MedHelp Member's Question

CFS and/or Fibromyalgia cause Liver problems?

by Arborblessing, Nov 07, 2009 02:28PM

Can CFS or related chronic conditions contribute to elevated LIver results after major surgery (lasting about 5 hrs)? The liver emzens are within ok levels, but the other blood tests three or four of them, one or two were elevated a lot. The results led to the drs considering a blockage NOT medicine related. An ultrasound showed nothing out of the norm, no stones, etc.

I have had four blood tests, have little if no pain in the liver or gallbladdar areas, only pain I have is a sharp pain in belly area, directly to the side - about three four inches over or a litle higher than belly button.

Any suggestions or notes about liver problems after major surgery, fusion of L5-L6, about six weeks ago? Not drugs/medicine related?
Thanks you

To: Arborblessing,

I have heard of CFS patients have gallbladder problems and often alternative medicine practitioners will diagnose them as having a "toxic" level.

Sorry... wish I could be more of help.

Best,

Do you have nausea? If so ask for an MRCP. This is a test testing the common bile duct. Perhaps it got damaged in the surgery.

Also ask if maybe the liver could've gotten bruised. If so, will it eventually heal?
