Hi @colleenyoung! I had a liver transplant back in December 2017 due to cryptogenic cirrhosis. Thank you for your welcome. I do not live in a big city, so I thought I’d join this forum for support. I thank you for providing that for me!

@dcbrenek, I am happy to add my welcome to Connect. I just returned home from my 10 year annual evaluation for liver/kidney transplant due to PSC (Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis). I have not seen the term cryptogenic cirrhosis, so I had to look it up. And I read that: _Cirrhosis is likely to have more than one cause and when the specific cause of cirrhosis is unknown, the condition is referred to as cryptogenic cirrhosis._ If that is what you had, I can imagine how confusing that must have been for you. I was actually relieved when my disease was given a name, even though it was an ugly one!

How long did you suffer with it before your transplant?
I also see that you have been quite ill in the past months. Has any of that affected your transplanted liver?
