Taking HCG Injections For Weight Loss. Liver Count Is High, Brown Urine And Fever. Is It Due To HCG?

I was about two weeks and a half weeks into taking the HCG injections for weight loss when I became very sick. I have been sick for aver three weeks now. I went to my doctor a couple of days ago and my liver count is very high. I have had brown urine, fever etc. I have to go in tomorrow for more blood work and a ultra sound. Is there any chance that the HCG caused this?

HI,
Welcome to HCM,
HCG injections for the indication of weight loss is not FDA ( Food and Drug Aithority) approved. You must immediately stop it. Your side effects could be due to HCG injections. As rapid weight loss along with restricted diet disturbs your electrolytes, give overload on Gall bladder and Kidneys.
You must also report these side effects to your Doctor who has advise you to take injections, and to www.fda.gov/MedWatch/report.htm
Even if you have above symptoms due to some other illness, Inj HCG is contraindicated.
I hope I have answered your question. If you need any further assistance, do not hesitate.
