Question 1

what issues are there for taking milk thistle and coumadin (warfarin) 5mg? for elevated liver enzymes or is being normal with coumadin (warfarin)?

Accepted Answer

Milk thistle: Milk thistle has a potentially moderate interaction with coumadin (warfarin)  which could increase the effect of this anti-coagulant. I would advise caution and speaking with your doctor and pharmacist before using them together.

Question 2

can we take cherries if taking coumadin, (warfarin) hving gall bladder stone, hepc, liver cirohsis, mvr done 2006?

Accepted Answer

Ok to have cherries: The average amount of vitamin k in 3 oz of cherries, is less than 2 micrograms of vitamin k.  In contrast, green leafy vegetables, such as spinach have 444 micrograms in less than 2 oz.  So you should be able to have cherries without much impact on the Coumadin (warfarin) dose and inr levels.

Question 3

hv hep c, liver cirohsis, gall bladder stone, taking coumadin (warfarin) , bleeding through stools..red colour...what could b the reason. ?

Accepted Answer

Gi bleed: If you have chronic hcv infection, liver cirrhosis, and coumadin, (warfarin) you are at risk for GI bleed.   Patients with liver cirrhosis likely have portal hypertension and low effective circulating platelets, which increased risks of bleeding.   Coumadin (warfarin) will increase this risk.  If you are bleeding suggest stop coumadin, (warfarin) go to the hospital for further evaluation and care.

Question 4

on warfarin; like to do some liver detox. does it negatively interact with warfarin? if no issues, which products are suitable. thank you

Accepted Answer

&quot;Liver detox&quot;: Other than avoiding obvious liver toxins, such as alcohol and higher than normal doses of acetaminophen (Tylenol) and losing weight if you need to, the liver has no need for &quot;detoxification.&quot; There are no products which have been shown in well-done studies to benefit liver function in this way. Don&#x27;t waste your money on products that claim otherwise. Good luck.

Question 5

what effect does cod liver oil have on warfarin?

Accepted Answer

Interaction: There have been reported rises in inr in fish oil ingesting patients, if you take cod liver oil, your inr must be monitored closely to see what the effect is in the individual; wouldn't recommend it.

Question 6

can we take 1 clove of garlic everyday if taking acitrom ( coumadin) .having hepc n liver cirohsis, mvr done 2006?

Accepted Answer

This could be a : Problem. Clove contains eugenol which can slow blood clotting. Clove should be stopped at least 2 weeks before surgeries to reduce bleeding risk. It may be contraindicated with some bleeding disorders. There is potential for bleeding / bruising if mixed with an anticoagulant or anti-platelet medication.  Please don't begin this garlic regimen without first discussing with your physician.

Question 7

does taking warfarin for a dvt cause kidney or liver damage?

Accepted Answer

No, not really.: Warfarin interferes with your body's ability to clot blood, so it is useful in people who have blood clots or in those who my be susceptible to abnormal clotting.  In very very rare cases, warfarin may have been associated with a type of kidney damage, but this association is not well understood and even controversial as to its very existence.  Routine monitoring of kidney function is adequate.

Question 8

if a person has budd chiari syndrome and now they need to stop warfarin  is it typical that the veins in the liver would get clotted again?

Accepted Answer

Discuss with your Dr: It is never advised to warfarin without a thorough discussion with your doctor about the risks & benefits.  In budd chiari there is a risk of new clots in the veins of the liver.

Question 9

You have "hepatitis": Hepatitis is defined as inflammation of liver cells, as is indicated by elevation in serum transaminases (like GGT). Hepatitis can be caused by a variety of issues (infectious, ischemic, metabolic, toxic, infiltrative, alcohol-related, drugs, etc.).  It is impossible to say why your liver tests are elevated without more information--but you DEFINITELY will need to stop the 15+drinks/week NOW pls!
