During a routine check, a woman’s miserable liver values are noticed. Your cancer medication could be the cause. Or her new favorite drink?
The woman actually only came to the University Hospital in Grenoble for a check-up. But what the doctors found in her blood was worrying: catastrophic liver values. Above all, the massively increased level of a certain enzyme indicated that some of the liver cells were beginning to dissolve.
It was not unusual that the patient had apparently not noticed anything: Liver damage is often discovered late because the liver tissue is not criss-crossed by pain-conducting nerves.
