What Is The Prognosis In A Person With Extremely Elevated Liver Enzymes?
Hi. My friend's daughter was just released from ICU. My friend said that the doctor said her liver function was @ 30% only. She is only 30 and according to my friend she did not have a chance to live and no chance of liver transplant. Her liver enzymes were extremely elevated, although I don"t know the exact figures. The patient is extremely thin and she is out of ICU but according to my friend the doctor has warned them of irreversible neuronal damage and other problems. What are some of the scenarios in which a young otherwise healthy female would suddenly end up in ICU with these symptoms and the possibility of death?
