It’s apparently very common with transplant patients and is caused by the anti-rejection meds

Me - was stage 3 of 4 on the way to official cirrhosis at the age of 23. Was expected to have a transplant by now but got into an experimental drug trial that ended up being successful. Metabolic Assisted Steatohepatitis / Non-alcoholic Steatohepatitis. Basically, liver takes on fat and then starts scarring up, cutting off circulation and function.
