Fibroscan results
Hi, My husband’s fibroscan came back with a KPA of 21.5 and the hepetologist has said he has significant bridging fibrosis - she actually said that he doesn’t have cirrhosis (said multiple times) and that at this stage he can still reverse it if he loses weight? What confuses me is that everywhere

Newly diagnosed- fusiform anuersym post kidney transplant
I am 36 and had a kidney transplant almost 1.5 years ago from polycystic kidney disease. I found out about a month ago I have a brain aneurysm. My uncle passed away from a ruptured brain aneurysm. I am not well researched in this, but I am trying to learn as much as I can so I can make wise decisions

yellow tongue
Hi All. My partner has been diagnosed with cirrhosis. he has a few mild symptoms, bloated stomach, spider veins, erectile dysfuction, loss of appetite. He has now developed a yellow tongue with fissures. Has anyone else had this? Is it related to cirrhosis as I cant find anything about it online

Pharmacist denied medication
Hesitant to post this. Opinions run strong on subject. My regular (+1yr) pharmacist called to tell me she was denying my regular pain med fill due to increased usage of thc. Shocked. She advised me to find another pharmacy that sells both THC and pain medication (doesn’t exist) and talk to my doctor.

Advice on medication
Over the last couple of weeks I have had pains in my stomach and for longer than that regular bladder problems. Always feeling I need to go to the toilet. I am on 3.5 mg of prednisolone and am wondering if it has anything to do with the other pills I am taking each day. 1 -20 mg omeprazole, 1 - 1000

Chronic Cholecystitis
Hi, over the the past few years I've been very poorly as most of us have been. Had all Cirrhosis symptoms except bleeding varices. Along side this I've had Chronic Cholecystitis seen by via CT and Ultrasound scans. The hepatic consultant wanted a laproscopic removal of the gall bladder, but the gastro

Does anyone know
Most know my Story about my wife, how she went from a Fatty liver diagnosis in Oct of 2020 to dead from Renal Failure in Jan of 2023. One thing, that is still being argued. And drives me nuts since the Biopsies showed NASH F1. She did have a compression of her IVC and Portal. Which cleared on its

saving my dad
Hi all! My dad was recently diagnosed with Pulmonary Fibrosis. He is only 64 years old and last year this same time he was in great health! Drs are unsure if it’s IPF or another severe form of pulmonary fibrosis. He had a lung biopsy that came back inconclusive. He relies on full time oxygen and coughs

INVOLVEMENT OPPORTUNITY - Research (UK)
One of the NIHR liver partnership research teams in the UK is working on a study to encourage patients with a diagnosis of liver disease to regularly attend for cancer screening.

Liver Biopsy Negative can it still be PBC?
I had elevated Alkaline Phosphate of 146, ALT (SOGT) of 45 and a positive ANA with a titer of 1:320 so my primary doctor sent me to a gastroenterologist. He thought I just had fatty liver but did more bloodwork and scheduled me for an ultrasound, He called when the labs came back and said he wanted tod

Serum gamma-glutamyl transferase level
I had a blood test conducted by my GP surgery. One of the test, not my normal profile, was this: Serum gamma-glutamyl transferase level (XaES3) 118 iu/L [reference range 0 - 59] I do understand that it's a liver test, and my other LFT's were normal. Any incite to the meaning of this test in respect

liver ast/alt
Good day, i recently got Bloodwork done. My billirubine was raised 71u/mol and AST 81. My ALT was 25, GGT normal and ALP also. I was a binge drinker for 15 years. Never drank daily. My fear is cirrhosis, with the ast alt ratio. Have had 2 ultrasounds that were complete normal and 1 MRI with out contrast

A really long post, I’m sorry.
Hello, this might turn into a ramble, so apologies in advance. My husband was diagnosed with F3/F4 Bridging fibrosis about 6 weeks ago. It’s been a very emotional and scary few weeks made worse by lots of googling! I found this forum this week, and since reading, feel a lot more positive going forward

Alcoholic liver disease is a strong predictor of colorectal polyps in liver transplant recipients

Hi Taar
