Unsure how to proceed
so first , I’m in the US not UK so every single little thing medical is $$$. I’ve had pain in the liver area off and on honestly about 3 years now . More towards the back and it’s not really pain as much as heaviness feeling or fullness idk if that makes sense. The last few months seems like it’s getting

Listed but improving UKELD
This is a bit of a strange one. Partner has decompensated cirrhosis, listed about 4 weeks ago. We cried with relief when he was listed - he has been so poorly and had a heart scare (that turned out to be nothing when investigated) so were SO SO grateful to be listed. However UKELD has improved slowly

Terrible sleep - What do I need cortisol, liver, adrenals, perimenopause testing- all of them? Any advice please?

Moderate Fatty Liver with normal liver enzymes
I was diagnosed with NAFLD in 2018 while undergoing gallbladder removal surgery. I had been thin most of my life and had only “packed on the pounds” in the last 4-5 years, and wasn’t overweight at the time of the surgery, so she thought it was odd to see my liver so fatty. My PCP sent me for ultrasounds

Liver Stent/Tips
Hi, I had a tips in May 2022, within 6 weeks it failed and I had urgent surgery to correct it in July 2022. I've been told my new TIPS is very big. Since then I have felt absolutely amazing. However, past week I've had a build up of ascities - not huge but enough to see my weight increase by 7lbs. I

Ggt of 110
Hello,The GP surgery phoned up yesterday just a day after I had an LTF. Apparently my GGT was 110 though the ATL only 29. Why would this be? I have cut back in the last six months (used to drink 25 units a week) but admit I did drink quite a bit of wine in December, Xmas etc. I also ate more sugars

spider nevi?
Had labs about a year ago and all was perfectly normal. I drank a bit heavily in the pandemic but have since slowed down and stoped completely this month. Anxiety is though the roof. No family history of liver issues, or pain or other symptoms to note of. Appreciate any advice, I’ll be seeing my doctor

No figures
Reading all your helpful posts I realise I have no facts about my husband's condition. You quote test results, levels etc, and we have nothing. Could be England vs Scotland or USA vs UK,private vs NHS, but we've not been given anything. He went into hospital recently with ascites and I think

Food question
Hello everyone I have been diagnosed with pbc for almost 2 years now. I am not sure which stage I am as I am too scared to get the biopsy. I am guessing its an early stage as my bilirubin and albumin are in the normal range and my doctor said so far my liver is ok. My problem is that I am struggling

I am 55 years. I have undergone liver scan and other tests on October 4, 2022. My doctor told the liver condition already progressed to early cirrhosis. Is there anyone please advise me how can I reverse the condition. Has the condition already gone beyond the control? Kader

calories or .....
Should I reduce calories and eat normal, or should I completely stay away from bread, soda, fats, cheese and sugar for second-degree cirrhosis of the liver? Should I limit less than 2000 calories to make the liver work without getting tired, even if I eat bread, or does that harm it even if the calories
