What does having a NEW KIDNEY feel like?
Hi All, I have been in the transplant list for a year now and still waiting to get called. I can’t just help to wonder what having a kidney transplant will feel like. Apart from the fact that it will be a gift of life and freedom from being tied down to dialysis. What does it feel like? Will you

Protein in my urine
Hi there! I am 6 months post kidney transplant. First I'd like to say that I was very blessed, I was approved and put on the list May 3, 2023 and I received my new kidney from a perfect match deceased donor June 13, 2023. My transplant team said that is very rare and very lucky. I have had some challenges

Liver Cancer
I was diagnosed with liver cancer by my consultant yesterday (Friday 31st May 2024). They are going to take a liver biopsy in a couple of weeks as I am going on holiday next Monday. Then once this is done I will be having radiography. I am going to be positive and hopefully fight this all the way

pain in left side
Hi have Chorrosis of the liver and have been good up until today. I have felt discomfort in my left side and it goes up the left side of my back to my neck. I did contact my local gp who is going to do bloods on Tuesday as there extremely busy. Will it have something to do with my diagnosis? Or anyone

Nicotine…… a complete no-brainer.
Update most don’t know about nicotine, you should. Read my previous post if you’re wondering about it. I’ll soon be off c/l. I have experimented with nicotine and it seems to work better than the meds. My sense of smell is returning. I’m smelling things that I wish I couldn’t smell, lol. I forgotten

getting help with care
I posted before about hoping to take my partner on holiday - which is looking unlikely and also irresponsible. He has cirrhosis which is fairly stable, having paracentesis again soon - but he’s tried and weak and pretty much not able to do much. The trouble is that he insists he is fine, can look after

for our 'newest' members....
Hi - and welcome! My name is Donna - I facilitate this support group for The PBC Foundation - Health Unlocked. If you are new to your diagnosis, first of all, take a breath. It’s ok. We all, myself included, have been exactly where you are right now…. scared, unsure, mad, sad, and so much more. Stop

got tested
hello, today I got following tests, ast, alt, bilirubin, ggt, leuktocytes, hemoglobin and all were normal now . then I assume that my so-called symptoms are not due to decompensated liver cirrhosis.. or how were your blood tests at diagnosis/symptoms (fatigue, spider nevi)(?) ☀️☀️

every test under the sun but no apparent cause for elevated liver numbers
Hi. I’m posting for a friend in case anyone here has experienced something similar. She’s in her early 30s and healthy. her liver panel shows elevated numbers but she has no fatty liver, negative for any hep c/b, has done all liver related autoimmune tests and all are negative. Has been to a few centers

This is a protein made by the liver, the level of which is measured as a part of your liver function tests. The albumin plays 2 important parts: 1. It carries molecules in the blood that are not water soluable. When bound to albumin, the molecule becomes water
