LFT results
I recently had LFT done. All came back in normal range except my albumin was 39 albeit in range that’s the lowest I’ve had. I’ve been worried about the amount I’ve drunk over the years. Always wine approx 30 units a week. I do not have any symptoms. I’ve read you can have cirrhosis withoutsymptoms

Is the support offered by GPs in the British NHS acceptable or are there aspects that need better training and education on liver conditions
Today I saw a GP, it was not my GP, my GP is on long term sickness leave. Yesterday I tried to see a GP but failed as I was allocated a 'nurse practitioner' for the third consecutive time in the last 10 weeks. I insisted on seeing a GP. What I am going to describe are my views and opinions on how the

Does this look like jaundice?
Hello. I was in the ER last month for unrelated concerns that have since been taken care of. My blood looked fine, except an elevated bilirubin at 2.8. other liver enzymes looked good. CT scan showed *possible* fatty liver. I am 19 years old, 5’7 and 125-130 lbs. My diet and exercise could be better

Alcohol withdrawal advice
Hi, I'm on this forum as I have liver issues (Budd Chiari) which aren't caused by alcohol. My partner drinks a ridiculous amount of alcohol - regularly drinks at least15 cans of beer 3 days a week and 4-6 cans other days. He had been told he had fatty liver previously and elevated blood test results

Dizziness?
Hi all, my question is does anyone else suffer from dizziness having Cirrhosis of the liver? I was diagnosed with Cirrhosis of the Liver last year, just recently I have suffered from dizziness and do not know if this is a link to this. Would be great to have feedback on this. Thanks.

Hypothyroidism
My husband is 69 1/2 years old, always been healthy and is not on any medication other than the supplements I give him. Recent blood work in August 2021, showed a low B12 level of 300, he is now on supplements to help with this. The problem lies with his TSH levels. The chart ranges I have found

Ketamine and psychological therapy can help heavy drinkers abstain for longer, a new clinical trial shows
Although this is a liver site, alcohol abuse has long been the cause of many long-liver journeys for so many people. I have often referred to alcohol abuse as there being two types of drinkers. Firstly, there is the person who drinks because they want to. But secondly, there is the person who now has

Milk thistle alters thyroid hormone transport
Milk thistle (and extracts) have long been recommended, uncritically, for those with thyroid issues, especially if they seem to have liver problems. This new article is long and detailed - and questions its safety and the effects it might have. [i] [/i] [i]

Experiences Having Transjugular Liver Biopsy
Greetings Everyone, This site is simply amazing and thanks to everyone for their posts. I am having a lot of anxiety regarding having a transjugular liver biopsy.

Covid positive and liver damage?
Hi all I’ve just tested positive for covid. Was due to have a ct scan tomorrow but obviously had to cancel. This has been rebooked for 2 weeks time. My liver bloods all came back normal the other day but I still feel I must have caused some damage with the amount I was drinking and I understand bloods

Supplements warning: The ‘healthy’ herbal supplement causing severe liver injuries
There is an article in today's Daily Express that warns of the dangers of taking supplements'. The use of alternative medicines and supplements such as Milk Thistle is a question that gets asked a lot on here.

MAFLD (new concept for NAFLD) cut-off for FIB-4 - science article
"Do we need a new cut-off for FIB-4 in the metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease era?" "In conclusion, the diagnostic performance of FIB-4 in the MAFLD group was not different from that in the NAFLD group. However, it would be appropriate to lower the cut-off to 1.0 in order to reduce
