Cirrhosis and dealing with salt & sugar cravings
Hello, I have (3 mths ago) been officially confirmed by fibroscan & ultrasound with F4 Cirrhosis. Unknown to me, or not taking liver disease seriously, I have had pretty bad liver problems for at least 6 years. To be honest, I am still trying to get my mind around it. A few months ago, I was quite

Alt/AST ratio...
I still don’t know what this means exactly but out of curiosity I’ve done mine. I have alcoholic cirrhosis of the liver and my readings at my last blood test were... ALT 45 AST 34 Ratio 0.75 All within normal range(apparently).

Coping with what could have been
My husband has recently been very ill and had a liver transplant which is working wonderfully. I can't stop thinking about what could have happened if he had not had the transplant. He had sepsis in March and almost died and was going downhill fast just before his transplant. I'm driving myself crazy

AST/ALT Ratio
I am worried as my enzymes are now normal, but my ast is always higher than alt. Like 16 and 11. I read many people say that if the numbers are in range it does not mean cirrhosis. I have not had any scans since I originally had elevated enzymes many years ago. Keep keep saying it only matters if you

Inr/pt
Got a question because cannot get straight answers. Just say someone did have cirrhosis and was having easy bleeding and bruising your platelets would be low right? And your inr would be abnormal right? So with that being said if your platelets are normal your inr will be normal also meaning cirrhosis

Scared and Not Sleeping
Hi, On Wednesday I am seeing a gastro to check for liver damage. I was diagnosed with hypontremia (low sodium) and still not sure what is causing. I also have High B12 levels which can be indicative of liver problems. My bloodwork is normal, although on occasion my AST was a wee bit high. My last test

Advice on weight loss with cirrhosis
Does anyone have any advice for losing weight with cirrhosis? My brother has been sober for 2 years now after being decompensated. All his levels are good and his liver has regenerated to a level. He has real trouble sleeping and has a carb snack before bed to get him through the night as advised by

Spider Angioma?
Hi there - What might this be? I've had this kind of mark on my abdomen for many years (since I used to live in West Africa) but recently it looks to be getting more pronounced or "longer" across my abdomen (horizontal). After I shower or work out, it seems like the vein-aspect goes away and its just

Decompensated cirrhosis and kidney failure
Mom (age 72) was diagnosed with decompensated cirrhosis with refractory ascites and HE. Soon after creatinine jumped to 7 and her kidney failed. Afterwards, she was on CAPD + rosavel, rifagut & weekly albumin. Also salt intake. Survived 28 months and left us due to heart attack and infection. Doctor

Gastropathy
When I posted does this point to cirrhosis. I had on there what my doctor back then 2009 found on my endoscopy esophagus normal. It shows chronic superficial gastritis with changes suggestive of reactive gastropathy. Does that mean portal hypertension? I read portal hypertension causes portal hypertension

Anal pain after BM
I have had IBS C for several years but manage it mostly by using Laxido But recently it's been causing me to wake up about 4.00am and have a bowel movement But then about 30 / 60mins later I suffer really bad anal pain and burning sensation that can last for hours. Does anyone suffer the same pain

AIH/PBC - Result of MRI - Update
UPDATE 9.8.2021 MRI showed fatty areas on liver. Gallbladder is contracted. Consultants says no issues. If that's the case, why mention the gallbladder being contracted. I have researched and found that being contracted would be classed as okay in the morning, but I had my scan at 5.20 in the evening

Raised ALT, NAFLD ruled out
Hi, I really need some advice. Disclaimers: I know this site isn’t a substitute for medical advice and I know my anxiety is extreme. My partner, 29M, who is overweight and only used to drink socially and then in small amounts, went to the GP about fatigue a month ago (we have a 7month old and he sleeps
