cipro and liver damage

you can end up with sever liver damage.

I have been really sick and am just wondering if these flu-like situations (liver and spleen pain and joint pain and fever and fatigue) are symptoms of further damage to my liver or what is happening to cause these feelings every so often. I also have a navel hernia that is quite painful with the ascites at times. It became obstructed in march and I had emergency surgery and now it is coming back out. Lastly, I am taking 80 mg of furmoside and 10 mg of ameloride.

If a doctor other than your liver doctor prescribes a medicine, remind him/her of your HBV status and ask whether that drug is liver friendly. Let your liver specialist know about any drugs and supplements you are taking.

The antibiotic Cipro will cause an elevation for some in their liver enzymes. Google Cipro and liver disease and you will find a multitude of data on liver disease and this antibiotic. Have read in the past where others have had issues with this drug regarding their liver. Was suggested that I take Cipro for a UTI, and after further investigation of Cipro decided to opt for another Tx.

I started 14 days more of cipro and Flomax and finally began to have normal voiding. but I had a fungal infection and my urological system is already damaged, permanently numb, pain.

An individual with Cirrhosis should not take any supplements, medications, or herbs without specific instructions from a hepatologist who is managing their care, and there are no supplements or herbs that will slow down the process of liver damage, since it is the Hep C virus that is causing the damage. Stick with your current plan of asking for a referral to a hepatologist in a liver transplant center, so that your Hep C treatment and your Cirrhosis can be properly managed by a hepatologist.

I was always under the impression that the liver is regenerative to an extent and that if I were able to detect slight damage early enough that the damage could be reversed by stopping treatment to allow the liver to regernerate. If that is not the case and any potential damage were permanent (even if caught early) I would not consider taking this medication. Thanks for any help and insight.

I've had a few UTIs over the last few years, which seem to have been pretty serious. my skin looks clear but on the inside I think there's a lot of vessel damage and pain. my penis skin was peeling and there were these cuts or sores on the top of the penis that wouldn't heal. maybe the fungus got into my urinary tract and infected everything? it's terrible is there anything to repair the numbness and vessels?

Regarding the urinary tract infection It sounds like the organism causing the problem is getting resistant to the drug Cipro and you may need a new prescription. Also, Cipro may be causing you to throw up. it is possible you have a kidney infection still and it is causing pain that is radiating to the front.

s a lot of vessel damage. my penis skin was peeling and there were these cuts or sores on the top of the penis that wouldn't heal. maybe the fungus got into my urinary tract and infected my prostate and everything? it's terrible is there anything to repair the numbness and vessels? I'm trying arginine but it's still terribly numb I'm a little diabetic, ha1c 6.5.

Hi, I have problems with UTI and kidney infections on a regular basis. I have been on Cipro on and off since 1994. Cipro has allways worked very well for me. I have not experienced side effects from this drug. I have had other antibiotics prescribed to me that did have some negative side effects. In my case Sulfa drugs causes hives. From 1994 up to 2003, I used to come down with UTI and kidney infections that required hospitalizations with a frequency of about every 3 to 4 months.

The association between Cipro and eye damage has not been established definitively as yet. However, you should report your case to Dr. Frederick Fraunfelder at the Eye Drug Registry. The registry's email is ***@****. The registry is accumulating data on the association between vitreous damage and Cipro.

He or she will most likely give you a prescription for Cipro....which is an antibiotic. Sometimes its not really clear what causes prostititus....and other times it could have been sparked by something bacterial.....which is why Cipro is commonly used. It can take anywhere from 30 to 90 days while on medication for things to improve. When I took Cipro...I was worried about the liver damage.

People can have elavated readings but have little or no damage and you can have normal readings but have damage.

I knew the breast cancer spreads to brain, liver lung bone and all. I have even heard of a case where it spread to kidneys and stomach. Personaly, cancer is cancer and lymph nodes are lymph nodes. I don't trust either one of them.

hi by the way my question is i recently take ciprofloxacin and it has side effect of like yellowish eye and skin/ vomitting and nausea.. and now im done taking the antibiotic .. and took a sgot and sgpt but it is high compared the normal value.. is it still the side effect of the antibiotic or there is really a problem with the liver and needs to be cured .. sgpt : 282.8 sgot: 213.

5 cm) liver met removed by HR in April 2012 making me Stage IVa. CEA has run between 2.4 and 3.1 (Labcorp) and even with the liver met, never went above 6.4. PET/CT w/o and CEA have shown me to be NED since HR with 80% of my liver removed due to location and clear margins. No chemo follow up. Can the quinolone Cipro afftect my upcoming CEA ? I am female, age 63 with no other health concerns.

I have had normal liver enzyme test and a normal ultrasound and ct scan, but I still have extreme bloating. This has been going on for months now. I worry because I binge drank on a nightly basis for about an 8 year span, 3-5(sometimes more) glasses of wine and such. 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.

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.

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.

Are these symptom of HB - I have to be at the Oncology Department on Tuesday to have an ultrasound done of the abdoman - seem to get frequent bladder infections and my liver reading indicated high level of anitbodies. I have drunk alcohol and do not smoke either. I have hypothyroidism but Dr made my Thyroxin and Armour intake too high per day - was on 125 mg Armour and 0.1mg of Thyroxin now cut to 50 Thyroxin and 40 Armour Thyroid. Could this impact on my liver?

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.

no telling and best to see ur doctor and have it checked...if liver damage is worrying u from massive tylenol use..get the doc to draw ur liver enzymes to know for sure ur liver is ok....the liver is amazing at adjusting/the whole body is/to abuse...I have often thought i had a liver made of concrete with the massive tylenol i ingested...

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? Sometimes I take one then another before the four hours are up for the next dose but mostly only one at a time. I just thought as long as I only took the recommended amount I wouldn't damage my liver.

I have been taking 3 to 4 vics a day. They are 10mg-660's. I don't drink, am I trashing my liver?? Please help, I'm stressin....because I have a mild pain that comes and goes in my upper right quadrant of my abdomin. I had blood work done 6 months ago and all liver panels were good. Had an ultrasound done as well and that came back perfect. What's going on here?

Recently I have noticed after being slightly constipated, and working out, a lot of pain/soreness in that area, and in my right lower back. I was curious if I might have damaged my liver awhile back, and maybe symptoms are showing now? I know the liver heals itself though, so I am not sure if I should just wait for it to still heal, or if I should get it checked out? Thanks for your help!
