Liver pain AFTER giving up alcohol
Hi all - wonder if someone could advise please? I gave up alcohol at Christmas after years of binge drinking. Strange thing is I now have upper right quadrant liver pain (dull ache) that wasn't there before. Sometimes but not always it radiates to my back. It's worse when I bend forward or reach up.

Hepatic Encephalopathy with F1 Fibrosis?
Hi, is it possible to experience Hepatic Encephalopathy with F1 Fibrosis? Here's my backstory.. I'm ashamed to admit I was a daily drinker for approx 20 years (I'm now in my mid forties) as I used it to self-medicate to help with anxiety (terrible idea I know). I must have been averaging around 80 units

Test results
Hi there, a little follow up from my last post, si my bloods came back normal and the receptionist said my Dr didn't want any follow up after my us scan so she said it's probably normal , should I book an appointment with the Dr to discuss this? I'm also on Spironolactone tablets for fluid in my stomach

My partner's story
Hello to everyone, I've been a silent member of this group for a few weeks and I have found your posts really helpful. I have decided that now is the time to share with you the story so far with my partner and his diagnosis of alcohol related liver disease. He's 43 years old and he's been a daily drinker

Feeling a bit sad and down
I'm having one of those moments when I'd love to reach out and say I'm feeling a bit low - but reality is I don't know who to ring/don't like to bother folks/my husband hates fuss!!! Today he came home from work at 1, having only gone in at 10, he's fast asleep on the sofa again. I know we are lucky

Fibroscan results today
I finally received my Fibroscan results from the hepatolgist. The KPA was very low and the CAP was very high. The doctor said F0 on the KPA. He told me the CAP just tells us there is fat in your liver which we already knew. He did not mention percentage of fat. He said the fat is not causing any issues

Does liver effect your hair
Just a question Does fatty liver have any effect on hair. I feel my hair is really thinning to a worrying degree. Not sure if allowed to use Manoxidil (Regaine) the only topical scalp medication that dr recommends. As it’s only applied to scalp not digested, but not sure if I can use it.

NAFLD online calculator
How accurate is the NAFLD online calculator? Did anyone use this tool and found it to be fairly accurate after receiving test results from your doctor? I am finally getting my Fibroscan results tomorrow (after 6 weeks) and my anxiety is kicking in. I contacted the nurse about a month ago via email and

Deranged bloods, no fatty liver no fibrosis
A little further down my road of tests, in summary I have no symptoms but it all started with a cholesterol test of 8.9, gp said it could be liver related as it’s too high to be diet. Had liver bloods and ALT was high at 150. Repeat test and ALT was 350.Refer to liver specialist, just had ultrasound

Not long now.
I have Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (Decompensated). Looks like I'm coming to the end of my journey in life. On being diagnosed in July, my decent has been rapid. More & more of the end stage symptoms are showing. I thought maybe I'd have a couple of years to see if I could halt the damage & maybe

I tried so hard to be positive. I stayed away cos I thought it was making my hypochondria worse but here I am. New bloods done and dr said all satisfactory. Picked a copy up today and bloods like ALT and GtGamma are the same as they were back in Feb. So I’m Feb, April and June dr wasn’t happy with them

Peripapillary CNV
After 18 months without an Eylea injection, I was given an appointment for treatment. The OCT showed a leak further out from the fovea than the one I had had before, which itself was some way from the fovea. I had a second OCT (which I've not seen) taken of the optic disc. In a letter that came after

Hepatic encephalopathy, Auto brewery syndrome, feeling drunk, waking up with a hangover
Hi all I was diagnosed with ARLD around 7 months ago, I’m recently out of hospital about a month ago. Since then my life has been chaos, losing my job, many friends and even some family due to this disease I believe. My uncle even died of liver disease. At the wake of his funeral is where this began,

Hyperreflexia
I would love to hear others' experience with hyperreflexia as result of PA. I have periods (often in the last days before my injection), when I get low-level random muscle twitches, mostly in my arms and back, then they subside. I have been found to be hyperreflexive in reflex tests since my PA diagnosis
