Did i fuck up my liver?

It is extremely unlikely that the cream had anything to do with this. That does not mean that there isn't a problem however. Hope it turns out to be nothing serious.

Did they test for Hepatitus A/B/C?

Did i fuck up my liver?

sunnyday:
Not sure if this kind of post is allowed but I don't really have anywhere else to turn. I started gaining (mostly via heavy cream) around christmas and developed a chronic cough and shortness of breath (not related to covid). My doctor had me do bloodwork and my liver result is elevated extremely high. I don't drink or do drugs. He wants me to get an ultrasound because as he said, even when it's fat in the liver it doesn't typically get this high. The bills are adding up as I make appointments to see specialists and I'm scared I might have done damage.

Anyone have experience with this?


It is unlikely to be related to gaining and your use of cream.

Fatchance's advice to get tested for hepatitis is good advice. There are also some drugs/medicines that are hard on the liver (acetaminophen comes to mind), if you've ever had to use those for an extended period of time.

Aside from the previously responses about hep etc, I would say, have you tested for covid antigens.

I had an irregular result for liver function after I had covid eaely last year. It faded over 3 months but it was odd that birubin was fine but other enzymes were off and on the 2nd test antigens implied a liver infection.

There is a chance that hepatic functions are affected by covid, but not widely recorded due investigative convention post march 2020.
