Cirrhosis diagnosis
I have recently been diagnosed with cirrhosis following abnormal blood test and fibroscan. I am a non drinker, with a BMI 22.3. The specialist says I am one of the 5-7% of people with a fatty liver but not over weight and probably hereditary. This has come as a shock. I only had a blood test because

ELF Test
Hi I have just had my results back from my elf test it reads 9.97, which really did alarm me initially, I spoke to 2 hepatologist consultants and both have quite conflicting opinions, the first one who I will go back to for a follow up appointment I think is the most accurate, I had a fibro scan in

Non Alcoholic Liver Disease
I was diagnosed with Non Alcoholic Liver Disease Cirrhosis. Am I allowed to drink any type of alcohol or not. I’ve never been much of a drinker. Special Occasions Only. Normally I would drink WKD. Is that still okay to drink or should I stop altogether?

I've had it confirmed. I've got HCC.
So following on from my previous posts, I've been told the images on the MRI have shown HCC. It's currently a single, small but treatable area. I already have a shunt (my 2nd one) and I'm already in a transplant clinic for monitoring but not on the list or had assessment. My consultant has said when

so confused and scared
hi there I don’t know if anyone can offer any help as I’m completely confused. Four years ago I had just a routine blood test and my liver function tests were through the roof. I had a liver biopsy which came back as clear so my gastro doc said it’s NAFLD and to lose a bit of weight and that was it.

normal ultrasound/raised GGT
As in my previous post my GGT was over 200 recently, My GP said to cut out alcohol and get it checked in 12 weeks, as I had pain on my right side he requested an ultrasound scan. I got fed up waiting so I've just paid for one this morning in a private scan clinic as I was worrying about my liver health

Starting treatment soon.
First of all, I'm hep c positive, diagnosed decades ago. Everything has been 'good' until recently. I had some bloodwork done about a month ago. My liver enzymes spiked (they've always been good), so my GI doctor ordered a fibroscan. The result was a 13, so I was diagnosed as F3 via the scan. Since

E.D. with cirrhosis
Do any men here take E.D. medication who have cirrhosis? If so, what meds, what stage cirrhosis? Experience and advice please.Is tadalafil (Cialis) less harsh on the liver than sildenafil (Viagra)? Other options? Of course I won't take anything without being given by my doctor.

Statins and Fatty Liver
Can anyone give me some advice. I’ve been put on a statin for my cholesterol. My G.P then said we will do a blood test in two months to make sure it’s not effecting my liver. As someone with fatty liver (unsure if I still have it) and lots of health anxiety around my liver I’m worried.
