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?

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
