A: Because this is a story of a car accident it is one that is well served. This is something that has personally touched my life (aside from the pregnant teenager) and people need to hear how it looks and feels. I think you did an excellent job of describing from the 1st person how it would be to be in an accident and “wake up” and realize what has just happened. 8.7/10Peace, Love & Happiness

What’s the cause of my liver damage?

Q: I’d really apprecaite some feedback on this. I’m a 30 year old male, 5’10, slim, in reasonably good health. I do suffer from depression and anxiety and have taken medication for both conditions.Recently, I have had some blood tests. My GGT came back 95 and my ALP came back 129. My bilirubin is normal and there is no swelling in my liver. No jaundice either. Yesterday, I had an ultrascan in light of these high values. The report is cellular liver damage due to either ethanol, drug induced, or inflammation. I also have high cholesterol (6.3), and certainly do not exercise enough. I do not take drugs, seldom drink, and have a conservative sexual history. I have, however, taken various anti-depressants (Prozac and Citalopram). I have also taken diazepam through the years, here and there.Symptomatically, I experience tiredness perhaps once or twice every week. I experience headaches and mild dizziness, too. It is often to assess whether these symptoms are due to depression/anxiety.My question is: (1). what could I be dealing with? (2). Whose opinion would you value more – a radiologist or a GP? I ask this because, when the radiologist saw my scan, within 2 seconds he said drug induced liver damage. Whereas the GP somewhat disputed this.I should add – I have stopped all medication I was on (SSRI’s) and do not drink now.

A: I would suggest that you get a biopsy done of your liver to find out exactly what is damaged and how extensive the damage is at this time. I think it would be difficult for any doctor to accurately diagnose what caused liver damage without a biopsy unless you were an alcoholic or had hep C where the reason is quite obvious. You need to go to a gastroenterologist or a hepatologist for a consult since they are so much more informed than the typical GP. A hepatologist is the top gun of liver problems, but the gastro would be able to help you too when it comes to this. You listed inflammation as being a possible culprit to the damage. Well, that in itself can be from at least a few dozen different things. They told me I had active inflammation going on and it turned out to be my body’s immune system was attacking the biliary ducts inside my liver which led to cirrhosis which led to a liver transplant. But they weren’t able to say what caused my disease until after they removed my old liver and sent it to the lab to really know what was going on. Once a liver has advanced damage, it’s really difficult to determine what caused it to fail due to all the damage. If it’s only half damaged, then they can see what might be happening to the cells since they will still have healthy cells and those cells that are doing the damage all in active action, so it makes it more clear. The most important thing to do is to stop any further progression of the liver damage which means whatever is irritating it must be removed. The liver is an amazing organ that has the ability to heal itself if damage is not too bad. Get the right doctor to help you.
