Cirrhosis
Dying from liver cirrhosis and its complications eg bleeding varices is a slow and painful way to go. The craving for alcohol during this illness strips you of your mind and dignity. On the whole, hospitals won't have as much sympathy for you as, let's say an illness that you have no control over, like

Can we regenerate damaged organs in the lab?
I responded to someone’s question earlier about the need for liver transplants in the future.

I felt this video story which was put up recently (Feb 21) was just too good a story to warrant

Hello all, I’m new to the group, had my gallbladder out a year ago January, diet had never been the best previously so I assume that’s why, had a bit of brain fog, headaches and just not feeling right along with spasms, pain etc and put it all down to malfunction of gallbladder, felt better after it

What happens to ascites post TIPSS procedure?
Hi I have a question to any members who have had a TIPS shunt: what happens to ascites after the procedure? Father in law is being referred for assessment, as he has been having fortnightly drains for refractory ascites for many months. I think the shunt redirects fluid to renal system so does that mean

Wondering if anyone here has experience with an Endoscopic Liver Biopsy to check on PBC /AIH staging?
Anyone here had a liver biopsy done via and EUS / Endoscopy? Back in 2013, I had a traditional liver biopsy and apparently this is a new technique for performing more procedures at once using needle aspiration guided by ultrasound. I am curious what the recovery time is versus the older method. Also,
