Hello
What's going on? Eventually got a fibroscan on Monday 11/4/22 after badgering my doc as I have just cleared hep c but no follow up. Just a telephone call to say I was clear. This is, of course, brilliant news. However I have been carrying the virus for 35 years. I am 53 now and have symptoms related

CT Scan unable to diagnose Liver Haemangioma vs malignant Tumours?
Can any kind folks help me out on this? I had some stomach pain issues and went for an endoscopy back in Nov 2021. The doc found Gastritis but also asked me to do an ultrasound.

Diagnosis Cirrhosis
Finally after 5 years of back and forth for labs I've been diagnosed with stage 1 cirrhosis no ascites,but I'm confused why doctors put energy into finding out but none into any type of treatment while it's still early!

Refusing Lung Transplant
A few weeks ago my wife's neurologist put her forward for consideration for lung transplant surgery. After consideration, my wife has declined as she feels it represents a great deal of change to her life, in which she is quite content. I go along with her wishes but wondered if this was a decision made

Low kidney function
My husband ckd his kidneys are at 18% and his kidney dr has told him she wants a face to face appointment next week and he's waiting for a urgent scan on them, dr has told him he may need to weigh up the options ,does that mean a transplant or dialysis

Covid -19, still a big risk for some - 2.
My wife Lyn a
liver
transplant
patient, having been double vaccinated caught COVID about the 1st September and passed away on the 14th. This was devastating as we all thought she had a degree of immunity as per the correspondence and references to websites we had.

Hepatic Encephalopathy
Does anyone know how long it would take to get a Hepatic encephalopathy diagnosis? My pal was hospitalised in August last year, deemed not to have capacity and put on a DOL’s. After 6 weeks he was moved into a care home with suspected Wernike Korsakoff. Neither diagnosis has been confirmed and it’s now
