A member asked:

What kind of liver problem has easy bruising as a symptom and possible weight gain, my ana is 1:640 and negative for hep and thyroid? i don't drink.

Whoa: Rather than decide this is a "liver problem", we need your platelet count and your pro time, one of which will be abnormal before live disease causes easy bruising. Only really bad liver problems will do this, and both tests have appropriate means of follow-up that will lead to a diagnosis.
