Likely nothing: If you have cirrhosis (end stage) there is likely little you can do. If you have dysfunction from an acute insult then it may recover with removal of that insult (ie alcohol , virus). See your GI for more advice.

Accepted Answer

Need more info: Impossible to answer accurately your question with the information provided.  Data needed--are you reporting high lft's (cholestatic or hepatocellular) or a lesion? 1) how big is the lesion? 2) how long has it been there?  3) is it enlarging, ;at what rate?  4) cystic or solid?  5) is it causing symptoms?  6) do you have underlying liver disease?  7) has a tissue diagnosis (biopsy) been pursued?

Question 6

Generally Not: The cold viruses do not generally involve the liver.  Other viruses (such as mono) can cause a mild hepatitis (inflammation).

Question 7

what is a dangerously high liver function level?

Accepted Answer

Need more info.: Doctors treat patients, not tests. A single lab value requires additional information in order to properly interpret it. All labs come with a range of "normal" values. This is the range of values expected for healthy individuals. Unhealthy people can have normal values and vise versa. Best to consult with the physicial who ordered the test to answer your question.

Accepted Answer

Stable function: This statement is a very relative term used when the tests are compared to prior or compared to clinical context.

Question 9

borderline liver function is bad or still normal?

Accepted Answer

Not that bad but not: Borderline elevation of liver enzymes can occur from several possibilities. If it is only slightly elevated, one should not be too nervous about it but should not ignore either.Best approach should be to repeat. If it is still elevated, one should consult a specialist.

Question 10

what is the function of andrews liver salt in the body?

Accepted Answer

Pricey placebo: The stuff is a mix of magnesium sulphate (which will give you loose bowels), sodium bicarbonate (which may make you belch) and citric acid (for taste, i suppose). It won't touch your liver. It is a scam. Don't waste your money. If you are sick, get with a scientific practitioner who's required by law not to tell you outrageous untruths.
