gjgalliganMedical 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.

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

6gunsFrom 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.

gjgalliganMaybe 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.

220-9erCould also be referring to her Nash score but only got part of it.
Nash is how they rate the disease.
