What is normal?
Hi, I was diagnosed with cirrhosis last month and I’ve received my first blood test results from the hospital. They say some are raised, some are normal and some improved but give no indication of what normal should be. Does anyone know what the optimum levels should be for ALT. ALP, AST, bilirubin,

Normal scans, mostly normal blood tests. Can you still have HE?
I have had abnormal LFTs for 2.5 years (that I know of - no tests before). Normal ultrasounds x4, normal HIDA, normal CT scan, normal fibroscans x2 showing F0 and approx 240 CAP. An MRCP showed sludge when I was pregnant. I went and got my gallbladder out which showed chronic cholestasis but nothing

PVCs - benign but ruddy hard work
I read often here that ectopic beats are benign and of no concern. Well, last week my hiatus hernia flared up and, swiftly following on, and as usual, so did my heart arrhythmias. So far no AF but oh my - “PVC”s galore. To me, these feel little different from AF - so very wearing and with the same chest

Husband being sick
Hi to you kind people. I posted a couple of weeks back about my husband being hospitalised with AH last year and then a fibroscan showing early Cirrhosis. He has continued to drink and started being sick today with bad stomach pain and has not eaten for 3 days and has slept an awful lot. Is this the

Afib or palpitations?
Once in a while I get very irregular heartbeats after I go to bed at night. My Dr. said they are palpitations and not afib and did not occur during the 24 hour holter monitor, but I noticed a pattern as to when they occur: always after a very salty and probably MSG restaurant meal and a few drinks with

Hypothyroidism is prevalent among adult women with chronic lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS)
A very recent paper with a potentially important indicator of hypothyroidism. My conclusion is that chronic LUTS should automatically be given a full thyroid panel (unless already diagnosed hypothyroid). One third is a very large proportion. Also, need to consider the current treatment of those who

Af gone(for the minute) new problem now,pvcs.
Hello everybody, had to go to A&E last night because I was having PVCS nearly every other beat, not causing chest pain but very uncomfortable and anxiety inducing. Bloods came back normal. I have a holter monitor coming on Tuesday, 72 hours and an echo coming up at the Brompton possibly an mri too. They

Some clarity please!
Like most people who’ve posted here, I was (and still am) creeped-out by my fibroscan scan results in December 2021 of F4 cirrhosis. I’m told I’m well-compensated and haven’t experienced any symptoms or abnormal blood labs except for very high liver enzymes. My question is: does the natural progression

Ventricular tachycardia and ablation for PVCs
Hi I’m due to see my EP in June to discuss catheter ablation for ventricular tachycardia and PVCs. Has anyone had a VT ablation or An ablation just for PVCs ?

LFT results
I recently had LFT done. All came back in normal range except my albumin was 39 albeit in range that’s the lowest I’ve had. I’ve been worried about the amount I’ve drunk over the years. Always wine approx 30 units a week. I do not have any symptoms. I’ve read you can have cirrhosis withoutsymptoms

Ablation Date 28th May 2022
Hi all, Currently a difficult time, my heart is going nuts for the past two weeks. Had 140 BPM AF yesterday and in between all that LOADS of 'Unclassified' on Kardia which are groups of PACs and PVCs driving me nuts. Anyone had their symptoms worsen the longer you are on Apixaban? Currently on 200MG

Supraventricular tachycardia post ablation
Hi all, has anyone developed supraventricular tachycardia after ablation for PVCs? Can these make one very dizzy? Post procedure I have had several episodes recorded on the 5day holter. Before the procedure I didn't have these. I am 41yrs and take 2.5mg bisoprolol, 80mg telmisartan and 1.5mg indapamide

Hi. I have been taking Flecainide for 10 days now 50mg twice daily for PVCs and none sustained runs of VT. They haven’t worked has much than I thought they would. My EP said if the Flecainide don’t work then I could have an ablation. I was just wondering what the odds are if the ablation making my PVCs
