Avatar m tn 16 extra strength Tylenol -little vomiting an hour later -very unsteady -frequent urination Now (24 hours after last dose) I just feel a little dizzy and unsteady but otherwise completely fine. No symptoms of liver damage. I'm quite positive I will be completely fine because honestly (this is going to make me sound ridiculous...) I always tolerate high doses of meds well and I'm, like, immune to side effects. But, none the less, I wanted a second opinion. Your thoughts??
Avatar m tn More than 1100 drugs, herbal remedies, natural products, vitamins, minerals, dietary supplements, and recreational and illicit compounds are known to cause liver injury......be very carefull about what you take, their source and make blood tests while taking them to check toxicity/benefit http://archive.mail-list.com/hbv_research/message/20101201.190417.3706e442.en.
Avatar f tn causing liver damage. It simply is not true. There are great differences between drugs and the various antivirlas have widely different toxicity and side effect profiles. I wonder whether your doctor is over-interpreting guidelines for using the anti-HSV drugs. The official prescribing information advises stopping the drug periodically, like once a year. But that's not because of toxicity.
Avatar f tn the risks seem high for liver toxicity and i am not getting that my dr. knows much about this combination. has anyone been in this situation? what to do?
Avatar f tn of their liver and didnt feel any problems. Would elevated liver enzymes or liver toxicity cause a change in the physical feel of the liver through physical examination?
12757438 tn?1433673730 I agreed, however now Belle’s health keeps yo-yoing back and forth. She was fine and tolerated some water and a few bites to eat and then the next time I talked to them she had peed bright orange was turning yellow and needed a blood transfusion. She is in the middle of her 80 ml. blood transfusion right now. They promised me she did not seem to be in pain and that other than the discoloration and declined labs she seems to be okay.
Avatar m tn Hepatomegaly is a nonspecific medical sign having many causes. Which can be broken down into infection, direct toxicity, metabolic disorder, fatty liver itself. To tell you what precautions to take. I would say the first thing would be to stop drinking alcohol. Drinking will scar the liver more, causing worse conditions. If you are taking recreational drugs. You need to stop this too. There are some things you don't have control over.
Avatar f tn I trust pretty much all the information I read from the Mayo Clinic site. Here is the information I was able to locate for you. I have no idea if detoxing really works. Leave it up to the professional to help you with that one :) Here is what a nutritionist from the Mayo Clinic had to say about them..... Question Detox diets: Do they work? Do detox diets offer any health benefits? Answer from Katherine Zeratsky, R.D., L.D.
547836 tn?1302832832 I try to avoid fat soluble vitamins seeing that the liver is a major processor and storage for lipids. Vitamin A has a toxicity level that may lead to liver failure. VITAMIN B's: WATER SOLUBLE ---BIOTIN: Helps grow nails and hair, I know some of you are on it, but I was hesitant to take this although B's are water soluble (extras excreted with urine). Biotin is associated with fatty acids, not sure how it works with the LIVER therefore I try to avoid even during extreme hair loss.
29837 tn?1414534648 Well, the dental association will lead you to believe that amalgam (silver) fillings are safe. There is no conclusive evidence up to modern day that verifies that. On Netflix, there is a documentary that shows actual mercury vapors coming out of a tooth filled with amalgam. I mention this because we don't need any more toxicity to the liver than we get from day to day food, drinks and so on. The alternative is composite fillings. Those are the ones that look like natural teeth enamel.
250701 tn?1320974765 The Incivek prescribing informations lists clarithromycin, erythromycin and telithromycin as antibacterials that can cause drug interaction. "Concentrations of both telaprevir and the antibacterial may be increased during co-administration. Caution is warranted and clinical monitoring is recommended when co-administered with telaprevir. QT interval prolongation and Torsade de Pointes have been reported with clarithromycin and erythromycin.
Avatar m tn A growing body of research indicates that oxidative stress is a major mechanism underlying drug-induced liver toxicity and alcoholic liver disease. Oxidative damage also contributes to steatosis (fat buildup in the liver), fibrosis, and liver cancer. Hepatitis C virus (HCV) itself promotes oxidative stress, and this effect is magnified in people coinfected with HIV. Oxidative stress, in turn, facilitates HCV replication. What Is Oxidative Stress?
Avatar f tn 4000+ mgs a day can be detrimental to both your kidneys and your liver? I pretty much had an idea this was the case, but for the last year or so, someone very close to me takes this much, and gets sick every time he eats. He also has extreme lower back pain at times, and the doctors at the quick care keep saying it's his back, and give him even more lortabs! Could getting sick after eating mean he as something wrong with his kidneys or liver?
29837 tn?1414534648 Anyone taking a protease inhibitor should have his or her liver function closely monitored. Blood tests can be done that check the health of the liver and other organs. These tests look for problems, such as hepatitis infections, that could effect how the protease inhibitors work, or increase the chance of side effects. Protease inhibitors can make hepatitis worse, so it's important to know if you have hepatitis B and/or C before starting a protease inhibitor.

Avatar n tn An abdominal ultrasound is performed to evaluate the kidneys and the liver. An ultrasound-guided biopsy of the liver or kidneys may be necessary to determine the extent of damage to these organs or to confirm that Rimadyl® is the cause of the damage. Treatment Hospitalization is necessary to provide definitive treatment and may require two to five days.
Avatar f tn I was sick last week, chills, aches, unbelievable fatigue. Had been on Augmentin for a sinus infection, just finishing up the script, and take Crestor, Nexium, and Zyrtec on a regular basis. Symptoms started a few days after starting generic Zyrtec, which also caused unbelievable dryness that felt like I was dehydrated (no vomiting, though). A day after the chills, I noticed my urine was dark and my stools were very light, almost gray, and I started getting very itchy but no rash.
Avatar m tn there are trials already i posted in the past, also the effect of sim on liver was reviwed by liver researchers and they said it has no toxicity the elevations of alt that can happen on few are due to a balance of lipids not toxicity because the alt elevation is transient and resolve itself the only serious side effect of sim that can happen is muscle damage or mitocondrial discorder, very rare statins cause acute liver failure in chronic hbv patients?
Avatar n tn Then read about the grapefruit juice-turns out they use the same enzyme to clear your system so you can get too much of the drug in your system and get liver toxicity. Grapefruit acts that way with many drugs, so check first, then drink up.
Avatar m tn Due to the extremely low susceptibility to resistance and very low toxicity this drug became the cornerstone of antiviral treatment for HIV and HBV. It made Gilead Billions, of which Holy has seen a million a year grant for his Institute in Prague. At the day he died, the FDA had approved Truvada, a combo of tenofovir and emtricitabine (FTC) (300/200mg) for use as a preventative in healthy individuals exposed to risk of infection.
163305 tn?1333668571 The study results suggest that long-term exposure to an ultra-low, environmental dose of Roundup at an glyphosate-equivalent concentration of only 50 ppt (parts per trillion), in an established laboratory animal toxicity model system, can result in liver and kidney damage, with potential significant health implications for humans as well as domesticated animal and wildlife populations.
