GP failed to inform me of Chronic Hep C positive test result for 7 years?
I was diagnosed with Chronic Hep C in 2007 after my GP requested a blood test, as I was suffering with shortness of breath and severe anaemia symptoms. The results came back saying I had "chronic active hepatitis". Now, I would have thought that due to the severity and the fact it was a "Virus" that

Exhausted but happy.
I spent seven hours at the lung transplant clinic at Harefield yesterday. I was weighed and measured many times, sometimes with boots (dockers!) on sometimes off, ECG, echocardiogram, chest xray, blood tests, blood pressure test, lung function test, urine test, and finally mrsa test! Everone

COVID VACCINE MANDATE
My ex husband is in need of a kidney. He has been evaluated at 2 separate centers but they refuse to list him unless he gets the COVID vaccine. This seems an unreasonable requirement since the long term effects of the vaccine are unknown in kidney transplant patients. He will be looking into other

2D-SWE, influence of inflammation and alcohol?
Hello everyone. It is known that Fibroscan can offer false positive results in the presence of ongoing inflammation or active alcohol consumption, among other factors. But I haven't been able to find studies to support this for 2D-SWE. I had a 2D-SWE months ago that returned 7.5 kPa (F2 compatible

Does Tacrolimus cause forgetfulness for anyone?
I recently was speaking with a recent kidney transplant recipient, and he has memory lapses, sometimes forgetting conversations he's had. His nephrologist said it can be the Tacro as it is one of the possible side effects. He's being switched to another medication. I had not heard this, and just

Confession time with a light hearted ending 🐈
Well I've been over 11 years sober in February and not been on here for a while. So in my days of drinking I used to live with my ex girlfriend who lived in a ground floor flat, and she had a couple of cats, and this stray tom cat kept on jumping in the window and having its wicked way with her female

Liver Cirrhosis Update
Hi all, my wife had her third follow up today and we’ve been told the following: From the MRI, they believe that there is a narrowing of the inferor vena cava vein which transports blood from the liver to the heart. Due to this narrowing, the vein has formed new vessels to by pass the narrowing and

Phone consultation with consultant
My partner has just had an appointment with his consultant. He has cirrhosis, everything is going OK, he had a bout of ascites in October. That was controlled with medication, which he is now on permanently. He is diabetic but is now tablet controlled due to a massive loss of weight. He is keeping fit

New test reliable?
Hello everyone. I hope your Saturday is going well. I spoke with my GP this morning to receive blood test results. She said my liver tests are good, my ALT only 50. She explained they did a fairly new test too, called fibrosis 4, known as fib 4 and that assessed scarring of the liver. It was really low
