You asked him about life expectancy for stage 4 & he never answered! Kept going back to early stage. I wanted to know the stage 4/decompensated stage answer!
The health system sucks, especially for people on Medicare. If you think the doctor is speaking too fast, go to settings, and where it says playback speed, put it on 0.75.
It's one of the very few vids where I didn't need to speed up to 1:25 to not be bored! You actually have to focus here; could you imagine if he was accented?
I have severe pain without cirrhosis! I have no respect for doctors who disregard people that are outliers. Cookie cutter medicine shows lack of creativity and expertise on harder, more complicated diagnosis and patients that have different symptoms than the major population. Disregarding a patients symptoms shows lack of empathy!
I started with hepatitis c. What made me go to the doctor was severe pain in my right upper side and I’ve had this pain ever since I found out in 1997 and now I have cirrhosis and I still have pain. They tried telling me the liver doesn’t cause pain that is not true
They haven’t had me on anything only lactulose to control the ammonia in my blood that causes the brain fog other than that I have not been on any medication years ago I was on a lot of pain medication but I actually got that taken away because I was smoking pot but I don’t care I’d rather not take pain meds but sometimes it’s really hard not to I just had Call the plexus block
@@susannasenti2871 it can take years to complete heal the liver, be patient! Also I recommend you do some exercise every day. Another useful thing is fasting, try 5 day water fasting or 3 day dry fasting, it accelerates the process so much, trust me!
My sister in law is an alcoholic, and is turning yellow, as well as a large abdomen that has formed in the last couple months. Now she is coughing, and can hardly get through a sentence. She is still drinking, and refuses to go to the doctor:/. I feel like we are watching her die. It is very sad 😞
Doctors said I was stage 3 somehow with the help of Jesus I'm borderline cirrhosis now still have scar tissue but liver is still working so far I have to watch what I eat now no alcohol and no meds just marijuana everyday for 10 years
Hi my name is Sheila my doctor schedules me every 6 months for ultrasound for my liver a few years ago I was surprised when I was told I was going to be checked for Hep C long story short. I had my ultrasound on Friday and the ultrasound was good. But my doctor sent me a text saying I had cirrhosis but could be cancerous. She never said what I should do or look out for. I’m waiting to hear from her.the massage was void to me . Good news but cirrhosis Da…. Could I get some clearly.confused.
I’m under what they call surveillance for liver cancer which basically means I have an MRI every six months and a complete blood draw every six months and they check my tumor marker
As fas as i know its depend on how big or small cancer that u have, if u have small cancer then it can be curable using microwave, microwave will cook that small dot from your liver.
i have stage 4 cirrhosis and end stage liver disease with portal hypertension and oesophageal varices with 6 monthly hcc checks i have been given 10-12 years if i dont develop cancer
Hi Doctor Lee, Can you please help me doctor. How can I contact you. I research a lot of doctor due to my current situation. But unfortunately I cannot find any doctor who can help me in my case. :-( Thanks a lot. God Bless
a biopsy is only used to diagnose cirrhosis also called fibrosis if your already diagnosed you dont need a biopsy a fibroscan will however tell you how severe your fibrosis is i have stage 4 cirrhosis and end stage liver disease.
Yeah,he repeats himself and keeps saying "you know"..."you know"-we obviously don't know if we did then why would we be watching you ? It must be an American thing to use it that much in dialogues.

2 years respectfully..

Agreed. For everyone..
Thank you for this great explanation with pathophysiology. Structure makes a huge portion of understanding the liver and how disease impacts it.
He did not address the question of life expectancy for de compensated liver disease.
No matter what time frame a doctor gives he is either 100% right or 100% wrong. So there's no point in asking
Decompensated is two days to a week is what I heard.
Decompensated is two days to a week is what I heard. In ICU..but, not with partial decompensation that was discussed at the end.
Very informative, thank you so much!
Excellent. Thanks
Thank you Both!!!💞
Thank you
My husband has been in the hospital for almost a month with end-stage liver failure cirrhosis no. I found it very informative
Can cirrohsis cause severe pain when doing number2?
hows it going? is he okay?
That dude talks way too fast!!!!! It's really hard to follow him because he is like speed reading.
It's one of the very few vids where I didn't need to speed up to 1:25 to not be bored! You actually have to focus here; could you imagine if he was accented?
You could just set the playback speed to 0.75 & follow him easily
Yea !
The questions are very well put..matching the a.
I wish I had known
I never had a liver test till I turned jaundice - it was not part of normal health screenings
I feel it should be advocated for in the future due to the lack of symptoms.

I was eating whole food, Mediterranean diet without drinking and I still developed NASH. Wonder how you would handle my liver pain.
You should try a very low carb diet, it works!

Have you looked into the link between sleep apnea and fatty liver? Also, look at the link between PFAS chemicals(non-stick cookware) and liver damage.

Aspirin
Ibuprofen
Kills the liver and kidneys
does weed help?
it helps relieve the fatigue and pain and isnt hepatoxic
Nope .. if u take in a smoke form ..
if ingested, cannabidiols are known to inhibit the biochemical pathways that lead to increased fibrosis.
@@retniretep9477 won't testing positive for THC keep you from liver transplant eligiblity?
