I am reading sooooo much about the grading of liver desease and all. I’m not sure how to take all if it. Anyone else have liver desease? What should I expect?

Hello @cjp and welcome to Connect. I understand that you are looking for others to connect with who have liver disease. I did find some information on Memorial Sloan Kettering's website that explains the different grades of liver functioning. Here is a link to that article, https://www.mskcc.org/cancer-care/patient-education/understanding-your-fibroscan-results.

On Connect we do have a discussion on liver disease. Here is a link to that discussion, https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/liver-1/. Please read the posts in this discussion and if you want to ask questions of any of the members there, just click on "Reply" and you can post a comment or question.

What direction has your doctor given you regarding follow-up and/or treatment? Are you currently being seen by a hepatologist (a doctor who specializes in liver disorders)?
