back pain right above kidney

d about liver damage when mixing tyenol and alcohol together.  If this is a liver problem, what kind of doctor do I see and what can they do for me?  Is there anything I can do holisitically at this point?

[Kevin Pho, MD]

Any general internist of family physician would be the first step.  With the combination of alcohol and tylenol, there is the possibility of liver damage.

The first test would be to obtain blood liver enzymes.  Further testing like an ultrasound or testing for hepatitis can be based on the enzyme results.

This option can be discussed with your personal physician.

Followup with your personal physician is essential.
