Have NASH and thyroid 11.3

I have NASH from an eating disorder. From the age of 10 to age 50 I didn't know I was damaging my liver. Since I was diagnosed I haven't been able to control my food 100% but I eat about 20% of what I used to. Recently my TSH was 11.3 I take synthetic. 88mcg.

I was practically in a coma with sleep and neither the VA or my husband helped. I don't understand any of the testing that is discussed here. Is my thyroid thrown off because of my liver? The VA hasn't taken images of my liver since 2014. They say my blood tests are not a worry. So what do all of you advise me to do 1st.

Your TSH is rather high - I would recommend you discuss it with your GP as your thyroid issues could be making you very sleepy and cause weight gain.

If you are in the UK, NICE (The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence) have devised guidelines with the British Society of Gastroenterology (BSG) that state people diagnosed with NAFLD should have further testing to assess for their risk of fibrosis- stiffening or scarring in the liver and this should happen every 3 years if risk factors remain.

The specific blood tests are Fib-4 score blood test or an Enhanced Liver Fibrosis (ELF) blood test. A specific scan called a FibroScan also estimates fibrosis.

You may want to discuss this with your own GP who will be able to look up the NICE guidance.
