[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 1799964, member: 17713"] There are blood tests that can be done to rule out liver problems. Unfortunately GPs in UK seem to only do limited tests. I went to see a private luver soecialist with a friend last week that has had some really high LFT results. The GP did some more but only my arranging an urgent private consultation has now got the GP doing more blood tests. The GP had also ssupposedly looked at her meds and suggested one that she had beeen on for 10 years could be the cause. Thee liver specialist ruled this out. Friends GP did arrange an uktrasound, that was clear. However, when going through other meds it was suggestted by the liver specialist to stop a hormone tablet that she had been put on as in rare cases iit can cause liver problems. Her gynae cant do hysterectomy as her wom. Is stuck to scar tissue from other internal operations with colon and bladder. She hd to stop hormone pills immediately-, bloods in two and four weeks and baack to specialistha in 5 weeks. Then if no improvement or the extra bloods dont show anything, thuen she will be put back thru nhs for urgent biopsy. He has assured her that lier can repair itself from certain mcauses. So, loook at any other drugs you may be on, and check whether GP has done all the relevent bloodtests. [/QUOTE]
