Avatar m tn 6' and 190lb seems like a good weight for your height. So I am suprised you have a fatty liver at your age. You must stay pretty active. The other thing this points to is poor diet. Having a fatty liver can lead to liver disease and quite often cirrhosis. So to answer your question "can having a fatty liver cause elevated liver enzymes?" Absolutely! Do you take any other medications on a regular basis? Pain pills? Even for head ache.
Avatar f tn is to consider in a more direct way that alcohol poisons the liver and makes it fatty. Your medications have been prescribed to help breakdown and eliminate the production of cholesterol and dilate your blood vessels.
Avatar n tn Most medications are either processed through the liver or the kidney. Effexor is metabolized in the liver, it is a natural biological process and does not harm the liver.
1296191 tn?1280699873 t improve at all, so I went to my regular doctor a while later. She was the one who told my family and I about the fatty liver and constipation. She suspected that I had a scratch in my large intestine and gave me some special painkillers that target the digestive system. The painkillers lost their potency, and the pain persisted. My mother took me back to see my doctor, who was at a loss. The one suggestion she gave me was that I might have an ovarian cyst.

Avatar n tn Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is common and, for most people, causes no signs and symptoms and no complications. But in some people with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, the fat that accumulates can cause inflammation and scarring in the liver. This more serious form of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is sometimes called nonalcoholic steatohepatitis. At its most severe, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease can progress to liver failure.

2131142 tn?1335648576 After the hysterectomy, CT and ultrasound showed 3 spots on liver and because they did not grow, doc said that it was endometriosis in the liver. Since then I have been diagnosed with NA Fatty Liver disease. I am now 57 and having abdominal swelling, stomach pain, nausea, upset stomach after eating (and can only eat very small meals and very bland). I am wondering do I need those 3 "spots" on my liver rechecked.
Avatar f tn It is useful in fatty degeneration of liver, hepatitis and non alcoholic fatty liver too. Silymarin is a flavonoid which helps reduce the effects of hepatoxins on the liver. It helps improve its resiliency. It contains many antioxidants which may be beneficial in many diseases. It also has anti-inflammatory and antifibrotic properties and stimulates protein biosynthesis and liver regeneration. These medications should be used only after consulting a doctor. Keep me posted.
Avatar n tn Yes, googling has been driving me nuts. I guess the biggest fright, that the scare of my LIVER and 6 months of the what ifs... and I kept thinking.. oh boy, all those years of on/ off drinking/ socially.. etc... and then.. you're fine. Then a year later... well, we need to check this out.... LIVER.. which is deadly, ya know?! Even had Cancer bloodwork for Liver.. which was normal. But, the fear... I am anxious about my elderly parents..
Avatar n tn There have been a few cases of liver failure possibly related to the use of mesalamine (the active ingredient in Asacol HD), but I haven't read anything about fatty liver as a side effect. A fatty liver, it takes between 6 months and 2 years to fully reverse. Dr Sandra Cabot's article "Fatty Liver - What Is Fatty Liver And How To Reverse It?
Avatar m tn The point is a fatty liver can cause inflammation and result in an enlarged liver and elevated liver enzymes. Since viral and autoimmune hepatitis have been ruled out in your case I think your fatty liver might well be causing your elevated liver enzymes. It appears that insulin resistance may play a significant role in the development of fatty liver. I would want to follow up with a hepatologist to get a diagnosis and treatment plan.
Avatar m tn Fatty liver can be due to alcoholism when it is called Alcoholic fatty liver disease and the other one is Non alcoholic fatty liver disease, which is due to obesity, diabetes and high triglyceride levels. This can progress to cirrhosis of the liver and can be associated with hepatocellular carcinoma. So, prevention or cure is by avoiding alcohol and treating diabetes, obesity and high triglyceride levels. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
Avatar m tn Hello, I have been diagnosed with fatty liver since a couple of years now and only recently starting doing something really concrete about it. I am 33 years old and overweight (250 pounds for 5'11) and have been dealing with a binge eating problem for about 10 years now... I am seeing a psychiatrist since about a year now and it helped me a lot. I have been an avid jogger for many years and recently resumed working out seriously.
Avatar f tn Fatty liver may be diagnosed with physical examination and through diagnostic tests such as blood tests and imaging studies. The only way to confirm a diagnosis of fatty liver disease is with a liver biopsy. It is best that you discuss the results with your attending physician for proper evaluation.Take care and regards.
Avatar m tn Steer clear of herbs and suppliments..this will worsen fatty liver. My cousin is a doctor and when I was diagnosed with fatty liver my hepatologist said to not use liver cleanses or herbs in any form or in any way. I hope this helps. Good health and luck to you in the future.
Avatar n tn I was diagnosed with a nonalcoholic fatty liver and had a biopsy and it is 50% fat. I could not take statins and my cholesterol, trig, etc. was sky high. I finally got a doctor who found a statin that I could take without all the side effects and my numbers are going down but it's only been two months that I have been on this.
Avatar f tn Liver problems including hepatitis are easily detected by an ultrasound scan and liver enzymes (which are raised). Hepatitis can result in fatty liver, but usually fatty liver is associated with fat rich diet, drinking alcohol, diabetes, obesity and dyslipidemias (high cholesterol and triglycerides). The good thing is that it responds to diet control and exercise. Also, yes, inflammatory bowel disease (which also causes lot of gas and stool problems) can also cause fatty liver.
Avatar m tn August 2017 i was diagnosed with fatty liver my sgpt is 225/69 and i was heavy drinker and overweight, I stopped Alcohol and change my diet by eating vegetables and staying away from pork/beaf and fast food.

Avatar m tn Hi, I have fatty liver. My liver enzymes have been elevated. Since I am 55 and haven't had a colonoscopy yet ( they think that i have a death wish}. Doctor won't treat me if i don't get one. Why would it be necessary for me to have a colonoscopy if i have a fatty liver. Would just diet and excercise fix the problem? Doctor said that fat in the diet is not the problem but carbs is. But the procedures for getting ready for the colonoscopy is carbs.
1717054 tn?1316712653 is the biopsy safe and doesn't damage the liver? does fatty liver damage the liver over time?
Avatar f tn Clinical trials are also looking at the effectiveness of certain antioxidants and newer diabetes medications in treating fatty liver disease. This is because of the disease's link to oxidative stress and diabetes.
Avatar m tn Then i had a ultrasound and CT scan and the doc said that i have an enlarged fatty liver and sterosis or something like that. What causes this? I dont drink alcohol at all or smoke or use drugs. The doc didnt give me any medication or tell me any advice or anything he just reffered me to a specialist and in have to wait months before he sees me. Can anyone offer me some advice on diet or what the problem could be?I feel its getting worse and i dont even have a proper diagnosis yet.
Avatar m tn Hello!! I too was told I have a fatty liver and I am not a drinker but maybe the foods I ate were the cause...I eat almost nothing fried and try to stay away from fatty things...it is just very hard because everything has some form of fat in it seems...I found out when I had my gall bladder out and woke up in recovery being told they took a biopsy from my liver and it was fatty....I freaked!! I am by no mean heavy I excercise and have always had a boring healthy diet...
Avatar f tn I'm a G3 and I've read that G3's are more likely to get fatty liver, and that it does improve after tx. I can't be sure about G2's, but, if you are SVR, your liver should improve slowly over time if you look after yourself and I would hope that says the same for fatty liver. I'm hoping to have an ultrasound soon, so I can check on progress.
