Should something be done with a “moderately high” ALP?
Good moring! I had my bloods drawn last week and both ALT and AST went back to normal. My GGT came down but not normal, and ALP stayed the same as three months ago at 177 It was previously 385. (here, the ULN is 122). I have been on Urso for nine months, but only on the optimal dose for four months

So many emotions
Hi, newly diagnosed NAFLD Cirrhosis severe F4, also type 2 diabetic.Saw consultant last week with results of fibroscan, he wasn't very helpful, told me Google for information, he's arranging for an endoscopy which I'm petrified about to check for bleeding and cancer and said I need to loose weight. When

Thursday's Thoughts
I always try to chat about something I feel is important for everyone to know about. Today I want to go to something very basic - your Urso dosage.
1. Urso is the proven first line treatment for PBC and should be started as soon as PBC is suspected
2. The dose is

My husband is a 44M, 6'1, 20.5 stone (was 21.5st, recently lost a stone in a couple of months). He'd been feeling off since beginning of the year. Began getting neck and shoulder pain, saying he must have slept wrong but it's happening far too frequently for that to be the case. I did a urine dipstick

liver enzymes
I was overweight and drinking had high liver enzymes ast/alt ratio .5. I lost weight and stopped drinking enzymes returned to normal in 6-8 weeks. Was diagnosed with nafld as the probable cause. Does returning liver enzymes mean it is resolved

Questions to ask at first Hepatology appointment
Hello all,I finally have my first Hepatology clinic appointment this week. I've been waiting since the end of last year when I was referred by my GP following 'excessive fibrotic changes' being seen by the surgeon during gallbladder surgery. All LFTs were normal in January, and hepatitis and autoimmune

Liver lesion op.
Hi everyone I have finally had the lesion on my liver removed. Went OK and I feel surprisingly well after a 4 hour op. Only problem is I have to wait 4-6 weeks for the biopsy results. The surgeon said they also found a cavity where my gall bladder meets my bowel, had my gall bladder removed last

Fibroscan worries
Hello I wondered if anyone has had a Fibroscan result like mine - 349 CAP and 13.9 Kpa ? I’m very overweight but not much of a drinker and really worried the prognosis will be dire - I’ve a long wait before seeing a consultant. Does anyone know of this is likely to be cirrhosis and irreversible or

Tuesday's Tip
[i]
According to Dr. Jones' book sometimes people will stop taking their Urso because their liver function tests have returned to normal. If your liver enzymes have returned to the normal range it just means that the Urso is working. The PBC isn't cured - it is just controlled.
