CT Scan of liver
« on: August 03, 2007, 03:49:36 pm »
My doctor just ordered a CT scan of my abdomen because my liver enzymes have been elevated for the past year. I don't know the numbers but he mentioned that they are 2-2.5X the upper limit and have been consistently that high.  I began taking Truvada right at a year ago, but my doc said that Truvada is not associated with liver problems. I am taking Kaletra and have been since I started meds in 2002.

I go in for my CT scan today.  Just curious what people have found out after the scan and whether they had to change meds, stop drinking, etc.

Hi, Brian here. Unfortunately, alcohol and meds don't mix to well. Sends liver and kidneys into overdrive, Also, has he done blood work for Hepatitis? Can be the culprit.  Just a suggestion
