1714226 tn?1308625105 hi, I am a 1 1/2 year post liver transplant patient. My advice is to see a GI specialist who focuses on liver disease. There are a series of diagnostic procedures they would recommend if warranted. If liver disease is confirmed then they should request blood labs to determine a MELD score. In a nutshell, this can become very overwhelming but I am trying to reassure you that there many steps to take before determining the worst case.
1714226 tn?1308625105 Hi, my name is Patty and I am 29 years old. To say that liver disease runs in my family would be a huge understatement, for my grandmother, aunt, and my father have all died of cirrhosis of the liver. Neither of the 3 were alcoholics either. Since the age of 18, I have had routine checkups and blood work, keeping a close eye on my liver function and health. In January of 2010, I was diagnosed with gallbladder disease and had surgery to remove it.

Avatar n tn In the decompensated stage of liver disease, the liver becomes unable to break down and rid the body of ammonia. Toxic levels build in the blood and brain, causing a condition known as hepatic encephalopathy. Symptoms of this condition include behavior and personality changes, fatigue, drowsiness, slurred speech, confusion, disorientation and muscle twitching. In the last stage of hepatic encephalopathy, seizures, coma and death occur.
Avatar m tn So 2 weeks after sex, I get joint pains and muscle pain, and fatigue. 1 week later, these go away, but I don't develop any liver symptoms (as of yet). Is it possible to get symptoms that early with any of the heps, alongside no development of any liver conditions?
Avatar n tn Besides this they are also elevated in conditions like muscle injury and sometimes due to medications. If you do not have symptoms of liver disease like jaundice, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and fever, I would advise you to wait for now and repeat the test after four weeks to see how the levels are progressing. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
Avatar n tn As coraggio said, a person does not usually qualify for Social Security disability until they have End-Stage Liver Disease when the liver is too damaged to treat the hepatitis C virus and the only option is a liver transplant. The symptoms you are experiencing are not symptoms of hepatitis C or liver disease and without a documented diagnosis, you have no chance of receiving disability. Also to receive Social Security Disability Insurance it has to be a condition the lasts at least a year.
Avatar m tn However, many have chronic liver disease, which can range from mild to severe, including cirrhosis and liver cancer. Chronic liver disease in HCV-infected persons is usually insidious, progressing slowly without any signs or symptoms for several decades.
Avatar m tn From the Mayo Clinic “Symptoms: Liver disease doesn't always cause noticeable signs and symptoms. If signs and symptoms of liver disease do occur, the may include: Skin and eyes that appear yellowish (jaundice) Abdominal pain and swelling Swelling in the legs and ankles Itchy skin Dark urine color Pale stool color Chronic fatigue Nausea or vomiting Loss of appetite Tendency to bruise easily” https://www.mayoclinic.
Avatar n tn Take omeprazole (empty stomach in morning) and antacid gel and see if it helps (I am not sure what medications you are on). Liver and kidney dysfunction is another cause. Hence kidney and liver function tests should be done. Other causes are diabetes and hypothyroidism. Electrolyte imbalance too can cause nausea. IBS, gluten or lactose intolerance, parasites in gut too can be the cause. A stool test should be done for worms, giardiasis etc.
Avatar n tn however, most affected individuals do not have any symptoms. In some cases, polycystic liver disease appears to occur randomly, with no apparent cause (sporadically). Most cases are inherited as an autosomal dominant genetic trait. Sometimes, cysts are found in the liver in association with the presence of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (AD-PKD). In fact, about half of the people who have AD-PKD experience liver cysts.
Avatar f tn Stage 4 liver disease just means cirrhosis (scaring of the liver). Cirrhosis covers many degrees of illness. For people with early cirrhosis and no symptoms or blood abnormalities to people who's liver is failing and close to death. So stage 4 means you have cirrhosis of the liver but it doesn't say how advanced your cirrhosis is. You say your platelets are low. How low? Numbers matter. You need to see a specialist in liver disease ASAP.
Avatar m tn Someone very dear to me was diagnosed with decompensated liver disease back in May, during the last two months ascites keeps building up and has been drained twice. Now vomiting brown stuff and sleeping constantly. Are we nearing the end?
Avatar m tn If you do not have symptoms of liver disease like jaundice, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and fever, I would advise you to wait for now and repeat the test after four weeks to see how the levels are progressing. The cholesterol also the goal is 200 but up to 240 is considered the normal range. For this in general avoid all food high in fat and cholesterol.

Avatar m tn My doc seemd to think its a good thing my liver enzymes are normal with stage 4 liver disease. However, a friend said they are normal, not high because my liver csn no longer produce. That friend is a PA...
Avatar n tn A doctor usually orders GGT along with other tests to evaluate a person who has signs or symptoms that suggest liver disease. Some of the symptoms of liver injury include jaundice, nausea, vomiting, abdominal swelling, abdominal pain, pruritus (severe itching), and fatigue. GGT is increased in most diseases that cause acute damage to the liver or bile ducts, but is usually not helpful in distinguishing between different causes of liver damage.
248382 tn?1274938634 Rarely, liver damage has been associated with the use of valerian. It's not certain whether the cause of the liver damage was due to valerian itself or to contaminants in the product. Until we know more, people should use valerian only under the supervision of a qualified health care practitioner and those with liver disease should avoid it.
Avatar m tn Are you also having any other symptoms suggestive of liver disease like jaundice, vomiting, abdominal pain etc? Your skin symptoms could be due to any allergy, inflammation or infection. The common possibilities are insect bites, impetigo, dyshidrotic eczema etc. In dyshidrotic eczema there are small red bums or blisters on the palms of your hands or soles of your feet. Consult a dermatologist. Treatment will be specific based on the cause. Keep me posted. Best luck and regards!
Avatar f tn To check for liver disease she needs a blood test for liver enzymes, called a "hepatic function panel". Maybe she should be tested for hepatitis also. If all tests of gallbladder came out negative, then gallbladder isn't the likely cause of elevated bilirubin. But there still may be a "functional disorder" of the biliary duct. This should be evaluated after liver tests, if necessary.
Avatar n tn I am XMRV positive (was in the WIP study) but my docs here and at Mayo were scanning and biopsy-ing and blood and urine testing me like crazy for two years, sure that I had a malignant pheochromocytoma -- I have tumors in the liver and spleen that looked metastatic, sky-high catecholamine levels, heat intolerance, vomiting, sweating. Absolutely you can vomit with XMRV.
