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

Confession time with a light hearted ending š
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

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

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

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

Bilirubin and Urobilinogen levels
I was diagnosed with a fatty liver just before Christmas - I have always been a heavy drinker so followed doctors orders and have abstained from alcohol since and also been on a keto diet - I have lost over 2 stones so far. I have tested my Bilirubin and Urobilinogen levels using urine strips and both

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

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 isnāt too much information such as what stage of the disease has it been successful

My husband is refusing to go to hospital appointment
Hi , back story is my husband has drunk spirits regularly for years before we met 15 years ago over our time together he slowed down to a couple of beers a night or so I thought. Over this time I have found the odd empty bottle of whiskey hidden away. Back to the present day he drinks 2 glasses of wine
