I thought this was the closest related forum to post this question,
I quit painkillers on 9/2013. I abused them the last year I was on at about 10x10/325s daily. I did 1300mg 2x daily usually but only about 4 hours apart.
In late June 2013, my ALT was 58, then i went on a daily binge until I quit on 9/20/13. 5 weeks later I thought I was going for peace of mind testing and my ALT was 108. I had an ultrasound done at 7 weeks clean and it was "suggestive of fatty liver; no hepatic tumor."
I thought APAP enzymes return to normal very quickly and I thought NASH or non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (I don't drink) was not triggered by APAP?
So is my only likely outcome that my readings are indicative of cirrhosis? I am very very concerned. I wouldn't have thought I would have given myself cirrhosis.
I'm in my 30s, quit smoking 7 weeks ago, am slightly overweight from the binge but have been this weight when my enzymes were normal. I also have cleaned up my diet tremendously in the past 7 weeks. I think the only real culprit are the pain killers. How likely did I give myself cirrhosis? Most people are thinking I am way overreacting, but I need a better opinion.
