Cold Medicines
What cold medicines can I take since I have liver disease?
Depending on cold symptoms and the degree of fibrosis you have, Tylenol (acetaminophen) is suggested by most knowledgeable hepatologists and GI docs. What sort of liver disease do you have?

It all depends on how damaged your liver is.
What is your liver's degree of fibrosis? F?
Metavir Grading for Liver Biopsy Results
The Metavir grading system uses two standardized numbers: one to indicate degree of inflammation (tissue swelling and irritation) and the other the degree of fibrosis (tissue scarring due to prolonged inflammation).
A 4-point scale is used in grading the degree of liver inflammation or histological activity:
* A0= no inflammation
* A1= mild inflammation
* A2= moderate inflammation
* A3= severe inflammation
A 5-point scale is used in grading the degree of liver fibrosis:
* F0= no fibrosis
* F1= minimal fibrosis
* F2= fibrosis has occurred and spread inside the areas of the liver including blood vessels
* F3= fibrosis is spreading and connecting to other liver areas that contain fibrosis
* F4= cirrhosis or advance liver fibrosis
