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

OOPS Fibroscan NOT obro sorry NotFab I wonder the difference. my lft's were slightly elevated and the last DR. the nothing wouldn't do my fibroscan and his two reports were so conflicting. Even some of my other Dr's were as confused as I
