Shaking hands and another question

[Guest guest]

has started to have pretty bad shaking in his hands. His GI

sent him to a neurologist who found nothing wrong. My question is,

can his failing liver cause this to happen? I was just wondering if

anyone else has trouble with shaking.

Also, his GI just called and said he had talked with the hep at Vandy

about 's low albumin and the problems we have been having. He is

in the hospital about every 2 weeks now due to the ascites. His MELD

is a 20 and we are just waiting. Anyway, he is sheduling an

ultrasound and an MRI for tomorrow. He also asked about the number of

times is going the the bathroom. I told him that was hard to

say because of the J Pouch some days he goes more. He thinks that

could be part of the low albumin.

Any comments?

, I have noticed my husband's right arm shakes at times. We have never addressed this problem with his doctor, but I plan to bring it up at his next visit. Also, he has increased urination lately. However, his MELD count is still considerably low - only an 8. Janice Peace wrote: has started to have pretty bad shaking in his hands. His GI sent him to a neurologist who found nothing wrong.

Hi ;

I'm sorry to hear about 's problems with ascites, low albumin

and hand shaking. It's possible that the hand shaking could be due

to his failing liver. Hand tremors seem to be a sign of hepatic

failure, and is called " Asterixis " ; more commonly known as " liver

(or hepatic) flap " .

I hope that this helps.

Best regards,

Dave
