Good evidence shows that if you can stop the inflammation: get rid of the viruses or stop the alcohol, or stop the fat accumulation, the fibrosis can get better. Although viral hepatitis is often a misunderstood and unrecognized disease, the bottom line for people that are infected is that research is continuing and the future looks bright.

The main thing we want people with hepatitis to know is that we have made tremendous progress in the past ten years, both diagnostically and therapeutically. And we've had remarkable progress in therapy, both for hepatitis B and C, and there's other drugs around the corner.

The experiences of others in their own words, in differing situations.
We would like to be able to put you in contact with other liver transplant recipients to unload your worries and fears and hopefully reassure. The editor would welcome your experiences of how the prospect of liver transplantation affected you and any queries that you would like answered from someone who has been there. We would also like to hear from you who wish to take part and tell a short part of your story to others. If there are relatives of liver donors that would like to be involved in any way, to tell their story and express their opinions, we would also like to hear from you. We encourage all who wish to play a part in this site and have their say in a compassionate and genuine way that will not offend others. We look forward to your comments and stories that will help others and possibly yourself.
