I was diagnosed with AIH, PBC and celiac disease, all autoimmune diseases in Sept 2023. I had suspected fatty liver issues for nearly 20 years but all my doctors brushed it off and said everyone has a fatty liver. Now at age 60 I have stage 3-4 cirrhosis of my liver and need a liver transplant. I hope to help at least one person by talking about my diseases so they can catch it before they need a transplant.

Also was overweight for 20 years, every 6 months I had a physical and Dr always said my liver enzymes were high and kidney function low BUT he was not concerned! After 6 years of this he sent me to a gastroenterologist who also did labs, I was told my bilirubin was high and needed a liver biopsy. Now I see a hepatologist as I also have PBC with stage 4 Compensated Cirrhosis DX in 2021 with a Meld score of 7 which is now 10. I changed my diet drastically to a Mediterranean food tweaked for my liver. I lost 98lbs now too thin so added more food. I’m still asymptomatic and doing well, like you I try to tell everyone to be aware of this disease, and ask questions!!!
