I have abdominal pain because of liver swelling. Have a mild swelling on the face too. My LFT tests show a slight elevation in bilirubin and other liver enzymes. I am on TB medicines for the past 2 months.I also take Naproxen for relief from headaches. Obviously have lost lot of weight. The doctors say that I should just drink lots of water and eat well to make my liver feel better. Is there anything else I can do? Why is this happening to me ? How do the TB drugs and NSAID s affect the liver ?
Hello;welcome to Chat Doctor The medicines used in tuberculosis are hematologic and cause disturbances in LFT and swelling on liver, so please consult your doctor and show him the LFT, and he will advise you some medicines to control and treat the increased liver enzymes and if required he may stop the tuberculosis medicines for few days. Please consult him. Thanks
