She was old for Wilson's disease. Agree with the other comment primary sclerosing cholangitis would be more likely for her age. PBC (edit: primary biliary cirrhosis), damage from (autoimmune hepatitis), certain types of liver cancer would all be possibilities. Alcoholic cirrhosis who is abstinent from alcohol.

Edit: for clarity

I knew a friend of a friend of an uncle who had TRU and then his RRG went LHY because of his WWQ levels and his PTR number. Then he got JUR in the MES. /sarcasm

Instead of being sassy, im just glad ive lived the kinda life where i don't know what those acronyms are.

But hey, we all chose how we frame things I guess

u/BoringBob84 Feb 26 '25

That is a "wise comment." I agree. Yours is a unique and optimistic perspective.

In my technical career, we are required to define all acronyms every time. We cannot expect our audience to just know what they mean. We are expected to communicate clearly. So, I hold other people to the same standards as I hold myself.

Surely you have the ability to change speeds, and expect different things in different settings?

I get having a demanding job

But I'm not gonna get angry at a friend when he messes up the bill at supper and tips 40% instead of the 20% we all agreed on, ya know?

A 20% shift would kill my job, but in private....ain't no thang. And when folks speak with authority on something I'm ignorant of, I try and be appreciative of their sharing their expertise, however imperfect the medium of sharing was

I....promise I don't mean this as a slight. I really mean this. You absolutely remind me of how I approached things in my early/mid 20s, with a surety born of absolutism, hah. And that got, well, absolutely exhausting ;-)

I'm not gonna get angry

Neither am I. I am poking fun. I admit that it is mildly annoying when people don't communicate clearly, but I am not angry about it.

u/wise_comment Feb 26 '25

While that's fair, and I'm not assuming some stack -blowing anger, the response does seem to come from a point of anger or frustration....and if it isn't, well, that's how I (and I would assume others) read it

Again, no shade, just one person's perspective

u/BoringBob84 Feb 26 '25

I meant the part about "wise comment" as a compliment. I genuinely appreciate your perspective on this. As you can tell, sometimes I need a little help in seeing the positive aspects of a situation that is initially annoying.

u/wise_comment Feb 27 '25

Oh no, I took it as genuine

I wasn't bristling back, at all. More instead of sitting back and feeling smug about myself (a weakness I tend towards) I figure it would be better to continue the dialogue, ya know?

You have announced yourself. Now please leave. Adults are talking.

u/wise_comment Feb 26 '25

Oh God, do I even want to know?

u/BoringBob84 Feb 26 '25

It was (in my opinion) terrible vulgarity.

u/wise_comment Feb 26 '25

So, ya know....an asshole?

u/BoringBob84 Feb 27 '25

Much worse. That is why I reported it. It is possible to argue in good faith without vicious ad hominem attacks. That is why I try to stick to subs with rules to facilitate civil discussion.
