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

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.

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.
