Liver Transplant Pre / Post op
Just found out I need a
liver
transplant
in two years. Non drinker,
liver
disease undiagnosed for 20 years but it looks like its finally packing up. Does anyone live in the Cardiff / South Wales area who may have been through this process so I can get a handle on what I've got coming my way.

My Father
Dear all, This is my first time posting. I’m feeling very lost and overwhelmed as my dad has been diagnosed with a decompensated liver from alcohol misuse only a couple of weeks ago. The consultant told us he could one day become compensated but it’s too early to tell. He is currently abiding to strict

38 year old brother with varices
Hi there. My brother is 38 and has stage 4 liver chirossis. I have just found out he has esophgeal varices following his Ascites and he’s already vomited blood. From what I am reading his life expectancy when this happens is very short? The doctors have yet to tell me this though. My heart is broken

Compeensated or decompensated
Hi there, I was diagnosed with decompensated cirrhosis 15 months ago after having blood tests and CT scan. My doctor has now told me after a recent telephone appointment that my liver has fully recovered after abstinence of alcohol and cigarettes and healthy diet ,although scarring will always remain

Fibroscan today
Hi My husband had a
liver
transplant
in 2019 and has started to feel unwell again. He had a fibroscan today and his results were 4.4 but am unsure what that means.

Kidney biopsy for elevated creatinine
My 68 yr old husband had a kidney transplant 7 weeks ago. We are at the hospital now getting a biopsy due to his rising creatinine levels. I have been so worried that his body is rejecting the new kidney, but after reading these informative posts, I am hopeful and less nervous.

A simple question on Cirrhosis..
When I last had tests 3 years ago my doctor felt my liver and said, ‘That feels lovely and soft’, and when I had a CT scan 7 years ago another doctor there also felt my liver and said it felt perfectly OK to him, too, Whilst I know that a doctor needs to have proper test results to hand before making

Travel insurance within the UK.
I'm travelling from Essex to Belfast next month and am looking for travel insurance. With belfast being in the UK I wonder if I actually need cover anyway. I am over 200 days post stem cell transplant and it will be my first time travelling abroad as such since the start of covid in 2020. I am considering
