Silychristin, a Flavonolignan Derived From the Milk Thistle, Is a Potent Inhibitor of the Thyroid Hormone Transporter MCT8
We have seen many claims for Milk Thistle over the years. Often suggested for people with liver-related issues. But the only person I know who tried it felt unwell from taking it. So I have long been cautious. This paper identifies a potentially significant issue with a constituent of Milk Thistle

Fibroscan referrals
My wife and I took advantage of a Fibroscan Roadshow this week. Mine was normal but wife has reading of 12.2 kPa and an 1QR 47. The clinician who took my wife’s reading had a great deal of difficulty in getting the right position to get a reading from her liver. It took over 10 minutes! The results

Fibroscan vs CT scan for cirrhosis diagnostics
I will ask this question to my consultant but since I won't see him in the next 2 months, I'll go ahead and ask here in case anyone knows. As I understand, Fibroscan can correctly show the fibrosis reading of, let's say 6.5 kPa, but CT scan can still detect liver nodularity and scarring which corresponds

Experimental treatment for PD
Does anyone know anything about the clinical trials going on in the UK with Ambroxol as a treatment for PD (a repurposed cough medicine)? The preliminary results look good, but I can't find anything after 2021.

Cirrhosis!
silly question but I was wondering if anyone ever was told that they have cirrhosis and one day it all got cleared? Is it possible for the liver to heal once it has cirrhosis and if anyone has the experience of this then please share the treatment or life style changes you may have adopted. Many thanks

Recent deterioration
I have an autoimmune liver disease called Nodular Regenerative Hyperplasia. This is caused by a primary immune condition called Common Variable Immune Deficiency. I have deteriorated slowly over 10 years and the phrase “ advanced liver disease” was used for the first time in September. A few weeks

imuran
I have been on Imuran 50mg for over 3 years and will be on it another 2 for autoimmune hepatitis. I also have PBC and take ursodiol for that. Imuran has lowered my liver levels and has kept them stable for me. It suppresses your immune system but it’s manageable. My dr is hoping that after being on it

Worried: The word 'Cirrhotic'
Delighted I found this forum. Ive had high ferritin for a number of years (450 or so). Various tests done, not haemoochromitosis. Suspected NAFLD. I had an Ultrasound done in may this year, followed by an MRI. Was told result of Ultrasound was very fatty concentration in one corner of liver and then

imuran /Azathioprine
i’ve been started on Imuran/Azathioprine, for arthritis. I will have to be monitored closely, with labs due to my PBC.

Can ultrasound detect cirrhosis?
hi all I’ve had a clear ultrasound but I have high high serum ferritin. GP referring me for a fibroscan and I’m really worried I might have cirrhosis. Anyone know how good ultrasound is at detecting cirrhosis??? Ive been drinking at least a bottle of wine daily for about 6 years with very few days off

Update on hubby Nov 2022
Hubby saw Hepatology Registrar yesterday. We have some great news to share. Hubbys liver is no longer Decompensated, it is now compensated 🎉 so he has gone from stage 4 ARLD to stage 3 ARLD 🎉. The hepatic encephalopathy systems have gone, so he is no longer on that medication. The Ascites & Odeoma

Update on transplant
So we had the follow up appointment this week with the transplant team. My husband has been on Rifaxomin since our last appointment 6 weeks ago, which he has responded really well to - thus confirms the diagnosis of mild HE. Happily, he hasnt had typical symtoms, just incredible fatigue, sleepiness and

ELF Test (Enhanced Liver Fibrosis)
Has anyone here had this test? I saw a different hepatologist and he ordered this lab. From what I understand, it measures 3 molecules in the liver matrix metabolism and gives a score reflecting the severity of fibrosis. They say it is so accurate it is beginning to replace liver biopsies.

ICU stay
I was admitted to hospital at the end of April after months of nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea and fatigue. I remember the ambulance but not entering the hospital. I was placed in an induced coma and ventilated for five days due to extensive brain swelling, respiratory distress, suspected abdominal sepsis
