Transplant Evaluation - What to expect

I don't have regular hypertension, I have portal hypertension which is the build up of pressure in the veins in the liver and the veins that bring blood to/from the liver. I also have a low platelet count. It has ranged from the 40's to 60's recently meaning I don't clot easily and have random bruising happening even without impact to the skin. I right now have a large bruise not healed where an IV was placed on February 2 for an inpatient visit.

Hi! I have portal hypertension too. Just had a EDG n JAX. I had small varices in my prior one that I thought might need banded this time. The Drs said they were hardly there. Likely due to Propanalol. I will be holding on to my Meld 8 as long as I can but they caution me that things could change quickly and that I must be prepared. They found a sissle cyst that we are awaitng biopsy results...always something...
