Is Amiloride an effective alternative to Spironolactone in treatment of Ascites from liver disease
Hello All, I have been taking Bumetanide (1 mg daily) and Spironolactone which is a potassium conserving diuretic (200 mg daily) for cica 2 years and this is to control ascites that has resulted from my AIH and Cirrhosis. It works reasonably well although ascitic fluid still continues to accumulate

RLS
I have just diagnosed me with a sort of RLS. It is not as bad as some of you but I am a poor sleeper anyway so it doesn't help. It feels like my legs are sometimes filling with heaviness and I try not to move but can't help myself! It is the weirdest feeling in the world. Sometimes I feel it affects

High ALT and GGT (rarely drink alcohol)
Hi, I've recently had my blood tests results back from my GP and I'm worried about the results fed back. My ALT and GGT were both elevated. ALT at 81 and GGT at 170. I'm a male aged 33 and generally in good health and with very little alcohol consumption (average around two pints of beer a month). This

Fibroscan resuts
I have just had a fibroscan and the results are 5.5 on the fibroscan but 244 on the fatty liver past, which indicates stage1. As a pretty heavy drinker am sure this is down to alcohol Does anyone know what the appropriate action might be. I was already thinking to cut right down and have 3/4 days a week

Hi I've been living with cirrhosis for around two and half years now and at the moment seem stable, scoring 7 on child push so just inside criteria for transplant but no need just yet. But I'm constantly feeling dehydrated and even after a good night's sleep (or so I think) I wake up feeling completely

Fatty liver
Hello, Recently I had a Ultrasound sound scan and full blood count. My results are fatty liver and something raised in my blood that is also to do with my liver. My Doctor asked if I was a big drinker because the raised blood reading is seen in big drinkers and alcoholics. When I said I do not drink
