Hi,
Long term damage to the liver can sometimes occur with the use of opiates in some persons. It is possible that the Norco contributed to the issues. Other common causes are:
(1) Non alcoholic liver disease- diet and inactivity cause the build up of fat in the liver which causes inflammation and damage
(2) Alcohol use
(3) Trauma
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
