Do steroids epidural injection harm the liver?

Not really: Epidural steroid injection should not be harmful to your liver. You should not receive more than three injection per year because long term exposure to steroid can increase your risk of osteoporosis.

Thanks for asking!: Epidural steroid injections are localized to the epidural space and generally do not affect significantly other organs and specifically the liver.

No: Generally epidural injections are local to the spine and rarely cause organ issues. If you are worried voice your concerns to the doctor that will be doing the injection.
