: I came across a foggy web site that suggested hemarroids might be indicative of liver disease.  I have them and slightly elevate enzyme levels.
What's the story on the correlation -- if any -- between these (hemarroids and liver disease).
As always, thanks.

Dear JBK,
Hemarrhoids are a common complaint and most people with hemarrhoids do not have liver disease.  Having written that I must also add that sometimes liver disease can produce very large hemarrhoids.

What about liver disease can or does cause or contribute to hemarroids?
Thanks
_______Cirrhosis can cause hemarrhoids but most people with hemarrhoids do not have cirrhosis
