trying frantically to find sources about how being fat and eating sugar doesn't cause diabetes before i talk to my mom about my blood sugar lmao but search engines hate giving me information

#it's... high. and 3 liver enzymes are high #i'm kinda hoping it's just stress or it's at least still reversable at this point but #my mom has diabetes and i know she's buying into the weight loss thing really hard (she's on some horrific medication to lose weight rn)#she says she's lost weight but idk how. i've never lost weight through starving myself #but yeah this is awesome i definitely hope i have one more health issue that doctors are likely to abuse me abt #darryl speaks

The most annoying part of my nine day hospitalization was that the night prior to rushing to the ER I had my last twelve ounce can of elderberry mead on the logic of "I haven't been in too much pain recently and I haven't needed to take Tylenol this week so I doubt I'll need it in the next twenty-four hours" only for about fifteen hours later having to weigh with the doctors the pros and cons of a high dose of acetaminophen in the face of agonizing abominable pain because IBD means I can't take NSAIDs and they didn't want to push opioids unless I was actually being admitted

#actually that's a lie the most annoying part was the constantly interrupted sleep that inevitably lead to sleep paralysis #but still #and predictably my liver enzymes were wonky. they've been wonky for a while but i have yet to have any symptoms from it so...#my doctors have said it's safe enough to drink OR take Tylenol regularly (never together!)#but for all i knew the enzyme levels had calmed down before i had that drink and then took Tylenol #alcohol #opioids #just chronic illness things

Definitely spooky being told "go to the emergency room" by your doctor

#mine #personal #apparently there's weird levels of liver enzymes in my blood rn almost as if i was severely alcoholic except i drink pretty rarely #at the same time as having really bad acid reflux #so he was like hey don't take your chances get checked in we'll schedule a bunch of tests with a specialist but for now you gotta hospital #definitely nervous but what am i gonna do #debating stopping to grab my steamdeck before i head over idk if they'll want to keep me #I've never actually been to the emergency room before

Reading And Interpreting Your Liver Function Test - A Guide To Commonly Used Liver Tests

The liver is a vital organ responsible for numerous metabolic functions in the body, including detoxification, protein synthesis, and bile production. Monitoring liver health is crucial for early detection and management of liver diseases. One of the primary tools for assessing liver function is the Liver Function Test (LFT). In this guide, we will delve into the commonly used liver tests, how to interpret the results, and what they indicate about your liver health.

Understanding Liver Function Tests

Liver Function Tests (LFTs) are a group of blood tests that provide valuable insights into the health and function of the liver. These tests measure various enzymes, proteins, and substances in the blood that are indicative of liver health.

Key components of Liver Function Tests

Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT): Elevated levels suggest liver damage, commonly caused by conditions like hepatitis or fatty liver disease.

Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST): Similar to ALT, elevated AST levels indicate liver damage but may also be elevated in conditions affecting the heart or muscles.

Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP): Elevated ALP levels may suggest liver or bone disease.

Total Bilirubin: Increased levels may indicate liver dysfunction or obstruction of bile ducts.

Albumin and Total Protein: These are measures of liver synthetic function; decreased levels may suggest liver disease.

What are the causes of abnormal liver function test results?

Causes of abnormal liver function test results can vary and may indicate different underlying conditions. Some common causes include:

1. Build-up of Fat in the Liver:

* Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) can lead to abnormal liver function tests, especially in overweight or obese individuals.

2. Liver Inflammation and Damage:

* Infections, toxic substances like alcohol or certain medications, and immune conditions can cause liver inflammation and subsequent abnormal test results.

3. Liver Overworking:

* When the liver is under stress from processing medicines or toxic substances like alcohol or paracetamol, it can result in abnormal liver function tests.

4. Bile Duct Blockage:

* Blockages in the bile ducts, such as by gallstones, can lead to abnormal liver function test results.

5. Liver Conditions and Diseases:

* Underlying conditions like Wilson's disease, haemochromatosis, or Gilbert's syndrome can affect liver function and result in abnormal test values.

6. Liver Injury:

* Physical injury to the liver, trauma, or presence of abscesses or tumors within the liver can cause abnormal liver function tests.

7. Medications and Supplements:

* Certain medications, over-the-counter drugs, herbal remedies, and traditional medicines can also impact liver function test results.

8. Other Factors:

* Factors like high alcohol intake, viral infections, autoimmune conditions, metabolic liver diseases, heart problems, and tumors in the liver can contribute to abnormal liver function tests.

Definitions – Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) refers to the presence of hepatic steatosis when no other causes for secondary hepatic fat accumulation (eg, heavy alcohol consumption (figure 1)) are present. NAFLD may progress to cirrhosis and is likely an important cause of cryptogenic cirrhosis. (See 'Definitions' above.)

NAFLD is subdivided into nonalcoholic fatty liver (NAFL) and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). In NAFL, hepatic steatosis is present without evidence of significant inflammation, whereas in NASH, hepatic steatosis is associated with hepatic inflammation that may be histologically indistinguishable from alcohol-associated steatohepatitis.

●Clinical manifestations – Most patients with NAFLD are asymptomatic, although some patients with NASH may complain of fatigue, malaise, and vague right upper abdominal discomfort. Patients are more likely to come to attention because laboratory testing revealed elevated liver aminotransferases or hepatic steatosis was detected incidentally on abdominal imaging. (See 'Clinical manifestations' above.)

Patients with NAFLD may have mild or moderate elevations in the aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase, although normal aminotransferase levels do not exclude NAFLD. (See 'Laboratory findings' above.)

Radiographic findings in patients with NAFLD include increased echogenicity on ultrasound, decreased hepatic attenuation on computed tomography, or an increased fat signal on magnetic resonance imaging. (See 'Radiographic findings' above.)

●Diagnosis – A definitive diagnosis of NAFLD requires all of the following (see 'Diagnosis' above):

•Demonstration of hepatic steatosis by imaging or biopsy

•Exclusion of significant alcohol consumption

•Exclusion of other causes of hepatic steatosis

•Absence of coexisting chronic liver disease

Radiologic findings are often sufficient to make a diagnosis of NAFLD, provided other causes of hepatic steatosis have been excluded. However, liver biopsy may be indicated if the diagnosis is not clear or to assess the degree of hepatic injury. (See 'Radiographic examinations' above and 'Role of liver biopsy' above.)

●Differential diagnosis – Other causes of hepatic steatosis include (see 'Differential diagnosis' above):

•Significant alcohol use

•Hepatitis C (particularly genotype 3)

•Wilson disease

•Lipodystrophy

•Starvation

•Parenteral nutrition

•Abetalipoproteinemia

•Medications

•Reye syndrome

•Acute fatty liver of pregnancy

•HELLP (hemolytic anemia, elevated liver enzymes, low platelet count) syndrome

•Inborn errors of metabolism

skin’s geting worse

#got a lot better for a bit but it’s quickly getting worse #new patches are forming #got a new rash all over my neck and collarbones #the skin is raw it hurts to touch or wear anything that’s not a tank top #same is happening on my thighs #ive also got a suspicious purple mark on my back #i feel like my liver and kidneys have been hurting a lot too #going to my regular doctor and my dermatologist next week #i have a pap smear scheduled so maybe i can ask them to check out my liver #gonna ask my doctor to check my liver enzymes or whatever as well #rash on my face is still around too #been googling my symptoms a ton and the closest matches for my symptoms are lupus hepatitis and something called itchy liver #i dont think its hepatitis though because i tested negative a month or so ago #dk why it would be liver disease cuz i havent been drinking much these last few months #whatever it is i hope its curable
