Back on the transplant list
Yesterday I returned to the lung transplant waiting list after an enforced break due to my Dad picking up his second bout of Covid. Fortunately, Lauren and I didn't get it, too. We've all been doing regular testing and we must have caught Dad's covid very early before he could unwittingly pass it on.

Resolved NAFLD / NASH in 6 months!
May 2022 5ft 7 at 234 pounds and 37 BMI. Started to not feel too great. After several investigations, seemed my liver was out of whack. Referred to a consultant and further tests showed elevated transaminases with u/s showing severe steatosis. Fibroscan commissioned by ‘senior Hepatologist’. Results

Fibroscan score 19.5. Awaiting appointment with consultant
Last year I was diagnosed as diabetic. Last month I had liver function tests and as a result sent for fibroscan. I was told that the score was 19.5 and I was F4 - cirrhosis. My GP would not comment as not a specialist in this field but has arranged for a full range of blood tests, liver scan and

Severe gastric problems- MMF?
I had my kidney transplant in June of 2021 and am currently taking 500mg cell-cept bid. I started to have stomach issues around the 4 month mark, and they have progressed to the point where my daily activities, sleep, and quality of life is impacted. Up until this point, I have felt terrific! I

Fatty Liver and Low White Blood Cell Count
Had a Gallstone attack back in 2007 that led to my Gallbladder being removed. 2 months prior my blood tests showed elevated GGT (79 and 97) and Bilirubin (26 and 23). All other LFTs normal. 2008 I was then diagnosed with Fatty Liver. GGT 112, Bilirubin 22 and ALT now elevated to 52. It’s been a struggle

How long for FIB4 results?
I had my most recent bloods on 31 October. All function tests came back within normal range, though Gamma GT high. I am still waiting on results of the FIB-4 test. Does it always take ages to come back from the lab? Without the FIB 4 result I have no idea what/if any fibrosis is present in my liver

Thought I’d give a little update on my ARLD journey. After 1 year of initial Fibroscan results which were CAP score 316 and 28.9 kpa elastography score, which shattered my world as it wasn’t expected. My latest results after abstaining from alcohol, which I may say has been oh-so difficult after

He continues to make slow improvements. Good days then bad days. He has been confused at times but that is improving slowly too. He is able to walk into the kitchen and bathroom using his walker. Eating small meals and generally more conversational. I saw my GP and he stated that my husband is still

Abuse of alcohol and liver concerns
Hello everyone! Hope I find you well. Long story short I've used to love drinking and I've always had tolerance towards it so I was consuming large amounts during my early 20's. Now Im 27y male and for the past two years I was literally addicted to alcohol and consumed alcohol almost everyday. At first

Very new and very confused
Hi there. Hubby has been a drinker for years and it appears that it has all caught up with him. He had his 5 year MOT back in August and was prescribed Folate, B12 compound and Thiamine but no info was given during his telephone consultation. About 3 weeks ago, I noticed his eyes were a bit yellowy
