According to research institutes, Ibuprofen overdose damages your internal organs like liver. While in some cases it has been reported that it has result in a permanent liver damage, in other cases where the victim was taking the dose for a long and continued period it has resulted in organ failure one by one.

Doc saw something on my liver thru a CAT scan. Now he wants me to have a sonogram. He says he is looking for liver lesions. What are my chances here. I'm 65, still work, a little overweight, very fair skin (always have been), woman, take estrogen for menopause treatment (have for 10 years), had a partial gastrectomy cause of stomach ulcers cause by ibuprofen so I switched to Tylenol.

The ultrasound indicates a suspicious object on your liver, a possible lesion. And your liver panel scores indicate liver inflamation. Get a CT Scan with Contrast. The contrast fluid will highlite any hard tissue (lesions or cirrhosis). The Radiologist will determine what this is. Have you been tested for Hepatitis C virus? HCV will lead to cirrhosis (scaring). Stay away from alcohol. Do not drink a drop. Stop taking any NSAIDS such as Advil, Ibuprofen. These harm the liver.

Killer headaches, and never any Tylenol around. Ibuprofen can't be that bad huh? Got to go to work and this headache must go.

Anything you ingest by mouth is eventually going to go through your liver. From what I've read, ibuprofen isn't as hard on the liver as tylenol (acetomenaphen or paracetamol), but still be careful to take no more than what the label says, and tell your doctor you're taking it. If it works, your doctor may direct you to take more than what's on the label, but again, follow instructions, dosage and timing carefully. Stay away from the "extra strength" formulas.

The problem with ibuprofen or tylenol is that you can cause liver damage that doesn't manifest immediately. An amount like 10,000 is too much for the liver to absorb at one time, and there can be considerable damage that you don't realize at this time. I think you should go to a physician, relate what you have told us, and get appropriate testing. Also,maybe some therapy.....that's helpful usuallly to everyone. Keep me posted. Good luck and God bless.

One thing to keep.in mind about incidentally found liver lesions is that they are benign the vast majority of the time, if you don't have chronic liver disease with advanced fibrosis or cirrhosis. And it sounds like your doctor is intending to do a followup imaging test as soon as your more stable which is the right thing to do. They will probably use a contrast-enhanced MRI to help add characterise data to the CT data they already have.

What does this mean, 2 liver lesions that are said to be metastatic colon cancer, contain minimal focal areas increased density likely calcifications?

What causes liver lesions & calculus of a kidney? I also have very bad fatigue. This discussion is related to <a href='http://www.medhelp.org/posts/show/228546'>Hepatic lesions on liver</a>.

I too was diagnosed with liver lesions about a year ago- I have two, 2.9 cm and 4.3 cm. I have had a ct scan, 4 ultrasounds, and an MRI. I just went to my GP and he said not to worry, if they were metastatic disease they would have grown or even killed me by now. My liver enzymes are also normal. I have made a decision, for my own peace of mind, to go see a liver specialist at the University of PA in Philadelphia.

Hi Seesa, Is your mom a drinker? I'm going through the same thing with my dad except he has cirrohsis of the liver from drinking. He had symptoms in '91 (varcise in the esophagus) but had been symptom free for 17 years and suddenly it happened again. The Dr. ordered a ultrasound and found a mass or a "lesion" in his liver. From what I have read on the internet, this could be cancer.

My husband is a 37yr old male who was told after a CT scan he had liver lesions. Lately, he has had severe back pain, feeling sick to his stomach, his stomach feels hard, he doesnt sleep well and feels like he always has acid reflux. He has an appt tomorrow for another CT and Ultrasound, however, we want to know if based on the symptoms if this is cancerous.

I got a "healthy" CT scan back with liver lesions noted. How do they know whether or not lesions are OK? Do they look different if they are malignant or cystic? THANKS!

I had a ct for a possible kidney stone, they found 3 liver lesions. The ER doc said to see primary doc right away, primary doc wants me to see liver specialist ASAP to rule out cancer.Everything seems rush-rush and it is unnerving. Are liver lesions a symptom of liver cancer?

Then from this I was told I may possibly have colon cancer and I would have to have a colonoscopy, which I did yesterday and I do not have colon cancer but I would need to have another CT scan in 3 months to look at the liver lesions. Why wait 3 months if the lesions are cancer would it not be better to start treatment ASAP? What else would they be looking for? Thanks.

In a recent contrast CT scan while being hospitalized for apparent duodenitis, cause not certain, numerous small liver lesions were seen. No symptoms, liver blood panel normal. GI sypmtoms were nausea, diarrhea, and mild stomach ache and got dehydrated. Also had an endoscopy. No other GI issues seen or suspected. Gastrologist doesn't even want to see me as follow up unless pain returns. Followed up with infectious disease MD who was consulted to check for infections.

The liver is normal in size, contour and attenuation. Possible tiny hypodense lesions in the liver are likely benign. What happen cause this. Do I need more test and treatment? I am worry about something happen to me. Please help.

Both US and CT revealed a 5mm cyst in the left liver lobe in addition to the 2 cm nodule in the right liver lobe. CT revealed a 8 mm nonenhancing lesion along the posterior left cortex compatible with a cyst on my kidney. The radiologist stated in the report the lesion warrants further evaluation. My PCP has me scheduled for a liver protocol MRI, which I will have in a few days.

t get rid of it, I have last stage Cirrhosis, am going to need a liver transplant before long, this can be taken safely with liver disease and hepatitis.

Acetaminophen far below the toxic dose taken on a daily basis can lead to liver damage. While ibuprofen can upset the stomach, there is a second drug, Cytotec (Misoprostol) that can protect your stomache while taking NSAIDs There are also enteric coated NSAIDs that do not dissolve in the stomach but dissolve in the intestines. We should always let our doctors know all of the medication, including over the counter, herbal supplements, vitamins and other substances (Medical Marijuana?

Karen, Your platelets are already low, and NSAIDs can increase the risk for bleeding; imho, acetaminophen over the ibuprofen, hands down. With low platelets from tx and a compromised liver and kidney system, any of the NSAIDs are contra-indicated for you (includes Motrin, Advil, Aleve). Tylenol is not to be taken indiscriminately either, though. With cirrhosis, no more than 2000 mg per day max (that means no more than 4 Extra Strength Tylenol in any 24 hour period).

mildly undulated and nodular contour of the liver suggesting early cirrhosis w/o findings of focal arterial enhancing lesions. Vascular anatomy is standard with left/right heptatic arteries arising from the common hepatic artery. Portal, SMV and splenic veins are patent and normal in caliber.

This past 2 weeks I was ill with the h1n1 virus. During the 2 weeks, I consumed over 50 200mg pills of ibuprofen. I have had blood work done twice (5 days ago and 2 days ago). Both resulted in increased liver enzymes. I haven't had any ibuprofen in 4 days. Is it possible that my liver enzyme increase is a result of the "overdose" with the ibuprofen. My doctor has scheduled another blood work screening in two weeks. Will my liver enzymes decrease in this amount of time?

If the AFP value rises dramatically, such as doubling in a month, then a CT Scan with Contrast comes to play to look for liver lesions. STATIN drugs - Advil, Motrin, Ibuprofen - are very hard on the liver and should be stopped immediately. Same goes for liquor in any amount.
