[Candycru]

hi I was diagnosed with nafld in November and told to lose weight I was about 2 stone overweight I have now hit healthy weight but my liver is showing still problems in the bloods so I have now been referred for autoimmune screening and mri scan also my urine is very dark have anyone gone through this and it have not been autoimmune problem. Many thanks x

Urine being dark can be any number of things and is most often dehydration related. You need to be drinking plenty of clear fluids (e.g. fluids made predominately wirh water, tea, coffee etc is OK). Keep a water bottle near you and just keep drinking.

If your urine is still dark mention it when you go for appts. The important thing now that you have reduced your weight which is amazing is to reduce other stresses on your liver - avoiding alcohol is the big one.
