DNA mutations impacting liver disease patients identified by Wellcome Sanger Institute and Cancer Research UK Cambridge Institute
From time to time I like to post up any interesting liver research that’s recently been concluded, that may be of interest to others. When I developed end-stage liver disease back in 2015, I became diabetic. No one could tell me why, or even which type of diabetes I had. The diabetic doctor told me it

THIRD SHOT BEING RECOMMENDED BY CDC FOR IMMUNOCOMPROMISED
As a follow up to my post last week about getting a third shot, news stories caught my eye yesterday that I thought I'd pass on. As a precursor to some who missed my first post, I took it on my own to get a third shot without authorization. Now it appears that the government in the US is likely to

Antibody infusions?
I know a young man in my community who received a kidney transplant a few years ago. I have heard thru mutual friends that he has been diagnosed with covid and in the hospital not doing too well. Anyway, this brings me to think about treatments...are transplant patients able to get the antibody infusions

theoretical question: lung transplant
Sorry if this question is of the "out there" type. If an asthmatic recipient receives a lung transplant from a non-asthmatic donor, would the recipient asthma be "cured"? I've read about the reciprocal phenomenon -- one gets asthma if the donor was an asthmatic. I am guessing compared living a lung transplant

Staying on the Path
After having multiple back surgeries I became extremely inactive afraid to move because of pain. This led to weight gain and I developed diabetes. That was my wake up call. Not being a fan of medication I began following a diabetic diet and through reading I found so much more information that I was

Hashimotos and PBC? Primary Billiary Cholangitis
Am working on a healthcare brief as a copywriter atm. This time for the autoimmune liver condition PBC. The premise is that PBC is a rare condition, but as it’s a major cause of liver transplants in the US, I tend to think many people are undiagnosed and it actually occurs quite frequently. With that

Should I do only kidney or pancreas as well?
I have been listed recently in august for kidney and pancreas transplant. I am type 2 diabetic and not on dialysis yet. I was not aware if my transplant doctor would list me for pancreas. I am not sure if I should go for pancreas transplant or keep only kidney. Having both increases risk? Any advise

Summary Paper from Drs, Claire N. Harrison and Donal P. McLornan
Nice summary I just came across from some of the experts. I've included some outtakes I found notable. Lots more in there on R&D for MF. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1111/bjh.16573 From chart, HCT control matters. This was discovered ~2011 and is likely a big part of what we've discussed

Hair Loss
Hi everyone, I have been on dialysis for 9 months. I am on the registry for a liver and kidney transplant. Along with other symptoms that so many of us suffer from, it is devastating that I have lost half of my hair : (( This started about 6 months into dialysis. Thyroid issues have been ruled out

Immense sweating
I am 2 yes 9 months post kidney transplant. Has anyone had issues with immense sweating that your hair is sopping wet? I thought it could be my thyroid but that’s not it. Apparently my blood work is stable. I’ve asked the transplant team, nephrologist and an Endochronogist….. no answers. I am wondering
