please help want to feel better about possible liver disease?
Category: Liver Disease
My boyfriend just got his blood results back and they said his liver count is low and his liver is inflamed. He has shown no symptoms but IBS, flatulence and bloating. No yellow eyes or skin so at least that’s good. I’m just worried it may very well be Hepatitis A, B or C. Can someone give me some legit information about all types of liver disease? Oh yeah and we are sexually active.

There are many things that can cause liver cell damage
and lead to inflammation inside the liver:
alcohol consumption
medications toxification
chemical exposure (like carbon tetrachloride)
mushroom poisoning
fatty liver disease
auto immune disease
hereditary conditions(too much iron or copper in the body)
metabolic disorders
cardiac/vascular problems
cyst/cancer/tumors/growths
metabolic disorders
viral infections (like hep A,B,C,etc)
parasite infections
biliary obstruction/malformation/infection
and others
The cause has to be found and stopped so the liver
cells can heal. However, at times, this cannot be done.
The inflammation can keep increasing in the liver
until the liver cells start to die off and form scar
tissue inside the liver…this is then known as
Cirrhosis of the liver (irreversible and progressive)
If you boyfriend is diagnosed with a Hepatitis virus, it is
best to get tested yourself. Certain kinds of this virus
can be passed to you if you did not use protection or
if the mucosal barrier has been broken.
Keep in mind that an enlarge liver can occur if someone
has mononucleuosis (kissing disease).
I hope this information has been of some help to you.
Best wishes
