I gather the kidneys have improved, the albumin infusions have stopped,

Travel insurance within the UK.
I'm travelling from Essex to Belfast next month and am looking for travel insurance. With belfast being in the UK I wonder if I actually need cover anyway. I am over 200 days post stem cell transplant and it will be my first time travelling abroad as such since the start of covid in 2020. I am considering

low lft readings
Hi all, this is my first post. My Hubby went to gp with chest pain and she decided to do a full blood test. Everything was ok except all his liver markers were low. She sent us to hospital for further tests and liver levels are still low. He has a liver ultrasound booked for Monday. Dr said she hasn

I need help
Hello, I need some advise. I have alcohol related liver disease,. I was told on Feb 2019. I was told be the liver nurse if I stopped drinking and started again my liver wouldn't take it. Stupidly a few weeks later I went for a drink after a split with my partner. Not realising the consequences. Then

Fatty Liver and Low White Blood Cell Count
Had a Gallstone attack back in 2007 that led to my Gallbladder being removed. 2 months prior my blood tests showed elevated GGT (79 and 97) and Bilirubin (26 and 23). All other LFTs normal. 2008 I was then diagnosed with Fatty Liver. GGT 112, Bilirubin 22 and ALT now elevated to 52. It’s been a struggle

How long for FIB4 results?
I had my most recent bloods on 31 October. All function tests came back within normal range, though Gamma GT high. I am still waiting on results of the FIB-4 test. Does it always take ages to come back from the lab? Without the FIB 4 result I have no idea what/if any fibrosis is present in my liver
