Liver problems are very common w/ CF. When I was 10, I started seeing a liver specialist b/c I had some sirrosis on my liver. The ducts in the liver can be cloged with mucus just like in other places. I was put on Actagol, also known as Ursadoil, I think that's how you spell it. It thins the bile in the liver. I was on it for a few years and had liver function tests every six months. Now I only do them once a year and things have been normal. Debbie22 yr old w/ CF
