Diuretics no longer working
Can anyone give me any advice about treatment when diuretics stop being effective? Hubby in hospital for 3rd time in 3 months for another drain, bloods are showing kidney problems, and doctor has mentioned that the liver is now so badly damaged he may have diuretics resistant ascites. He's also showing

ggt 700
Hi, got a ggt reading of 700, I’m so worried about this, I have been a drinker in the past but as my levels have been rising I have been giving it up. A couple of wines on Xmas eve & new year but no more since & before that I had nothing for 5 weeks. Does this mean I have cirrhosis? Anyone in the same

Still no symptoms
Hi Nearly a year since being told I had decompensated cirrhosis, sadly I've not been able to stop the drinking but have given up the opiates. Still doing my best to pack in the drink but it's hard. cold turkey for opiates is so easy compared to alcohol. I still want my drugs but I can tell myself no

Fibrosis/ cirrhosis diagnosis
Bit of a long tale I'll try and condense. About a year ago I had two episodes of excruciating pain in my lower abdomen. Sent for camera at each end which found diverticulitis and Barratts osegephous. Told to lose weight and avoid certain foods. That was it. No further flare ups. No problems. Go back

Hi I am currently on the transplant list for cirrhosis of the liver due to PBC and alcohol - consuming a bottle of red wine every evening over probably 30 years. My consultant has said that they won’t know for definite which had most impact until they do a liver biopsy. 10 months after being diagnosed

This time last year
on the 22nd of December my partner went into hospital for what I thought would be an over night stay having suddenly developed Jaundice and ascites (although he had been ignoring symptoms of bruising and tiredness for weeks). I was able to visit him for the first time on Christmas Day, he was part way

My Father
Dear all, This is my first time posting. I’m feeling very lost and overwhelmed as my dad has been diagnosed with a decompensated liver from alcohol misuse only a couple of weeks ago.
