What are the symptoms of liver damage / disease? Can anyone tell me what the symptoms of liver damage or liver disease are? The reason I ask is becuz I used to take a lot of Tylenol for gall bladder attacks that I used to get (I suffered gall bladder attacks for years before getting a correct diagnosis from doctors). It got to the point that by the time I had to finally get my gallbladder removed, I would be taking Tylenol or any other pain killers just about daily and up to the maximum dosage allowed. A few family members that hadn't seen me in a while, told me I looked yellowish. I have never asked for a blood test specifically to test for liver damage, but I recently had routine lab tests done (had 3 tubes of blood drawn) due to the fact that I am pregnant. From what I was told, all blood work came back just fine. Do you think if I would have liver damage, the doctor's would have detected that in my blood they drew a few days ago at my last prenatal appointment? Like I said, I didn't ask or even mention to the doctor's about my liver damage concerns at that prenatal appointment. In response to BlueSea, I don't drink!!

How much alcohol abuse does it take for the onset of liver disease or symptoms of? My little brother who is roughly 22 is in college now and called me to get my advice cause he'd been experiencing light abdominal pain. Now I know he drinks a lot cause he's honest with me and that's a good thing. From what he tells me he drinks enough to get him drunk 4-5 nights out of the week. He's not a big guy (5'-7" and about 180) but enough to get him drunk would be about six or seven beers and maybe a shot or two. The thing is he's been doing this for about 3 months now (beginning of school year to now.) He says he hasn't noticed any yellowing of the skin,eyes or any other pain, just a slight discomfort in his abdomen and lower chest. I guess what I'm asking is is liver disease something that develops over a longer period of time or could it develop in a couple months? I've already told him that the main thing is to prevent the development of poor habits which will cause him to behave this way beyond his college years, but I just wanna gauge his risk factor at present. Also he's in a frat and I've seen this group - it's about 30 guys who all do the same thing... So it's hard for me to say stop when his friends are also drinking that much.... What's funny is that he almost NEVER drinks when he's home, it's not an addiction just a HORRIBLE social habit - that's what bothers me

Has anyone had a successfull experience with nursing a cat with fatty liver disease back to health ? I found out 4 weeks ago that my cat (5 yrs old) had fatty liver disease. She had stopped eating for some reason and quickly went down hill. I took her to the vet and exhausted all possible funds quickly.I have been force feeding every 3-31/2 hours 24/7 for the past 4 weeks. (stomach tube was an option but too expensive) I am also giving SubQ fluids every other day. Some days I think she is picking up a bit by trying to eat on her own. Then the next day she is not holding her food down. Seems like 1 step forward and 2 back. Has anyone else had this experience and was it successful? Should I keep trying? HELP!
