can it be heart related?can liver disease cause this?

Accepted Answer

Need a work up: you need to see a doctor to get an appropriate history and do testing to make the diagnosis for the low saturation

Question 2

how does chronic liver disease affect the heart?

Accepted Answer

Pressure: The liver performs many vital functions including filtering toxins and produicing things like natural anti coagulants. Impairment of these affects the heart along with other organs. When the liver is affected by things like cirrhosis, it can cause abnormal filling pressures within the heart. This, if untreated, can lead to failure of the right side of the heart.

Question 3

does zoloft have bad side affects long term? like kidney ,heart, liver disease?

Accepted Answer

Few side effects: Zoloft (sertraline) is an antidpressant SSRI that rarely can lead to inflammation of the liver or other allergic reactions. Main side effect occurs with sudden withdrawal (reduce dosage gradually) or the so-called "serotonin syndrome" if taken with other drugs that increase the likelihood of this side effect.

Question 4

can heart disease/liver disease occur on some1who eats fair lot of junk/sugar foods but it's around 9 pounds underweight? i
eat lots of veg n fruit 2

Accepted Answer

Yes: Heart and liver disease can occur in someone who eats lots of junk foods, but it is more complicated than just what you eat. It depends upon other risk factors such as cholesterol, smoking, diabetes, hypertension and family history. It is always better to avoid the junk and high sugar foods. If you do this when you are young it will be much better for you when you get older.

Question 5

my mum has end stage liver disease and isn't a candidate for transplant due to diabetes heart failure and copd how long has she got to live?

Accepted Answer

End stage Liver fail: Unfortunately there is no absolute answer. It depends upon person to person and number of comorbidities and degree of comorbidities. In some people it is less than six months. In another people it could be more prolonged.

Question 6

husband was diagnosed with end stage liver disease, congestive heart failure, common variable immunodeficiency, ulcerative colitis. how much longer?

Accepted Answer

Impossible: There are many variables that you don't state (and probably don't know). Even if all the lab values were available, an accurate time table is never possible with human beings.  I think you know from your question that each day with your husband now is precious. Try to enjoy what time he has left.

Question 7

can you tell me how heart disease affect the liver?

Accepted Answer

End stage heart: If you have end-stage congestive heart failure, you can develop cardiac cirrhosis. Other than that, there's not much effect on the liver.

Question 8

gama gt liver test 140 don't drink that much alcahol why is it so high got coronory heart disease aswell ..help ..

Accepted Answer

Suspect heredity: About 1 person in 1000 has an autosomal dominant genetic tendency to high ggt. I occasionally have to write letters to these people's friends / parole officers / drug counselors explaining that this does not mean they are secretly boozing. As a lab specialist, i'm always telling people to focus on the actual history and physical exam -- you're not your lab values. Best wishes.

Question 9

i eat a fair amount of junk daily. i am 23yo and underweight 123lbs. am i at risk of heart disease/fatty liver ect if i carry on eating like this ?

Accepted Answer

Poor nutrition : You are eating the Standard American Diet (SAD) with excess processed foods, high sugar intact and excess omega 6 fatty acids. These foods produce inflammation in our bodies resulting in heart disease,  stroke, high blood pressure,  diabetes and cancer!

Question 10

having heart disease, hepc, liver cirohsis, gallstone..taking acitrom 1mg n 2mg alternate days..can we give garlic alternate day n 1mg acitrom daily..

Accepted Answer

Garlic: What good effects do you expect from garlic. With all the problems, adding extra things into the mix, especially unproven ones may be a bad idea.
