fibroscope
nearly 5yrs alcohol free. Recent fibroscope has gone from 80+ to 40. But I still have cirrhosis (with no symptoms and normal blood results). Can I be optimistic that my liver is recovering or will it never recover ?

Vitamin A - retinol.
Dr. John Campbell posted a video about how low vitamin A (retinol) levels predispose a person to experience pneumonia from the Mycoplasm pneumoniae which is currently at near epidemic levels among children in northern China. No surprise here to be honest considering the severe lockdowns. Children have

She was in hospital for 6 weeks earlier this year and diagnosed with hepatic encephalopathy. I thought

Itching due to medication??
Hello, I had a liver transplant 3 years ago and take tacrolimus, mycophenolate and prednisone for anti rejection.

Hello, me again! So my partner has had his letter telling his ultrasound result. It says that there is 24mm irregular area withing the left lobe of his liver. It also says that this could be nothing more than focal fat or a cancer. He now is going to have an urgent MRI. I am so scared now. After

good morning everyone. Saw my doctor the other day and I am so confused. He said I have fatty liver but not liver disease. What does he mean
I haven’t got much faith in my doctor really as he has overlooked my enlarged bile duct in the past. I noticed the report so I requested another ultrasound 12 months later. The size had stayed the same but they noticed fatty liver. The doctor isn’t concerned at all but I am having problems dealing with

Ascites and edema gone. Belly remains.
Hope all of you are well. Quick question. Have any of you had ascites substantially decline and yet your belly remains hard and round? Will this ever go away? Walking and exercising strenuously. Lifting weights , sit-ups and walking approximately 10 miles a week. Eating much healthier. Haven’t drink

Finally some progress
Those who followed our Journey, know this is such a painful process of grief. Two weeks ago, the hospital wrote it would not change the factual information in my wife's chart. In her chart it had been written she had Biopys proven Nash Cirrhosis, which led doctors looking at ultrasounds that said
