Hi, I'm post transplant and just had my 1 year anniversary. Before the transplant things were kind of wild. I had increased ast and alt numbers that went higher every year, this was from NASH, ( non alcoholic Steto Hepatitis). Two years ago, I thought I had a stomach flu, it got to the point where I went to the hospital. It wasn't stomach fly, it was my liver was no longer filtering out the amonia in my body. I was told I was only a day away from dying. My body had been flooded by amonia and caused hallucinations, speech impairments, and some brain damage. I was kept on laculose, to remove the amonia up until the day of my transplant. It took me over a year to recover from this. There are many other small things that happen, but this one was pretty difficult.
