Newbie looking for advice on recent test result
I was diagnosed with an underactive thyroid in april 2022. What a rollercoaster! Do I have an autoimmune thyroid disorder? My first test was looking at reason for a change in bowel movements and fatigue. Doctor responded directly to the TSH level and placed me on 25mg levothyroxine. Serum

UKELD at the time of transplant or listing
hi, my partner is due shortly to have his assessment at the Royal Free. He is 7 months post diagnosis for alcohol related decompensated cirrhosis. Bloods were static so they felt he was as good as he was going to get so was referred for assessment. HOWEVER over the last 6 weeks UKELD has gone from 60

Taking a Long Haul flight with Varices?

hello, partner due at the royal free next week and as part of evaluation has been booked for a right heart catheter. Has anyone had one, is it awful? How quickly did you recover. He was expecting to have to have one so its not a terrible shock

Do I really have PBC?
Sorry, I know this question has been asked before but I'm seeking a bit of clarity. I'm one of the lucky ones in that I have no ill health related to PBC and I do feel for those of you suffering so much. Back around 2001, I was found to have AMAs after a blood test for another reason. No unusual LFTs

Liver fibrosis
I have liver fibrosis after having hepatitis c. I got the hep c through contaminated blood products namely factor 8. I am suffering from pain under my right breast, which may be gallbladder issues.
