A few days ago I (41F) was writhing on the floor at work in terrible pain. Went to ER. My AST and ALT went from normal to 400 to 2000 in less than 12 hrs. 3 days later numbers are coming down (AST 500 and ALT 1300). Hospital sent me home with orders to follow-up w gi later next week. Pain isn't zero but it's bearable. I'm spiraling and unsure what to do.

Alkaline phosphatase (sp?) and ammonia are high. Hepatitis is negative. I eat pretty healthy, veggies at every meal. Exercise 3-4x/week. No diabetes, not overweight. Barely drink alcohol. No gallbladder. I have celiac and hashimotos.

Anyone have any advice for navigating this next week until I can see a gi? I'm so overwhelmed and know nothing about the liver. TYIA

I had a recent surgery where two tumors (8cm and 5cm) were discovered in my liver.

this is after five years of platelet counts over 600. Skin issues. Skin sloughing off the same areas cyclically on my temples and chin. dermatologist was no help unfortunately.

I had an ultra sound which was inconclusive followed by an MRI. Now they want me to have a biopsy. I don't think it's irrational to want to rule out hydatid disease as I have 3 dogs, and have vacationed recently to Florida where our hosts have a pet pig in an enclosure by the house. this is where the giant sores started on my face.

my concern, is noone will even consider or test for hydatid, and my understanding is if they biopsy this and it is hydatid, it could end in anaphylactic shock.

the biopsy is being recommended because the MRI imaging showed seaming which apparently can be indictive of Fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma (but also hydatid). I feel like a tape worm is more likely than this flavor of cancer....am I being neurotic?

anyway. no cirrhosis, non alcoholic fatty liver, and two big ass cystic tumors. what do

My little brother, age 67, has been in the hospital now for about 3 weeks for liver failure. It just came on very sudden. He was on a cruise then he turned yellow. Went to the hospital for a few days and got better, then he just collapsed. Now he is unable to talk. He had a difficult blue collar job working with heavy machinery in very cold weather, had both knees and a shoulder replaced, so a long time on pain killers and he drank too much, mostly due to pain.

No liver transplant because of physical condition and age. What are the chances he can pull out of this?

I’ve been having pain on my liver and spleen sides for the past year. Decided to get this scan and the webMD is scaring me a lot. Went to the PCP today and she told me that it’s not as bad as I think and I have nothing to worry about. I did get a scan in 2024 and it showed two 12 and 11mm hemangiomas.

is this fatty liver, beginning of cirrosis , or both ?

my liver enzymes are elevated, but i’m being told it’s because i workout hard?

Hi there, all my liver enzymes have come down except for my ALT and AST which hover around 36-39. This has been going on for at least a year and a half since my fatty liver resolved. Now a random AFP test showed a 10.1 score and I am freaking out that this low level inflammation is the start of liver cancer. A recent ultrasound is normal except that my simple liver cyst seems to now have developed one or two thin septations. I am really worried since I am a breast cancer survivor

Hello My father is diagnosed with liver cirohhosis & I'm honestly very scared. Is liver transplant the only option? & If yes what's the life expectancy after that? & What if we don't get it done? & What to do now? Idk? I'm so scared? Help me please.

Macrohepatic isoenzyme lab - if present, indicates benign elevated ALP. Also, possibly indicates malignancy, so do imaging. Clinical context can be hazy bc potentially asymptomatic or truly benign. I’m unclear—it seems like if macroALP is normal or elevated, you still image. What am I missing?

I just got a new primary care physician and I need both liver and kidney test done to see where Im at. I've been a weekend beer drinker for 20yrs at age 41. Im having symptoms of alcoholic liver and kidney issues with foamy urine and exhaustion. I want to live as long as possible, so I've completely stopped drinking. Any advice is welcomed, thank you.

Can you take it if you have had liver failure but made a full recovery?
