Coughing and varices
Hi I'm back again. I have Cirrhosis and small amount of oesophageal varices. I also have COPD so tend to cough quite a lot, mostly at night. I'm finding lately that my coughing has got a lot worse. Could this be caused by the varices? I don't actually think my COPD has worsened as my breathing is

Type Two Diabetes - “Some artificial sweeteners can raise your blood sugar”
(I should point out that some people with type II diabetes have been able to reverse their diabetes post-
liver
transplant
and are now no longer diabetic. But we aren’t all the same).

More about Dexascan / AA / Adcal
I opened up intending to post about my latest AA Prescription dilemma - and still would like some advice. I wasn't sure whether to add to Blackcat1M's post - but it seemed a bit rude to invade her space! Anyhow, my GP prescribed me AA and Adcal -D3 early May on basis I had been on Pred since PMR arrived

The Constitution of Medical Knowledge (Part 1 of 3)
Patients are often confused by seemingly conflicting findings of studies, or equally good doctors recommending different treatment plans. How are we to decide? Medical science is a process created by a “reality-based community” to help decide such questions. Science isn’t just hypothesis-testing with

Diagnose Liver Cirrhosis
I've told before that I doubted my diagnose concerning my liver. You can read my previous posts if u would like to. I remember two and a half years ago I had highly elevated values in my blood, a swolen, painfull liver and I could feel my spleen. Further I told the specialist I had blood coming from

Please have blood tests if taking medication - Pentasa.
My GP prescribed me Pentasa for my Ulcerative Colitis. I took this for approx 10 years. My GP never requested any blood tests in this time. This medication was slowly killing off my kidney function. In 2017 I was admitted to hospital with a 9% kidney function. I stopped Pentasa and my kidneys improved

Deranged Liver Enzymes
I have been having blood tests repeated every 2 months due to raised levels once again they have came back raised and the GP has asked to have the repeated again on Tuesday. I'm becoming more concerned as the GP doesn't seem to be referring this to anyone and I have tried to make an appointment but

Gallbladder issues
I was just curious to see how many members had issues with their gallbladder? I know of two friends who have had kidney transplants and they both had their gallbladder removed previously. I myself had my gallbladder removed the same year I was diagnosed with kidney disease. I suffered with gallbladder

UKELD at the time of transplant or listing
hi, my partner is due shortly to have his assessment at the Royal Free. He is 7 months post diagnosis for alcohol related decompensated cirrhosis. Bloods were static so they felt he was as good as he was going to get so was referred for assessment. HOWEVER over the last 6 weeks UKELD has gone from 60

Giving up driving...
Hi I just needed to vent a bit and ask for advice on how to handle something. My husband has decompensated alcohol related liver disease. Cirrhosis, regularly gets new varices banded etc. He has been seen by the QE transplant team but his UKELD score is only 52 so they aren't assessing him yet and
