Cholesterol vs Fatty Liver

[Rkolar]

Has anyone heard that cholesterol meds (statins) raises liver enzymes??

Do not go near stains! they are Liver toxic! That is what my GP told me! If a Dr says about putting you on them please quries them!

Yes it does, I was on Lipitor and Crestor for 10+ years, when Liver enzymes came back high doctor would take me off until they returned normal. I now have NASH and Cirrohos. I truly believe the statins contributed to causing this, it's a catch 22, High cholesterol can cause Heart Attacks and Strokes, if I had known all of this I would have not taken them. Cirrohos and everything that comes with it is a horrible way to die. But like with Cancer and Chemo it is a personal choice only you can make. Wishing you the Best.

Yes, I took them for many years and when enzymes we're high my Doctor would take me off of them until blood was normal, I truly believe the Lipitor and Crestor caused or worsened my Liver. I no longer take them but run the risk associated with high chlostrol and triglycerides.
