I stopped drinking beer and wine over 2 Memorial day weekend ago. I was told I had mild cirrosis at that time. I wonder how my liver is now after a year and a half of no drinking. Improved I'm sure. I have been eating less junk, walking on a daily, getting more sunshine, reading, doing puzzles, cleaning, just staying busy , being productive

That’s so good to hear! Keep it up, you are doing great 🤍

Will my “Liver Enzyme” numbers of my annual blood work indicate damage to my liver?

[@eldorado5y]

Ultimately you'll need a liver scan to see if any damage done , if your ALT and AST blood work is very high I'd recommend getting a liver scan

[@grit93]

you can have normal numbers and have liver disease. Sometimes they'll be elevated though so it's not the best indicator

Can I check the blood report of a cirrhosis patient to detect if he is still taking alcohol? Is it possible? How to know if cirrhosis patient is still talking alcohol?

[@Simon1985_]

Can you not check the ammonia levels? If they’re taking lactulose (to reduce ammonia levels) then the ammonia levels should be coming down or stabilising, but I assume if they’re drinking then it won’t? Only from what I’ve seen on other videos, I’m not a doctor or have any training.

I thought the liver was the only organ in your body that can 100% recover and regenerate back to its original state?
