Central Retinal Vein Occlusion
Is there anyone on the Forum who has CRVO or BRVO (branch retinal vein occlusion). I was diagnosed by Prof.Khamashta 7 years ago, after my first BRVO. I have unfortunately had a second, much worse. The treatment to possibly restore some sight to the affected eye, is with injections. These injections

Improving numbers
Just a quick update. Had my bloods done the other day. January saw a ggt of270 and a few other high numbers. My ggt is now down to 159 and only one other reading is slightly elevated. I'm working out, eating clean, zero alcohol since December. It all works people. Educate others. Make sure they realise

GGT 64, was 66 six months ago
I have found out that my GGT is 64 this week. Back in September it was 66. All my other blood tests including LFTs were fine. I eat fairly healthy and exercise. I like a drink but make sure I don't exceed 21 units a week (I am a bit OCD so tend to count them each week). My mum also has isolated high

Nicotine gum
Hi there, I've just joined. I was told I had a fatty liver last year after an ultrascan. I'd had a brief period of liver discomfort and bad guts which is what made me go for advice. I was told to half my drinking (which was only 1 can of lager a day), which I'm ashamed to say I didn't do, but symptoms

Denial
I think I am in a state of denial, and am joined there by some members of my family. I can't believe it can be true. I can't believe that I am going to lose my central vision.

CF liver disease
My son has just been diagnosed with CF liver disease and portal vein hypertension. He is only 6 and currently is not showing any outward symptoms. Wondered if anyone else has experience of this in a child so young.

Vitamin K deficiency doesn't cause PA
I was just reading this webpage: http://www.gutsense.org/gutsense/ibs.html and I came across this sentence: "Vitamin K deficiency is behind internal bleedings, pernicious anemia, inoperable ulcers, and strokes." While I'm not entirely familiar with the properties of vitamin K, I did recognize immediately

GGT a little high
My GGT's were at 68 my AST and ALT are normal but been found to have HCV about 5 years ago waiting on a new treatment but is this something that I should worry to much over. This is a new test GGT and I have been doing lots of blood work over the last 5 years because of my condition.

Advice: can I drink moderately now? GGT/AST
Ok. My GGT was off the radar. Over 600. I was drinking very heavily earlier this year, due tolife issues and lack of responsibility. I have abstained for 4 weeks. GGT is now 140. [should be <50. Was >600] AST is now 42. [should be 40, was 72] 1. I plan to take another month off. It's not that hard

GGT very high - fatty liver
I had my ALT and AST results - 70 for ast, 79 for alp. Doctor wasn't too worried. But the GGT results are 600. I drink heavily. He said I must stop for a month. The Ultrasound showed a fatty liver. He said at least it's not got further. Any advice? I will stop for a month and check but how quickly will
