Hi my mother was prescribed statins for her high cholesterol and she has had high liver enzymes with pain in her abdomen, achy joints, itching and now loose green stools, the Dr has taken her off the statins now but she is worried as she has to go for a abdomen scan do u think that all these problems are related to the statins or could she have cancer or something terrible? Also she had her gallbladder removed 16 years ago because of gallstones, Im so worried about her, please help.
The symptoms are pointing towards liver problem. Probably jaundice. Maybe due to Hepatitis. It is unlikely to be due to cancer. However, you should let us know the report of liver function tests and Ultrasound abdomen should also be done. Also get test for Hepatitis A, B and C. Take care and will look forward to hearing from you.
