A member asked:
Is liver disease a death sentence? i have high crp doc says related to obesity but he always runs esr/alt/ast and i don't know why?

Absolutely not: In fact, the pathology community is talking about doing away with the word "cirrhosis" altogether because we now know it's often reversible. Alt/ast are markers in obese people for obesity-related liver disease (rule out other causes) but this is extremely common & only occasionaly lethal. However, obesity is serious and much more likely to detract from your quality and length of life.

Obesity : And inflammation go together. The CRP is an indicator of inflammation and may be the cause of your liver disease.
