I have 36 year old woman. My liver have doubled in the last two years. They have done all kinds of blood tests. I won about 40 kg in less than two years. I have headaches, stomach aches, nausea having pains all over my body and not sleeping very well. What I can do?
I would suggest referred to a gastroenterologist or hepatologist. If this weight gain is fluid accumulates in the abdominal area, this fluid could be eliminated by a process known as paracentesis. In liver disease, liver is unable to produce efficiently a protein known as albumin, which usually … contain fluid in a person ships, but now it leaks and accumulates there. There is also a condition known as encephalopathy, where the body is not able to convert a protein product, known as ammonia, urea in the body have … stays in the blood and crosses the blood-brain barrier and brain. Can cause a patient to be easily confused, disoriented, and also have sleep pattern changes. Patients with liver disease, depending the cause, you may feel very tired and flu-like symptoms. If placed on steroids to help with inflammation in the body, can easily develop osteopenia. You do not mention any other evidence in addition to blood tests. If you have an ultrasound or CT scan would show if your liver is enlarged in size is caused by damage to liver cells and the body's immune system responds to this. There are many causes of liver cell damage … see if any of these may apply to you: alcohol, drug detoxification, chemical exposure, viral infections such as hepatitis ABC biliary obstruction / malformation or infection, hereditary disease, metabolic disorders, parasitic infections, heart and vascular disease fatty liver, mushroom poisoning, tumors / growths / cysts / cancer and other things. There are different blood tests, doctors do, to see if I could have a liver problem. Liver enzymes may show whether the damaged cells, liver function test shows if the cells are able to do all functions, the liver as a whole does, to keep the body well. The liver viral tests may show whether there is a virus that uses cells liver to replicate itself and others, too. However, in some patients, a liver problem does not appear in the blood test, although it is well advanced in sickness (do not know why this happens, but it does). I truly believe that it would get a second opinion on your case. Sometimes what a physician can happen another would immediately. However, it is best to be seen by one of the professionals I mentioned above, as they are more advanced in the knowledge of a physician primary care can be. This is just a suggestion … without medical training and see the evidence … we can not know what might be happening. I'm going, saying that his liver has been doubled. I hope this is of some help to you. We also suggest that thyroid function be checked, too. The best test to check the liver, a liver biopsy … because they are looking directly into the liver tissue, not only the films of the same. My Best wishes to you … I hope you find out what is happening and can be addressed shortly.
