Have Autoimmune Liver Disease, Lost Appetite, Legs Hurt. Why Is It ?
Hello,
I have Autoimmune Liver disease. I did unfortunately get cirrhosis while trying to figure out why my LFT's were elevated and I was yellow. I'm only 56 and this is not heriatary. This past week I've lost my appetite and my legs are hurting so bad. Aching is a 10. I've been treating it with ibuprofen. Would you know why my legs are aching so bad?

Hi and welcome to Healthcare magic.Thank you for the query.
Liver insufficiency cause various symptoms and loss of apetite is one of them. Your legs issue can be related to it or it can be disorder for itself. If there is legs swelling then it can be liver,kidney or heart disease. If there is redness and pain with fever then some inflammatory processes should be considered. All in all you need further tests to establish right diagnosis.
Wish you good health. Regards
