Liver Fibrosis F3
Hi new on here. Had a positive chat to the British Liver Trust for my F3 Fibrosis. I was told they caught it before it turned to Cirrhosis and that it can be reversed with diet as mine is probably linked to being overweight and Fatty Liver. I have been diagnosed with GAVE (aka Watermelon Stomach)

Gastroscopy to check for varices
Right, I'm at the next step in my Alcohol Related Liver Disease Journey. After being advised in February that I may have Cirrhosis and portal hypertension I ceased drinking. Have done quite well with a couple of relapses with visitors, just the one day each time then back on the wagon. I had the ultra

It remains enigmatic.
Hallo Everyone, and Thank you again to Fibro2021, I have read your very numerous and various responses to people, and admire your clarity and that you never patronize! I begin to see how hypertensive portal gastropathy, is somewhat serious, perhaps more serious than that which is occuring in my colon

Urso and pain
I have been taking urso now for 6 months. I still get a pain almost daily in my liver area. Sometimes it's a sharp stab that makes jump and other times it's just a dull ache. I wonder to myself when it happens is my liver getting worse and its constantly on my mind. Does this happen to anybody else?

Methotrexate and A1AD caused cirrhosis
Hello! I’ve had rheumatoid arthritis for 27 years (since I was 25) and the medication I took was methotrexate. Four years ago I had a fatty liver and was told to stop the methotrexate, loose a bit of weight and cut down drinking. I followed the advice and as far as I was aware, my liver went back to

decompensated cirrhosis - aching
Partner diagnosed 22.12.22 decompensated alcohol related cirrhosis. Stopped drinking then. Bloods slowly improving until a bit of a crisis 3 weeks ago when he was suffering from awful edema (he previously couldn't take water tablets due to low sodium). He is back home and bloods are now looking better

Cirrhosis LFTs came back as normal but still worried
I spoke with my consultant today as I'd not had my blood results from last month. He told me my Liver function tests showed now as normal but said I'm probably still border line decompensated as LFTs don't matter. I asked him about hypertension as I have normal portal vein flow and normal flow through

Just when it's now safe to go out, a note of caution.
I first posted this up two years ago as a timely reminder. All those who have received a liver transplant (like myself) or who have a suppressed immune system will know how important skin protection is at this time of year. It can feel like we are having to doubly protect ourselves. Having got through

Me again!!
Just something niggling me so sorry for troubling the forum but I just need things to be clear so I can deal with my illness without being in constant worry. My fibroscan result was a reading of 36.6. I was told that I had NASH with Fibrosis but it is compensated. If it was cirrhosis, would he have told

Is fibrosis f2 reversible?
Had fibroscan today. Score of 9.2. Is this reversible? I was pleased it wasnt cirrhosis. I was told it was mild fibrosis but online charts indicate f2 as 'significant fibrosis with evidence of progressive liver disease' I have AIH & am taking budesonide 9mg daily. My LFTs have started to normalise so

PBC suspecting
Hi, I am very worried about my liver tests, and possibly PBC. I have been having yearly blood tests since 2008 (except 2019 and 2020), LFT were always normal, until November 2021, my AST, ALT, was about 3 times the norm and GGT was 4 units up. The tests were repeated in January, enzymes went slightly

Use of adjustable bed with cirrhosis and COPD
Hi, I've recently been diagnosed with alcohol related cirrhosis. Had a long conversation with my consultant last week and apparently I'm at stage A which is quite good to hear. I have a gastroscopy booked for 26th to check for varices and will be having a bone scan, vitamin check and tests to check
