Hi, I'm patientKidney diet - dialysis patients with budd-chiari. I've known since 2000 and I was wondering if there is anyone who would like to talk about it. I would really like to talk to someone I can relate to. Thanks!

I was wondering how your husband is doing?  I was diagnosed with BCS last summer.
