Raised LFT Question
Good morning, I was wondering if anyone could offer me any insight to my blood test results. I used Thriva to check my Liver function amongst other things and all come back ok except GGT of 112. I mentioned to GP and she ordered some more blood tests. In the meanwhile I have had a hysterectomy almost

Faolure to book MRCP/cholangiopathy
In June I had an ERCP to remove a stone stuck in my bile duct. Afterwards I was told that my bile duct was suspicious for cholangiopathy and the ducts to/in my liver looked narrowed. They said that I may have an autoimmune liver condition and they were booking an mri/mrcp which would be about 4 weeks

Acid ursodeoxycholic and Fenofibrate for PBC
Hiya! An internist suggested that mixing the urso with fenofibrate has shown good results for patients with PBC. I was recently diagnosed with PBC overlap AIH. Are any of you talking it together? Any insight that you could share with me?

Does this sound like a stomach ulcer?
Hello, about 6 weeks ago I suddenly had pain in my upper middle abdomen, that radiated to the back and sides and built over a few hours. Eventually I was vomiting bile and this continued for 2 days. As I’d been taking NSAIDS fairly regularly over the past year my doctor recommend I start a PPI medication

Flare up and PCR Covid Test
Would anyone suggest taking a PCR Covid test during a Lupus flare up that comes with a low-grade fever? Could this have an affect on the results?

Appointment
Had my appointment today, fibroscan shows 6.5 kpa and fatty liver but nothing serious which is a relief ! The consultant is arranging an MRI to check bile ducts gallbladder etc due to my symptoms, said if that’s clear then he will arrange a HIDA scan. Also took 11 vials of blood today . Feel like crap

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

Suspected gallstones with my compensated cirrhosis
Hi guys, been a while since I've been on here but having some slight concerns about gallstones. My liver seems to have been doing well for the past few years; I'm eating healthy, no booze in 4+ years and exercising daily so feeling fit and healthy which hopefully means my cirrhosis is still at a compensated

Help re ERCP please
Hi, 7 years ago I had serious bowel complications during surgery . I was vein fed for months which gave me gallstones. Things have settled and my bloods are ok,now but I have numerous small stones stuck in common bile duct. They don’t bother me apart from occasional dull pain in gall bladder region.

Gallstones surgery still waiting
I was diagnosed with gallstones three month ago but still haven’t got a letter from the consultant. How long do you wait in Scotland till the surgery? I am in a lot of pain and it’s a long wait ☹️
