During a routine check, a woman’s poor liver values are noticed. Your cancer medication could be the cause. Or is it because of her new tea?
This text first appeared in March 2023.
The woman actually only came to the Grenoble University Hospital for a check-up. But what the doctors found in her blood was worrying: catastrophic liver values. In particular, the massive increase in the level of a certain enzyme indicated that some of the liver cells were beginning to dissolve.
The fact that the patient apparently didn’t notice anything was not unusual: Liver damage is often only discovered late because the liver tissue is not permeated by pain-conducting nerves.
