ATG treatment /Rabbit antigens
Hi as previously explained I am awaiting bone marrow transplant. Have been told I will need rabbit antigens or ATG ahead of the process. From what the consultant has said it can cause lots of side effects eg high temp amongst other things. Has anybody else had this treatment? Thanks Joanne

Liver Biopsy and AI
Hello everyone! My initial diagnosis is F3-F4 alcohol-related fibrosis (but they were leaning more towards F4 cirrhosis with 17.8 kPa reading). My antibody markers were continuously high in the past 1.5 years. My doctor suggests liver biopsy to determine if this can be related to AIH at the same time

blood test bingo!
I've just been to Bristol stem cell department in preparation for a possible Stem cell transplant. I had to have 14 phials of blood taken for tests. Is this a record at one sitting? !!

In the Rush to Return to ‘Normal,’ What Happens to the Vulnerable? By Sarah Wildman in NYT 04/10/22
Ever since I moved to the precarious side of society (my 13-year-old daughter received a
liver
transplant
as part of her cancer treatment in March 2020), I have been thinking about what we owe the vulnerable. I constantly wonder: Was I truly aware of such precarity before I found myself here?

Fibroscan and liver biopsy discordance. Which one is more accurate?
My liver biopsy is F3 fibrosis but fibroscan value is F0 fibrosis. I confused. Which one is more accurate? I searched in in internet they say fibroscan is scan more liver area than biopsy sample. Was it localized fibrosis?

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in some cases may actually be alcoholic liver disease (ALD).
Perhaps this information has already been published on the forum. It seemed to me very interesting and worthy of attention. Excess fat in the liver cells can accumulate due to chronic poisoning with some substances - and most often this substance is alcohol. But fatty liver disease is very common in

How is he still functioning?
My soon-to-be-ex husband was hospitalized in July 2020 with acute alcohol hepatitis. He was sober (mostly) for about 9 months and was told his liver was completely fine (5.7kpa in Sept of 2021). He began drinking again and in March of 2022 his scan went up to 10 kpa. He started drinking amounts I've

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).

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
