My son was diagnosed with Biliria Artresia at first month after birth. He underwent Kasai procedure at 2nd month. After that his stools are normal and bilirubin is under control. But recently he passed black stools and sometimes blood in the stool. His bilirubin is 0.4 and SGPT is 108 and SGOT is 84.

Gall bladder surgery
Hello guys I hope you all are doing well. Three days back I got my gallbladder removed because of the stone. Is there anyone who got it done after a kidney transplant?

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

Fluid around liver post transplant
Hi, I'm 2 years post

Doxazosin
I was diagnosed with compensated cirrhosis in 2017. Today I was prescribed Doxazosin, an alpha blocker, for palpitations and hypertension. This is supplementary to the Irbesartan and Felodipine I've been on for many years. But I'm not happy with the leaflet on the medication, which lists liver problems

Stage 4 Cirrhosis can be compensated?
My husband was diagnosed with Cirrhosis via liver biopsy. He is 65 years old. The liver specialist says the biopsy indicates Stage 4 cirrhosis. His fibrosis was also stage 4. But liver specialist also says his liver is compensated? How can this be? He has been prescribed lactulose, spirolactone

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

BUN/creatinine
I saw that my BUN level was low . At what stage of cirrhosis would cause a low BUN? And BUN/creatinine ratio? I’m hoping it’s just low from being well hydrated but I read liver cirrhosis can also be a cause and I had a few other numbers low or high.

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

My hepatologist told me that it is due to long years of being obese… he said just to lose weight and there is no medication that can reverse this, saying a
