IS CHRONIC CIRROSIS A DEATH SENTENCE?
Forum members, My son who is 34 is in hospital with this condition. He has been an alcohol abuser for many years, and this is his first admittance to hospital. If his liver cannot recover or repair itself, and without having a liver transplant, is there no hope for our sons recovery? Worried Woollid

As of yesterday..I’m on the national registry!
I’ve been absent from the forum for a while due to illness. A month after I lost my husband, I ended up in the ICU. My H and H was 6 and 19 I think. I was bleeding from my esophageal varicies. They identified the bleed and tied them off. My liver was close to not functioning at all, and because of the

Anxious about liver fibroscan results!
I have had fatty liver disease and now NASH (presumably). I have had 3 fibroscans 6 months apart and I'm now Stage 3 Fibrosis. kPa was 5.4, then 7.5 and now 11.4. CAP was 328, 306, and now 216. I am scared out of my mind. I just retired, and I feel like I'm going to drop dead in a year now. I'm not ready
