compensated cirrhosis
I know I’m the past year I’ve had lots of questions and concerns with the possibility of liver disease/cirrhosis. And this group has been very helpful. I’ve had multiple ultrasounds in the past few years. Some noting a minimally heterogeneous liver and the latest two note a normal appearing liver. I’

Liver Stent/Tips
Hi, I had a tips in May 2022, within 6 weeks it failed and I had urgent surgery to correct it in July 2022. I've been told my new TIPS is very big. Since then I have felt absolutely amazing. However, past week I've had a build up of ascities - not huge but enough to see my weight increase by 7lbs. I

Ggt of 110
Hello,The GP surgery phoned up yesterday just a day after I had an LTF. Apparently my GGT was 110 though the ATL only 29. Why would this be? I have cut back in the last six months (used to drink 25 units a week) but admit I did drink quite a bit of wine in December, Xmas etc. I also ate more sugars

Reading all your helpful posts I realise I have no facts about my husband's condition. You quote test results, levels etc, and we have nothing. Could be England vs Scotland or USA vs UK,private vs NHS, but we've not been given anything. He went into hospital recently with ascites and I think

Food question
Hello everyone I have been diagnosed with pbc for almost 2 years now. I am not sure which stage I am as I am too scared to get the biopsy. I am guessing its an early stage as my bilirubin and albumin are in the normal range and my doctor said so far my liver is ok. My problem is that I am struggling

spider nevi?
Had labs about a year ago and all was perfectly normal. I drank a bit heavily in the pandemic but have since slowed down and stoped completely this month. Anxiety is though the roof. No family history of liver issues, or pain or other symptoms to note of. Appreciate any advice, I’ll be seeing my doctor

I am helping my freind appeal his DOLs through the COP and his anxiety is through the roof and is worrying himself sick about what will be asked of him. He has cirrhosis and Hepatic Encephalopathy

Fibroscan today
Hello, In Jan 21, I was told I had fatty liver. With Covid and everything, I next saw the consultant in August 22. In the time between appts I had gained 25kg due, in part, to gyms being shut and a thyroid condition that I had only just been diagnosed with (though had for a while.) Today I had a

Fibroscan
I am 55 years. I have undergone liver scan and other tests on October 4, 2022. My doctor told the liver condition already progressed to early cirrhosis. Is there anyone please advise me how can I reverse the condition. Has the condition already gone beyond the control? Kader

calories or .....
Should I reduce calories and eat normal, or should I completely stay away from bread, soda, fats, cheese and sugar for second-degree cirrhosis of the liver? Should I limit less than 2000 calories to make the liver work without getting tired, even if I eat bread, or does that harm it even if the calories

Ascites / Paracentesis
I have posted before on how my husband has alcohol related cirrhosis. He stopped drinking the day he was admitted in the hospital, Aug 12, 2022. He remained there for 1 week. Since he has been released, his ascites has got worse. It has prevented him from eating and makes him very tired and hard

My son has his first appointment with Vanderbilt Hepatologist this week, anything I need to be aware of?
We have been told he doesn't need a
liver
transplant
yet from the GI physician. However, due to Covid and just how long it takes to get appointments for new patients, we wanted to get him established with a provider there in the event something changes quickly.

Looking for information
I had my kidney transplant April, 2019. In the last couple of months I have had issues with being so cold that I need a coat or a heating pad. Then after about half an hour, I am so warm it's almost as if I have a horrible sunburn, especially on my back. Is this from the anti-rejection meds?

Is it too late?
Hi Everyone, New here. Around the end of 2020 early 2021 I was diagnosed with severe fatty liver through fibroscan f3. Doc wanted to further test by making me an appointment for a liver biopsy. Well, I guess me being in denial, stubborn and fairly young (41 then). I decided to just change my diet
