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