Anxious wait for MRI Result
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

Hi friends! Liver/Spleen Dilemma
It’s been a long time since I’ve been on here. Admittedly, I tried to stay off because I was giving myself immense anxiety regarding my health. I first joined back in 2018 because I was in quite the conundrum with my doctors. An ER doctors said I had NASH, GI said I didn’t, and so on and so forth. I

Just some food for thought, and sharing some news
Any opportunity to raise awareness of liver disease should be grasped with both hands, as you never always know where this advice and support will one day lead. For the past few years, I have been helping my 21-year old next-door neighbour with her studies to become a psychiatric, mental health nurse

Cirrhosis and hepatitis
Hi Everyone, My brother in law is in the hospital with alcohol cirrhosis and hepatitis C. Without a transplant he will not survive. Does anyone know if the hepatitis is a significant factor for receiving a transplant? Or is it mostly the precursor to cirrhosis? My husband had a liver transplant in September

MRI scan finding
In Feb 2021 I had a follow up fibroscan following an ultrasound finding of mild cirrhosis. I had a score of 10kpa and 310 cap, the latter score (I think?) indicating quite a fatty liver and I was told I have moderate fibrosis but no cirrhosis. However, during the ultrasound a cyst was found in my pancreas

Don’t know what to do
Hi everyone 28 year old male, had a very heavy drinking period for two years back in 2013 & 2014. Since then, I’ve been a “weekend warrior”, drinking heavily only on the weekends. This is usually about 30 units. Anyway, I’m worried I have some form of liver disease. My cholesterol is quite low

Small red dots on arms and legs come and go. Does anyone know what they are and should I be concerned?
My hubby was diagnosed with cirrhosis in May 21. Now tea total with non withdrawal symptoms. He got into bad habits with alcohol to cope during lockdown and has paid the price for it. I've noticed at times he has small red spots, which are not itchy and do disappear..does anyone know what this might

Update to my 10.1 elf
From previous post where dr wouldn't do scan as elf was under 10.5, which nice guidelines do state, but my concern was my drs think anything upto 10.5 is completely normal range with no other references, I did book a private ultrasound last week which showed nothing at all with my liver not even any

Worried about liver test results
Hello, I've just had some routine blood tests and the results show that my AST is 37 and ALT is 52. I am really worried. GP says he will retest in two months and advised that I cut down on drinking. He doesn't seem concerned at all but I can't help but worry. I am very healthy: good diet and exercise

How do you deal with liver pain?
Given that we all here see specialists and do tests, I want to ask you how you deal with liver pain. We can't have painkillers because they aggravate the liver. What do we do while waiting for doctors answer which I can't get any way... according to hundreds of imaging tests and fibroscan I am fine,
