I am tired of high GGT, ALT and ALP
After my gallbladder surgery in March I keep taking liver function tests and they are not improving. I had all of it - colonoscopy,MRI, CT, gastroscopy and fibroscan. All is normal. But why GGT sits in 130, ALP in 150 and ALT in 60? It has been like that for 4 months and no improvement. :( . Pain

Preparing for treatment for hep c
Dr is trying to get me approved for treatments and I’m scared because I had hep b in the past and afraid it will come back if I do the treatments for hep c, I see where they say it can come back with new treatments, just worried, Dr says I have no liver damage yet, but my viral load is really high

Liver cirrhosis
Hello! I was diagnosed with liver cirrhosis due to alcohol. I clearly had a problem with my alcohol consumption, but it was very easy to quit. It was never questioned why my liver was damaged as I said right from the start that alcohol was the reason. Now I had to visit another doctor and he - other

Hello everyone. I've "lurked" on here since my husband was diagnosed with severe liver disease in March 2021. He gave up alcohol the day he was admitted to hospital and I'm so proud of him for sticking with it determinedly. We're 4 months on and he's been through several ascitic drains, feeling terrible

Do my eyes still look jaundiced?
On the 21st of June I was diagnosed with Acute Liver Failure, I'm 23. Bilirubin was at a 12.1, AST 591, ALT 1103. Only symptom I had was Jaundice. I was released after 2 days because I wasn't getting any worse and they told me to give my liver time to heal itself. My eyes before this were completely

Fibrosis / ILD caused by Lupus
My wife and I visited the respiratory consultant on Wednesday. We were told that the CT scan of her lungs taken in 2018 showed a significant problem. The images of the lungs were grey when they should be black. She has been breathless for a number of years now but getting significantly worse. At last

Letter from Hep Consultant PBC
Hi received my letter from the consultant - Primary Biliary Cirrosis! instead of Primary Biliary Cholangitis. I was horrified to find the name changed in 2016 and not sure I have much faith in his approach. At no point does it mention Cholangitis, I have a Fib4 score of 5.34 no idea what that means.

How to tell if it's ascites
I was diagnosed with 3 c carsinosarcoma in Aug 2017, didn't have surgery, had 18 weekly chemo taxol/carbol. Chemo finished may 2018. Since then I have remained stable with 3 monthly scans and have been well. Lately I have not felt quite as well and am able to eat only very small amounts before feeling

Is it possible for the ALD to become full blown Cirrhosis , months after quitting alcohol? I have read here that people had fatty liver, quit alcohol and it progressed to cirrhosis in months or years.

Worrying
Hi I have been having multiple tests since having elevated liver enzymes GGT was >400 and ALT>200. I found out today that I also have smooth muscle antibodies does this mean it’s AIH? I’m waiting for a fibro scan appointment and also more blood results. I did phone the helpline and the lady was so helpful
