liver damage at 16 years of age?

Question

due to alcohol....

Answer 1

The amount of damage would depend on the period of use, other contributing factors such as diet, hepatitis, and even some viral diseases as mononucleosis that cause hepatomegaly and thereby weaken the organ. The only real way to determine damage is by a physical examination, blood work and possibly even a liver biopsy. It would further depend on the amount consumed per day. A likely side effect would be the possiblity of repeated bouts of acute pancreatitis with severe pain.

Answer 2

The symptoms of liver damage is your skin is yellow and your eyes are yellow as well. How long have you had this problem? U need to see a GI , which is a specialist who specializes in the digestive system, and he/she will give you the correct treatment and possibly an ultrasound of your liver. Why are u drinking at 16? And also, u need to stop drinking alcohol and get treatment for this. Once you damage your liver, it is hard to function in the long run. See the GI ASAP.
