hepatitis to cirrhosis
Is it possible for an alcoholic to progress to cirrhosis without ever having alcoholic hepatitis? What are the chances of someone who heavily drinks to get cirrhosis without warning signs before it gets to that point?

Turning things around
I just wanted to write to show other readers that you can turn things around. I wrote on here a couple of weeks ago venting frustration at the lack of communication regarding test results and finally got to see a consultant yesterday. I was admitted to hospital in May last year via A & E and was

Compensated or Decompensated
I was diagnosed in May 2019 with Cirrhosis and my Hepatologist told me it was Compensated and I would be monitored in the liver clinic every 6 months (the pandemic put paid to that plan). I've subsequently had two endoscopies which show six varices, one of which shows some evidence of past bleeding.

Has anyone had Covid post-transplant?
I am finding my anxiety about Covid is impacting the quality of my life. I have periods of generalized anxiety where EVERYTHING scares me: from Global Warming to the drought in the western states to my husband dying and leaving me alone. After much thought, I think it all stems from the onset of Covid

Stem cell transplant starts on Monday
A bit of background - In October 2021 I had a rapid and florid relapse following the end of my Ibrutinib treatment in FLAIR so I was started on Acalabrutinib with no effect and also had investigations for Richter's. Tests showed that I was resistant to the currently available BTKi's (two synergistic

Anyone with gastroparesis?
Hi all. I have gastroparesis (slow emptying of the stomach). This started when I went into failure in fall 2021, and just after my first and only bout of diverticulitis. I am now even wondering if what I had was that. Anyway, I received a kidney transplant in August 2022 and am doing well except for

Liver Disease Reversal
Seen in the Daily Mail today British designed dialysis machine can be used on liver patients and appears to reverse the disease doing away with the need for a transplant. It should be available in three years. There isn’t too much information such as what stage of the disease has it been successful

post lung transplant
I have recently been accepted on the lung transplant list (November). I would value any advise/experience on the subject. I apparently have a very good blood group thus estimated waiting 50% 6 months, 80% 12 months. Thank you in advance Paul.

vegetarian diet that comprises plant lectins is related to a greater incidence of PD compared to a diet dominated by meat consumption
So if you Google "vegetarian risk Parkinson's" you will be flooded with articles saying that vegetarian is best for PD and that PD risk is lower for vegetarians. I am not disputing this. But... I was reading this very short paper: https://sci-hub.st/10.1016/S0016-5085(14)60326-7

missed diagnosis
hi all. I was diagnosed with Hep C in 2020 after being referred to specialist due to results of some routine blood tests. It’s most likely that it was a result of a blood transfusion in 1986. Following treatment I am now clear of the virus but sadly have developed cirrhosis. I have a life policy that

I have been diagnosed with autoimmune hepatitis and my consultant is saying that my most recent scan suggests more scaring than they previously thought . I need to stay on steroids now for longer and then reduce more slowly. My blood tests are all good and I feel well but this has scared me . I should
