Lump on Liver
Hi again, I was discharged after my transplant assessment as I was not ill enough yet to go on the list. I have a decompensated liver, crohns disease and diabetes. On a routine ultrasound last week they noticed a lump in my liver and referred it as urgent to my specialist. I have chased a few days

new liver dr
I am seeing a new dr and he’s apparently one of the best in the area. I wanted to pass along some of his information. he said liver inflammation starts when numbers hit 150 for ALT or AST he believes I have a condition that causes intermittent elevated liver enzymes but since mine are only at 35 and

Hepatologist called my liver 'recompensated'
On my last visit to clinic, my specialist said 'well done with your recompensated liver'. Anyone else had such a positive diagnosis said by their specialist? I haven't found it anywhere online. I've not had any alcohol in three and half years, since I suffered a liver failure, yellow skin, fainting,

liver enzymes going up and down
I had a routine blood test 18 months ago which showed elevated GGT at 126. My GP told me to cut down on alcohol and I stopped having any alcohol at home and just had an occasional drink if I went out socially. I’ve never been a big drinker anyway. Fast forward to last September when I had another blood

Liver enzymes & blood test results
Hi, firstly thank you all for replying to my previous posts. Your replies were very helpful. I have got my blood test results. They are normal apart of borderline diabetes. It's 44mmol. My Alt and ast is 28 and FBC is 329. I am not sure what this means? My BMI falls in obese category. Doctor told me

Elective C Section once in Labour
I’m booked for an elective C Section at end of week 39. Now on week 38. I’m having second thoughts about the C Section, particularly what happens if the baby comes early - either water break or contractions start. I’d always thought I’d then ask for an emergency C section (my consultant has approved

help interpreting results
hi all, My GP isn’t the most proactive so I find I need to push a little at times. I’m looking here to see if I should be concerned and push my doctor for further testing? recently I had my yearly physical, and also had an ultrasound which showed fatty liver. Liver function tests were normal, but

Bruising, HE and Itching
I’m newly diagnosed with cirrhosis from NAFLD and trying to sort all this out. What causes bruising? I have normal platelets, albumin and INR. Why do I have bruises in odd places? They’re in areas where I know can’t be from bumping into something. Another thing I have is brain fog and insomnia,

Iron levels during pregnancy
At 28 weeks I had my bloods taken by a stand in MW. At my 31 weeks appointment I was told I should have been contacted as my iron levels were low and put on iron tablets. I'm now 35 weeks and they're still under 100. I'm going to have an iron drip today. Just wondered if any of you have had issues with
