Hi mylifeb4u,
You are in a good place to get support while u go thru this journey.
I was diagnosed w/stage four cirrhosis, portal hypertension and thru my process developed hepatic encephalopathy and ascities. My TP team still has no clue how I developed it either. I was 59 w/no underlying medical conditions and in very good health except my liver disease. Which will help u get thru this.
Keep your faith stay positive and know we r all here to support you.
I am now 2yrs. LT and doing well, it is a defiantly a process, life is beautiful I am so grateful for each day. Sounds like u have a good support group also.😊
Please let us know how your December appt.goes.
One thing they did tell me try and drink a high protein b/f u go to bed, it will help with your energy and your body needs protein right now.👍

Hope you can translate this in English the Reason I ask you to this because my primary lenguaje is Spanish.
La HIPERTENCION produce encefalopatía la razón es que la sangre buena no te llega con buen flujo debido a la alta presión arterial el ascetitis es acúmulo de agua debido también a la hipertensión y la cirrosis CONTROLA la sal no soy doctor pero leo mucho las causas producidas por lo que tenemos fase 4 no es mucha en mi caso llegue al estado 7 o más no estoy seguro pero lo que me paso es que me salió CANCER al hígado y eso hizo que me hicieran el aa transplante de hígado hoy como tú dices pido a DIOS y doy gracias por el día a día de vida q el me da continua siguiendo las direcciones de los doctores y claro dejaré saber Mi próxima resolución con el doctor
