What Are The Symptoms Of Liver Disease?
I'm a care giver for a mildly retarded man (due to meningitist at 3 now 53) who is an alcoholic. His recent liver test result is 173. His primary wants him seen for an evaluation but he's refusing. What signs should I be aware of to determine the severity of his condition and when I must intervene and demand he be seen somewhere.

Hi
Thank you for contacting healthcare magic.
He needs to be evaluated now because of high liver enzyme. Since you haven't mentioned which liver enzyme is raised, I can tell u symptoms in general like
*vomiting,
*jaundice,
*itching alongwith clay colored stool & dark colored urine (in case of obstructive jaundice),
*fever
*pain
Hope my answer helps you.
