I'm dealing with liver cirrhosis and its been really tough these past two months. My doctor mentioned that about 70% of my liver is scarred, but todays report showed the left lobe of my liver is enlarging. Is that a sign of improvement? Also, I need some advice on how to boost my albumin levels since they're currently at 3.6. Can you suggest a diet or any specific foods to help with that?

So, I've noticed my face is getting darker or turning black, and I'm kind of worried. I've been diagnosed with PBC and have been on medication for liver function and taking vitamin tablets for about a month now. Could this change in my skin color be related to the meds or my liver issue? What might be causing this?

Darkening of your face could be related to changes in liver function due to primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), as it can affect skin pigmentation. Medications or vitamin imbalances might also play a role. I recommend discussing this with your doctor to adjust your treatment if needed.

I'm a bit concerned about taking Psorid 50 mg because I recently had gallbladder stones detected and removed, and now they've found HCV, though my RNA quantification came back negative. Could this medication affect my liver in any way?

Immediately stop breastfeeding for 24-48 hours to avoid passing the medication to your baby. Pump and discard breast milk during this period. Consult your doctor or a lactation consultant for guidance. Monitor your baby for any adverse reactions. Resume breastfeeding after the recommended time
