SPIRONOLACTONE . WHEN CAN I STOP TAKING IT?
I'm eager to know others experience and advice about Spironolactone. I was prescribed it 2 years ago when I had Ascites. I have never had a repeat of Ascites since that time, have undergone surgery successfully unrelated to liver issues and had no problems post General Anaesthetic. In short I have been

Dexa scan
I had to have a Dexa scan last Wednesday, arranged by Endocrinologist I’ve only seen once and discharged at conclusion of the appointment. Saw GP yesterday (appt made nearly a month ago after Endo appt) who said I would need medication if osteoporosis identified in scan (as TSH suppressed!). The side

help with changing hospitals
hi, I’ve been listed for liver transplant in Birmingham. I’m currently being treated for cancer in Liverpool Aintree. They have made so many mistakes it’s unbelievable… They didn’t do bloods for hepatitis and after 16 months of cancer Birmingham discover this is the primary cause. They ruptured

It's spread to liver and bones. Any advice?
Good morning friends. @I was two treatments in to a clinical trial but the CAT scan yesterday discovered lesions in the liver, bone metestases and some adenopathies. I have been referred back to my own oncologist but in the meantime I am in limbo, wondering if this is the end of the line or if there

PBC/AIH1 Positive
Just as I was wrapping my head around my April PBC diagnosis and taking Urso (which does seem to me improving my liver enzyme levels) a liver biopsy also confirmed that I am also positive for autoimmune hepatitis type 1 (AIH1). I know PBC and other autoimmune conditions tend to run in packs. Does anyone

Diagnosing early cirrhosis / fibrosis / ALD
I apologise for the long post but I am finding myself in a really difficult position. I am 32 years old and have drank heavily over the past ten years, mostly binge drinking during weekends and holidays (4-5 weeks per year). Other than this I have been generally fit and healthy. In the past six months

Confusing fibroscan result
Hello all, just a quick update on my partner following his visit to the hepatologist for a check-up 7 months after his last visit. Back in February he had a fibroscan that gave him a score of 16kPa, which was F3 severe fibrosis. At the time he saw a different consultant, who put his original decompensated

Long time on wait list
Hoping to hear from people who waited a long time for a liver transplant. Husband has been on the list for 15 months now, and I'm not sure either of us can stand this much longer. He's been called once, about 3 months ago, so at least they haven't forgotten about him, but it's so hard watching him get

End of Life Memories
Thinking back to a year ago I was busy trying to turn an unused room filled with a lifetime of boxes into a habitable, useable bedroom for the arrival of a hospital bed before the hospital would allow mum to come home.

I don't know what to do :(
I was diagnosed with an underactive thyroid back in 2018. I assume it's autoimmune related as my anti body score was 410.8 but it's never been stated as such. My mum also has an underactive thyroid which I think is the main reason they started me on levothyroxin in the first place; 2 years before in
