US Scan
Just had ultrasound scan and radiographer said no enlarged liver and spleen is normal. But the liver surface was not smooth. I know I have fibrosis. Will this be the cause? And how bad can it be to show up on scan?

Newly Diagnosed
After a battery of tests, I've recently been diagnosed with end stage cirrhosis according to my doctor, but haven't yet seen a specialist or had a biopsy. Hopefully someone can help answer a few questions until I get seen. Is final stage cirrhosis life limiting and what is life expectancy? How will I

Traveling on a plane with liver cirrhosis and portal hypertension
Hi I’m new to all this. My partner was diagnosed with liver cirrhosis back in may 2022 and spent 7 weeks in hospital. In February this year he was taken into intensive care with a GI bleed and needed blood transfusions and was told he had portal hypertension. He had a follow up endoscopy 4 weeks later

Alpha fetoprotein test for cirrhosis patients??
Hi, is it standard for this test to be done every 6 months with the liver scan? I've just had my bloods done (post liver scan and pre consultant appointment) and spotted that I have been tested for this for the first time and the results are hidden from my Patient Knows Best account ... should I be worried

any advice on choice of blood thinners please ?
unfortunately the Kardia mobile I bought ( thanks so much all of you for the advice on this) has confirmed that I am having regular episodes of AF ( bit not this time fast AF) followed by SR with ( sequentially wide QRS and PVCs and Supraventricular ectopy. This latter now appears to be the default

ALBUMIN and EDEMA and COMPRESSION SOCKS - oh my!
partner diagnosed decompensated cirrhosis 22.12.21 - stopped drinking the same day. Albumin 18 at diagnosis, 24 at best since now dipped again to 22. How long did people's albumin take to recover - is it normally so slow to improve - in contrast bilirubin gone from 256 to 58 since Dec. He is having

Heat hurting heart?
hey heart friends, Is anyone finding this heat is hurting them (for those in UK)? My heart was funky last night and tonight my stomach is crunching and painful (maybe dodgy rice!). Just finding this weather quite hard on my PVCs, which are already at tens of thousands a day. Also, for anyone who

update on the ecg I posted 2 weeks ago!
so was at cardiologist today for my 3 month post ablation follow up for AF. He’s thinking there is a good chance the AF has gone. I showed him the ecg traces from my Apple Watch which some of you had suggested bigeminy PVCs and that’s exactly what they are. He has me on a 24 hour monitor just now to

Paroxysmal AF with new Widening QRS and RBBB.
Hello All: This is my first post. I have become used to my paroxysmal AFIB (don't like it but am used to it), however, I have become increasingly concerned about my very recent increase in my QRS. My EKGs have always be normal except for the AFIB and PVC's etc. But in the last three months (I'm 58

Previous platelets...
Just looking back through my medical records and I noticed a blood test I had done for unrelated reasons to my liver(all LFTs etc normal) in 2015,my platelets were at 138k. That’s what they are now? Could I just have low platelets then? Interesting.......

Cheerful news
I have posted a few times before with questions. Today is a cheerful post. I have decompensated cirrhosis with varices and ascites. I had a stint in rehab in January which I actually enjoyed quite a lot of (it cost a lot though) I was on 6-8 weekly gastroscopies, usually with banding because of two life

5% PVCs
Is 5% PVCs, with a normal sinus rythm, after 24 ecg OK? I have no idea whether it can be dangerous or not as nobody in the medical field said anything to me either way!

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!

Good afternoon you lot, how long have you had to wait for echo results, I’ve chased the ep nurses and haven’t heard a thing. I had my echo on the 8th of June, I am taking 2.5mg of bisoprolol morning and night and sometimes my resting heart rate is low 40’s. Taking the blockers for pvcs which are still
