However one doctor will take me off em because of kidney damage the next one along will put me back on them. If I don’t take spirolactone I fill with fluid within the week and need draining which is a pain

Itching in one part of the body a sign of liver disease?
I have a persistent itching sensation on the left side of my rib cage. Can this be a sign of liver disease? . I am very worried about this. All my liver function tests have been normal and I don't have jaundice, broken veins, etc For several years I felt I might be an alcoholic ....or on the verge of

Ozurdex Injection
Hi, I'm getting an ozurdex injection. I have had somewhere between 75-100 injections with Lucentis and now Eyelea. It usually takes 24 hours for my eyes to start feeling normal again. How much more does the Ozurdex hurt? And does it take longer to recover?

blood test of Liver Function Test report shows high reading of GGT! Should I worry...?
My current blood test of Liver Function Test report shows high reading of GGT: Gamma Glutamyl Transferase (GGT): 123.0 (Bio. Ref. Interval 0.0 - 55.0) Please let me know what does this high GGT mean and what medication/diet should I need to start to bring it down. Also, do I need to consult a doctor

Fatty Liver Disease, no help from GP
First post, no advice from GP. After ultrasound my GP told me I have a fatty liver, I asked what this meant, she replied ‘who knows’! So I’m in the dark. I’m 55, Type 2 diabetic, try to keep within drinking limits (2-3 times per week), overweight, but take daily exercise. I know loosing weight will help
