Another thing to think about is : Does he or she take Tylonel for pain? If so, it has been proven that prolonged use can cause liver damage.

I have recently had the smae problem. For the past 4 weeks or so my back has been itching so bad that it drives me nuts.Now my face it itchy in the night when I try to sleep. I recently was in the hospital and my liver enzymes are elevated. When I got them rechecked days ago they came back with 2 reading still high.I am not a big drinker at all(2glasses of wine on the weekend) and they figure the doc will send me to a specialist..I am very concerned about this.

I see your post is 10 month old from the date I'm just now viewing it. I hope since your posting, you are feeling better and there's been a diagnosis for you. I merely wanted to comment on the itching you wrote about. I'm by no means an expert on liver functions but, I can tell you this, itching when the liver is being taxed is normal. I see that you're male and therefore you may not know this but, The itch is a common occurrence when a woman is in her final trimester of pregnancy. It's a normal symptom of the liver having to work extra hard to compensate for filtering blood for the mother AND the child. I know this isn't your problem unless you're the first man on earth to become pregnant (joking) but, it may indicate you liver is (was) being heavily taxed for some reason or another. Good luck to you!

learnedgrandmother ,
I have gone to specialists a few times over the last 6months or so, The itching is still there but not as pronounced. It usually affects me at nite. After I come in for the evening and strip down to hop in the shower. It seems that as soon as my skin is exposed to the air is when it starts. You mentioned that my liver may be heavily taxed. What do you mean by this? My liver should be in good shape. I don't drink anymore, Well , I'll have a beer or two maybe every third weekend, But I did drink quite a bit when I was younger,in my twenties, like most people I was a regular at the clubs every weekend. I'm 43 now and have other responsibilities,I guess I had to grow up? I have to go go back to my Family doctor next month, so we will see again.

The Liver is the only organ that can regenerate. To do this it needs a Herb called Milk Thistle taking religiously for 4.5 Months .
He must stop the Alcohol, Coke which includes (HFCS and Phosphoric Acid eats the liver up) using any and all drugs and eat right.
Milk Thistle Walmart sells a good one in 1000mg Caps $8.00 Plus I think. He Needs to take 2 at bed time. The first morning he will get up and his skin will look much better.
My niece called me today. Dr. tested her Liver and told her the bad news. She called me and I said, you partied hard over the years in Alcohol, Drugs and you drank a lot of Coke (She's a addict and they have to have Sweets, they get it in Coke) but now it's time to pay.
I gave her the same advice I gave you.
How did I get this info, A Dr friend of mine educated me.... He's never been wrong....!

I know this 'blog' was over a year ago - but I am really hoping you still have the same email address that you used here tabrenner.
What you just stated above is the EXACT same symptoms my husband is going through. May I ask what your diagnose was, etc...?
Thank you SO much,
Jamie Lemons

Sorry but you should pay no attention to layce the Gerson diet has no credible data to back up its fraudulant theory. Sure eat healthy check FACTS but not the gerson myth.

My daughter is only 14, she is a normal looking child, good weight, eats lots of veggies and water. eats only chicken breast (white meat) recently she's had some blood work, because she seemed tired all the time, no pep. Just found out she has elevated enzymes, We are going back to the doctor today and more test, Lord, Please let it be something minor.

I have elevated enzymes also for a few years and have had a ultra sound. I may have a fatty liver even though I am not obese or drink. I am on medications. I have had trouble with itchiness and diarrhea and bloating at times. They are checking me for Wilson's disease or Celiac disease. Celaic is where you are sensitive to foods with gluten especially barley wheat and rye.
