The Gastroenterologist recommended Liver Biopsy to check for liver damage. This is a scary procedure and I wanted to know if there are other alternative procedure/processes. Also, is there something I can do or treaments I can receive to treat this problem. I weight 122 lbs, and 5'4 tall. I take Glucophage XR, Januvia, Glipizide ER, Avapro (to prevent kidney damage, not hypertensive), Calcium with Vit D, Fish oil, Loratidine (hives as needed) and Zantac.

I would love to have those numbers.. i have to workout like crazy and eat very little to get close to those and thats also with taking another med with the metformin. I would say something is very wrong with what they are trying to do.

The levothyroxine has a long half-life within the blood and may also be withheld for 3 to 4 days without significant changes observed. The Januvia and blood pressure meds you shouldn’t mess around with, so the experiment may not be performed completely. . While you may think the diet has nothing to do with it, but I think investigating would be better than pure recall. You could try to make a log of things she eats and again try to make changes there depending on which foods seem suspect.

Been on januvia for a week. Blood sugar is not going below 120 ...and as high as 250. Was on glyburide. Had trouble with BS dropping as low as 40. Doc thought I would do better with this drug. I have only one kidney so was prescribed a 50mg dose. Will it regulate after I have been on for awhile?

I do not eat before exercise at five thirty every day. I am taking metformin glimperide januvia and atenolol for my high blood pressure. Before i exercise blood sugars are 156. After exercise they go to 226. Why? I take my meds about fifteen minutes before my exercise routine. Blood sugars continusously drop as the day goes on. before dinner time they can be 100. after eating they drop to 60 sometimes.

Hi, I recently posted about severe side effects I was experiencing with the drug Januvia , I had severe stomach pains and sore throat. My doctor has now prescribed Galvus and said they are from the same family as Januvia. Has anybody tried this drug? if so did you experience any side effects ,especially stomach pains? . It may sound stupid but I am a little scared to take Galvus after what happened before.

I have been on Metformin, Januvia and Glimeperide for a few years. They are not controlling my diabetes. She wanted me to try Victoza and give up the Januvia. I got over fear of giving myself the shot, but on the 3rd day I began to get sick. On the 4th and 5th days I couldn't even go to work. Changed shot to before bed instead of morning and it made no difference. After a little over a week I stopped it. Lost 5 lbs cause I couldn't eat anything.

What does this sound like, and what can I do about it? I am a Type 2 Diabetic, and take Metformin, Januvia, and Zoloft for anxiety.

I haven't drank since I heard the news but what I want to know is...if I get a new tattoo....can my damaged liver prevent it from healing right? I know the liver filters the toxins in your body and helps you recover, but would my liver affect my new tattoo in any way? Does anybody have any idea??

Also, a right upper abdomen pain that is referred to the shoulder can be due to liver and gall bladder problems, heavy meals or acidity that cause distension of the duodenum or any cause for distension of the small intestine. The symptoms could be signs of mild cirrhosis or stricture or stone in common bile duct or liver fibrosis. It could also be fatty liver. In your case alcohol and drug related causes are ruled out.

The interpretation of elevated AST and ALT levels depends upon the entire clinical evaluation of an individual, and so it is best done by physicians experienced in evaluating liver disease and muscle disease. AST and ALT are elevated in people with cardiovascular, liver and muscle disease. What can you do about this? GET AN APPOINTMENT WITH YOUR DOCTOR ASAP. This doesn't happen overnight. It takes years to develop. Your doctor hasn't mentioned this before? Good luck.

My dog Caylee has an enlarged liver and has had urinary problems for over a year now. We took Caylee to the vet last Friday for another urinary problem and the vet said her abdomen has fluid in it. She is continuing to get bigger and I would like to know if there is something I can do to help her. My husband is not ready to put her to sleep yet as Caylee and him spend 24/7 together.

Definate sign of the alcohol and liver problems. He is slowly killing himself and you will be able to nothing but watch unless he decides to quit. How long have you dated this guy? It really is sad I know but I hope you understand that you can do nothing for him. Well actually you can enable him and subject yourself to a ton of pain. It is so very sad and I am one of those who think alcohol is no different if not worse than any other substance people abuse except is it legal.

Liver problems are due to excessive drinking during his lifetime, and thanks for the help!

The doctor even ran a full hep panel to ease my mind since I also was experiencing pain in my ruq area. I am still not convinced that my liver is healthy and want to have a biopsy done but my doctor doesn't want to do this. He wants to do an EGD to rule out any internal bleeding but doesn't think a biopsy is necessary. Here are my questions. Is it possible that I have alcoholic liver disease? Can someone with alcoholic liver disease become pregnant and deliver a healthy child?

With abstinence from alcohol, your liver can repair itself. Short of cirrhosis, it can repair itself completely. And even with cirrhosis, it will significantly improve in terms of function. (if you quit drinking) I had similar issues, and was diagnosed with fatty liver disease. 6 months of abstaining from alcohol, and a scope showed my liver as "normal" again.
