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

Do I really have PBC?
Sorry, I know this question has been asked before but I'm seeking a bit of clarity. I'm one of the lucky ones in that I have no ill health related to PBC and I do feel for those of you suffering so much. Back around 2001, I was found to have AMAs after a blood test for another reason. No unusual LFTs

Blood in Urine
Over the last couple of months, I have had blood in my urine on three occasions. No other symptoms. Is this down to my cirrhosis, and if so, what causes it? I've had cirrhosis for six years and this has only recently started to happen. I should add that I recently had several scans to investigate a

HCC Any New Up to Date Recommendations?
If one is to qualify for a
liver
transplant
you can not have had any systemic treatment which includes Immunotherapy. I can move forward with the Y-90. I am an otherwise 68 year old healthy female with no other
liver
disease or major health issues.

Refaxamin
I have
liver
cirrhosis and was considered twice for a
transplant
, I haven’t had any alcohol for 2 years now, but I am taking refaxamin and lactalose to stop HE which I haven’t had for a year and a half. Do you know if I have to continue with the refaxamin for the rest of my life.

Liver fibrosis
I have liver fibrosis after having hepatitis c. I got the hep c through contaminated blood products namely factor 8. I am suffering from pain under my right breast, which may be gallbladder issues. The Doctor told me it can't be liver pain as the liver has no nerves therefor can't get pain there. This

Non driving gene mutation-ASXL1
I have MF with JAK2 V617F for 10 years, now is taking Ruxotinib and Interferon . Spleen contraction and blood control are good. Although I took a lot of hormones, at least my fibrosis degree has been reversed, and the mutation rate has also decreased a lot. But I was found I have a new bad prognosis

Liver Transplant Recipients
If you're a
liver
transplant
recipient, please consider taking part in a new study by NHS Blood and Transplant and Imperial College. The ‘MELODY’ study is looking into the antibody response to COVID-19 in people who are immunosuppressed and vaccinated.

mercaptopurine
I've had another flare of my AIH and they've started me on mercaptopurine daily. I was wondering what help & advice any 6MP users could give me. Experiences, side effects, do's & dont's? I'm nervous about taking it after having a bad reaction to azathioprine. Feel okay so far tho.

Hello, I’ve got a relative who suffers from cirrhosis badly and isn’t in a good health. Unfortunately they refuse to quit the booze and a transplant is out the window. A ticking time bomb you could say. This relative is not very honest and seems to act as if there’s no problem however will attend his

Comparison can be good for the soul...
I do not often write on here but it seemed these musing may be of interest to others so here goes... ONE of the great advantages I find from attending the courses run by the Pulmonary Rehabilitation Service (PRS) is comparison. And after today's session I feel encouraged. Not that I am significantly
