ARTIFICIAL LIVER
Good news , maybe we don’t have to wait for a
liver
transplant
after all. I didn’t realise that machines existed that can carry out the function of the liver, at this stage they are external like kidney dialysis. Would think you have to hooked up permanently as the liver is always working.

Psychotic Episodes
Just had a very successful
liver
transplant
8 weeks ago and am in the very lucky position to feeling better than I have in years. Now everything has settled into a nice routine I just wanted to raise awareness to post op psychotic episodes.

New 'cirrhosee' with reading of 75 on Richter scale! H E L P
I would welcome responses from those who have similar condition, but who can enlighten me of the pitfalls that lie ahead and of good news stories of
liver
regeneration or
transplant
options after a 'top' score of 75. What about 'live' donors too?

Transplant Question
I’ve been wondering for awhile if kidney transplants are given once a person is past a certain age? I’m in the U.S. and I have a cousin who had severe liver disease. She was 75 & the state she lived in didn’t perform liver transplants on anyone over 68. I checked with my state, & liver transplants
