Abnormal Liver Test Results After Back Surgery. Could It Be Due To Anesthetics?
Iv recently had major back surgery and was taking paracetamol for a long period thought it was better than codeine based tablets due to co sit patios etc ...just had liver function test and my results come back not good.. My gap said may have been anaesthetic still in my system had only been 3 weeks when I had tests done but could this also be due to paracetamol ?

Hi and welcome to HCM. Thank you for your query.
This is more likely due to paracetamol then to anashesia. You should stop taking it and repeat LFT in a month. If this is still raisd you should do liver ultrasounds and check viral markers because there can be some liver disorder. Till that,avoid alcohol and follow some hepatoprotective diet.
Wish you good health.
