How fast can f2 fibrosis progress f4 cirrhosis?
Hello. I have another question; hoping someone can enlighten me. In 2019, F2 fibrosis with severe steatosis was diagnosed. Fast-forward to December 2021 and a fibroscan showed F4 cirrhosis. Can the liver degenerate that quickly? Either the initial 2019 assessment was underreporting or the December 2021

Massive setback…😡😢😡😢😡😢
Just got word from the transplant team that they now consider me too high a risk for a double lung transplant. As some of you may remember the assessment work up flagged up a calcification build up in a heart vessel ( LAD) which needed sorting. I subsequently went to the Harefield for angioplasty and

Transplant Assessment over and out (almost)

Prednisolone Withdrawal Symptoms
I was taking 15mg of Prednisolone and was then put on 9mg of Budesonide at the same time with the idea of stopping Pred & staying on Bud. Trouble is they told me to stop Pred abruptly after one week without tapering. Last night & today I feel very, very rough. The only way to describe it is like I've

Enlarged liver
Hi I have been told I have a mildly enlarged liver and fatty liver. The ultrasound was private and wasn't the best at relaying information. I knew I had a fatty liver but the enlarged bit has got me really worried. I don't know what it means. I've googled it but had to stop because it was taking me down

To do KT or not?
To those of you that has had a kidney transplant, do you think it is worth to do it, given all the possible complications and the high risk of developing cancer by taking immunosuppressants ? I am contemplating on undergoing pre- emptive KT but with of these possibilities , I am so nervous. Thanks
