Is this a symptom of APS? Any ideas? My meds should not be doing causing this as far as I am aware. Anyone have this and what was the problem?

Hi

I had two bouts of non-viral hepatitis, one in 1991 and another in 1996. When I first saw Prof Hughes he said they were probably caused by sludgy blood clogging up the lever. When I was put on Warfarin my liver enzyme levels returned to normal and they have stayed that way now I am in Fragmin, instead of Warfarin.

Mine were elevated slightly and when fibro scan done i had stage 3 cirrhosis . it has gotten better last Fibroscan , the compromised liver was much better so it wasn't dead liver at all , either clots or Fat , hope it fat . But my enzymes weren't that high and since have dropped back. The dr' i had at the times was a waste-literally next visit i want a doppler ultrasound . That should show the difference -fat - clots .

You have been given excellent advice from two different angles from my two co administrators, I agree with both of these opinions and would have said similar myself! The GP clearly does need to keep an eye on it though. MaryF
