416 members
We are a adult liver patient support group based at the Freeman Hospital in Newcastle upon Tyne, England. Whatever kind of liver disease you may have, we are here to support you. Whilst we will endeavour to assist you with any queries relating to liver disease it would be inappropraite for us to comment on liver function blood test as there are too many variables involved to generalise. Your hepatologist is the appropriate person to ask for advice in this instance.

Anticoagulation Support
3,797 members
The Anticoagulation Support community is for anyone impacted by a health condition such as atrial fibrillation, stroke, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), aortic heart valve replacement, antiphospholipid syndrome and thrombotic disorders. These conditions can increase the risk of blood clots or thrombosis and may require anticoagulation therapy to treat or prevent blood clots from happening. Anticoagulant therapy is sometimes described as a blood thinner and can be given for a short period of time (to prevent clots after hip and knee replacement surgery) or long term for people with thrombotic disorders to prevent recurrence of clotting episodes. Some people may be offered anticoagulation medication when they are being treated for cancer. Anyone requiring anticoagulation therapy should discuss medication options with a health care provider and be given adequate information around the duration and monitoring of the treatment provided. In the UK, there are several oral anticoagulant medications available - Apixaban, Dabigatran, Edoxaban, Rivaroxaban and Warfarin. Heparin is given by injection. Anticoagulation Support aims to help individuals engage with people who have lived experience of living with a condition and being treated with anticoagulants. The site is moderated by HealthUnlocked with input from an anticoagulation patient expert and an anticoagulation healthcare professional. For information about anticoagulation therapy and related conditions visit.... NHS website - https://www.nhs.uk/ National Institute of Health and Care Excellence(NICE) - https://www.nice.org.uk

FND Action
642 members
History has created a lot of misconception of Functional Neurological Disorders which has led to poor treatment and care of those diagnosed, which includes men, women and children of all ages. It is positive that the increase in awareness is slowly helping, but there is still a long way to go to ensure all those diagnosed are supported and cared for appropriately. FND Action is a charity registered in the UK that has been set up by a handful of people who themselves have been diagnosed with FND and/or NEAD. Our aim is to help those across the UK by providing a peer support network, ongoing advice and current information, and to work in collaboration with healthcare professionals to ensure the best care is offered for recovery and long term health management.
