That’s great I had results today snd mine have gone up and been on diet excercise and no alcohol since early February.

Just do not know what to do. Waiting and editing for hospital appointment. Even though I had an emergency CT scan last week and they said they could not see enlarged fatty liver that was on Ultra sound scan.

I don’t know what to do and who to believe

😕

Hello Seoe. Apparently it takes more than a year to get rid of fatty liver. If you are on diet. I have similar story but in addition, I had gallblader surgery... the ltfs went up after... do you have gallstones?

Hi I take levothyroxine for under active thyroid, which is an auto immune disease (I think) I said could it be that but don’t get any answers. Had a lovely panic attack today too just to finish my week off. 😳

I have an overactive thyroid witch is caused from my autoimmune disease (graves disease) it was Propylthiouracil i was taking ... am not to sure if having under active thyroid is an autoimmune disease my mam has under active thyroid but that was due to her having it taking out due to having a goitre she on high dose of levo her liver alwas been ok she been on it 8 years now .. have you been tested for graves disease? One of main symptoms is thyroid issue anxiety and panick attacks hair loss weight gain or weight loss and it effacts your liver function .
