Stem Cell Journey 0.3
Well, where do I start. The transplant team wanted to increase my Rux to 10 mgs which has been really good for me. So much energy hardly any symptoms and overall feeling better. The fly in the ointment is my blood levels are dropping red cells were 80 and my platelets were in the 30’s. My Haematologist

Liver Transplant consent letter & liver types
hi, my partner has just been accepted onto the transplant list with a UKELD of 56 and blood group A (this is relevant as have been told the wait for this group is shorter). He has just had the consent form and agonised for ages over which boxes to tick in terms of what livers to accept. It seems so ungrateful

6 weeks post lung transplant.
Home now and what a relief. 22 days in ICU resulting in muscle waste in legs so starting all over again with stairs etc. Wound pain 8/10 especially when bending or reaching out. 30% loss of vision due to minor stroke at bottom of brain. The docs seem quite happy with results which is brilliant but

ELF Test
Hi I have just had my results back from my elf test it reads 9.97, which really did alarm me initially, I spoke to 2 hepatologist consultants and both have quite conflicting opinions, the first one who I will go back to for a follow up appointment I think is the most accurate, I had a fibro scan in

Advice vanishing bile duct.
My nan had suffered some liver issues due to taking an anti biotic. Alot of scans and tests later a biopsy revealed vanishing bile duct syndrome and a 70% functioning liver. She has now been put on UDCA tablets which have made her very ill. What if she isn't able to take the tablets? I just like

Human Betaretrovirus and PBC - can antiretrovirals fix us?
Hello all What do people think please about the research on PBC as an infectious disease and the potential of antiretroviral drugs? There was a flurry of reports back in 2015/6 identifying persistent betaretrovirus in people with PBC and then some small clinical trials of antiretroviral drugs.

I've had it confirmed. I've got HCC.
So following on from my previous posts, I've been told the images on the MRI have shown HCC. It's currently a single, small but treatable area. I already have a shunt (my 2nd one) and I'm already in a transplant clinic for monitoring but not on the list or had assessment. My consultant has said when

Osteoporosis treatment post transplant
I'm post Kidney Transplant with many problems, and one is Osteoporosis. My Endocrinologist wanted to put me on Reclast and I declined. Now, he wants to put me on Prolia. There seems to be many side effects to this also. I was on Fosomax and had many bad abdominal side effects. I'm told these are my

so confused and scared
hi there I don’t know if anyone can offer any help as I’m completely confused. Four years ago I had just a routine blood test and my liver function tests were through the roof. I had a liver biopsy which came back as clear so my gastro doc said it’s NAFLD and to lose a bit of weight and that was it.

normal ultrasound/raised GGT
As in my previous post my GGT was over 200 recently, My GP said to cut out alcohol and get it checked in 12 weeks, as I had pain on my right side he requested an ultrasound scan. I got fed up waiting so I've just paid for one this morning in a private scan clinic as I was worrying about my liver health
