synthroid liver damage

While we should always try to take the minimum of meds because of our liver damage - you have to remember we live in a real world and we gotta do what we gotta do. Hopefully the doctor is smart enough to give you medications that are metabolized in the kidneys instead of the liver and so your liver isn't being put under additional strain. You can always ask them to double check on that.

Dr. Lupo: 42 year old male w subclin Hypo due to Hashi's. TSH 6 to 10 but Free Ts totally normal and originally antibodies. Currently on 75mg Synthroid. The last couple of weeks, I started feeling really cruddy: constipation, cramping in hands and feet, palpatations at night. Also started sweating a lot during my workouts and eyes hurting. Coudn't sleep. Racing thoughts. Never had this in past year. I went to get blood draw and got back results showing TSH at 3.

I am so scared I have caused damage to my liver. After I get off of these will it repair itself or am I in trouble. The only syntom I have right now is welling in my akiles and feet. But i have taken fluid pills for the fluid for yrs before I started taken lorcet.

That was about 21 years ago that she had that done. She never had the prescription filled and consequently never took the first pill. My problem, being somewhat hyper, is if I allow them to give me I-131 then I'm going to be hypo for the rest of my days and that includes the possibility of having other problems that heretofore I never had.

The recommended dose of paracetamol for a single adult is two standard 500 mg tablets. Researches have reported that the threshold for liver damage to start from a single paracetamol overdose is 15 gms (30 tablets). However liver damage could start to occur at a single overdose of 24 standard tablets or 150 mg/kg body weight, (whichever is the smaller).

(Former drug user) what are the chances I already have liver damage??? I go in the morning for a liver scan to check and I am nervous to know!!!

Is it possible to cause liver damage from a few years of pain med abuse? Damage severe enough to cause stomach pains?

I have been taking Darvocet for about two years now. I began just taking one a week at night after a bad day and it has progressed to 1-3 daily for about 6 months now. I went to the Dr. for a checkup yesterday and the ALT liver function test was high. The other liver tests were normal just that one was high. The Dr. thinks it is from my acid reflux medication and is changing that but I rarely take it. Could it be the Darvocet?

Can anyone tell me what it's called when you have liver damage from medications

The only way to truly ease your mind is by being totally honest with him/her. I have liver damage and kidney damage due to drugs stage 2 liver stage 3 kidney.. if your liver were damaged and you had a flare your belly would be extended/pain upper right you would be lethargic/vomiting.. other symptoms but these being severe.. It is not fun and I would not wish it on anyone.. I contracted hep C from slamming and further continued the damage through pills/alcohol..

I have never been to hospital, I dont appear to have yellowing of the skin or eyes. What is the likly hood of damage to my liver, and if stoped now could my liver possibly recover from and damege.

Hard to say but if he stops attacking the liver with alcohol, no further damage should be done and some of those numbers should go down at least a little.

My brother has been in the hospital for 12 days for liver damage. His skin and eyes are yellow, abdomen pain and swelling of the stomach. They drained off 12 liters of fluid from stomach area. He's has dementia, no communicating with him that makes any sense. In this situation what is his chance to make it through this? The doctors and nurses are not saying much, but wait and see.

week 24 bloodwork showed virus undetectable [good news] my question is,the biopsy shows fatty liver and stage 3 liver damage. if the svr continues, will my liver heal itself? does this stage of damage cause fatigue. i know the peg/copeg can cause fatigue im just wondering if after i stop tx will my energy level improve? if anybodys got any 411 on this id sure like to know. thanx.

what causes liver damage ? is it HBV or our immune systems ? as well what is the cause of liver cancer and HCC?

Should I be worried that I have liver damage that is just not showing up? I have changed my diet significantly ( no dairy or gluten) but I am still very bloated. I am sick with worry that I have caused permanent damage. I am still very young, 28. What are ur thoughts?

I am really confused. I have taken synthroid pills for 25 years. I was told that I had hypothyroidism. I was told that I didn't have a thyroid problem so I have been off it for 5 years. Now I go to the doctor and they say that my thyroid is too high. Is that hyperthryoidism now? What is going on? I have not lost any weight I am still heavy, but I do have some problems going on with liver tumors that have reoccurred after having the lower right side of my liver removed.

s always been elevated which is an indication of some type of liver damage. They also use GGT levels to determine if someone is using alcohol. Haven't drank in years and I know my liver is not in the best shape so I don't worry about it. Hope your enzymes normalize as tx progresses.

Just thinking,,,if a person is a stage 2 with moderate damage and does one full treatment and relapses,would the liver have reversed back to at least a stage 1?...also with this liver improvement,wouldnt the next round of treatment make it more sucessful...starting as a stage one now as appossed to stage two at the orginal start? i know there are chances of viral mutations and all that ,but all these things aside...i think this is positive news to the re-treater....ANY THOUGHTS?

Any guesses on how much cummulative damage is being done to a liver with ALTs in the 22-69 range over 10 years (average about 41)? Very low viral load. E-negative. E-antibody +.

Perhaps that is what happened along with nerve damage and/or vocal chord damage .. she should see an ENT for a complete evaluation and swallow study is what I think an ENT would do. Just my thoughts and I'm so sorry to read all your Mom has gone thru.
