Liver Test Count Is High. Taking Tylenol. Side Effect?
I have been taking Tylenol 3 for several months( 1 to two tablets daily) and recently went for a medical. The test reflected a high count of 80 instead of normal 70 for my liver. I am scheduled tomorrow for an ultrasound. Could the Tylenol be the culprit. I do however consume alcohol, probably 3 bottles of wine per week. I am quite physically active with 4 workouts per week..

Hello,
Thank you for the query.
Long term use of tylenol causes mild reversible liver injury.And as there is also association of alcohol consumption it appeared little earlier.You can stop using tylenol so that can reverse its actions on the liver.If there are no associated symptoms then it is fine and if you have any other symptoms then you need to be treated.Thank you.
