Fibrocscan results
Hi all. Thought I’d give an update after my previous few posts. Fibroscan results were good, 4.9 KPA - which I’m amazed at after my drinking history. Was told by the specialist to ignore my slightly elevated AST and to not bother keep testing it. Most likely muscle damage from the very physical job

Recent diagnosis
I’ve recently been diagnosed with cirrhosis and mild encephalopathy. There is also a suggestion that I may have autonomic failure. Has anyone had a similar diagnosis? I’m really frightened and am getting minimal support and advice from my doctors.

NHS failing
Well being diagnosed with Cirrhosis 22/09/2022, I had my first 6 monthly HCC scan 07/03/2023 I was strangely excited to see the hard work it had taken to lose 3 stone, completely abstain from alcohol, endoscopy exam clear & not a single symptom of my diagnosis! I was met with a STUDENT and the most uneducated

AMA M2 antibody, 26 years on told no sign of PBC - but life limited by extreme fatigue
I was told at that point by a doc at a well known London hospital that I probably had 5 years before needing a

function tests were normal.

Fibroscan of 9
I went to the BLT roadshow and had a scan and my score was 9. I’ve been a heavy drinker for years, so I knew it would be high., and I haven’t drunk since the scan on Monday. The clinician was lovely, and recommended I go to my GP to get blood tests but also said I shouldn’t be too concerned. Everything

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

Feeling a bit lost, fatty liver diagnosis maybe?
Hi everyone, Two weeks ago, I woke up with horrendous abdominal pain. After a trip to A&E and around the houses a bit, I was told there are some fat deposits in my liver and my liver blood tests were abnormal. As I'd ended up in a gallbladder dept, they confirmed it wasn't my gallbladder and they

Gamma GT
I was previously a heavy binge drinker, i had liver function tests which were ok but slightly raised GGT. I stopped drinking completely a couple of months ago and had the blood test again, it has risen rather than going down. i am otherwise very fit, healthy BMI and a good diet. Does anyone know why

GGT readings high
Hi, I have had problems with my GGT readings being high for 10 years and most doctors have ignored it. Now i have a specialist that wants to get to the bottom of what is causing this. I would say i am a moderate drinker which i have slowed down but the readings are still high. Had CT scan and all appears

PBC with Cirrhosis
I was diagnosed with PBC in 2016, I had 2 ARFI scans one in 2019 and one in 2020. Both of these showed F4 result. I did not get told that this was, in fact, Cirrhosis until September 2022 by a Consultant Heptatologist at a different hospital. As you can imagine this has left me feeling overwhelmed and

Anti Covid treatments for the Immuno-compromised
I wrote the following to my MP on 22nd November last David , we have corresponded about this many times, and I know you are sympathetic to the problem. Things are getting worse, not better, and despite covid numbers falling, many of us are having to become more and more cautious in our already restricted

British liver trust Roadshows
hi just wondering what the roadshows are like and how can you get scanned. My reason for asking is I have high gamma gt over 400, raised SAP over 150, serum alt level over 170, AST over 100. I have 57 week wait to see someone at my local hospital and my GP thinks I need a fibroscan. Ultrasound scan showed

High albumin?
What could cause slightly high albumin in blood? Just had some blood tests done and this was the only thing out of range. When I Google it, I only find dehydration as a possible cause. I drink a ton of water so this seems very unlikely to me. My past levels have always been within range. The doctor didn
