Medical question re liver
I know somebody that has cirrhosis of the liver. In conversation she said her liver condition is N.
That is it, just plain N. I have never heard of just letters being used in this context.
Maybe she misheard it or misspoke when talking to me.
Maybe I got it wrong.
I didn't feel comfortable to question her on it.
Thought maybe some of the medical folks her might be able to explain it.

Maybe 'End' was heard as 'N' ? As in 'End Stage' ...

From google:

"What are the 4 stages of cirrhosis? There are 2 clinical stages of cirrhosis: compensated and decompensated cirrhosis. However, some health experts may refer to the 4 stages of liver disease. These include inflammation, fibrosis, cirrhosis, and end-stage liver disease."

If it is end stage, I'm sorry for her.

Maybe she did say end instead of N. My hearing isn't the greatest but I really did not hear the word stage.
Saddest part is that it is my big sister. July 2an will be her 81st birthday.

Could also be referring to her Nash score but only got part of it.
Nash is how they rate the disease.
