How much beer would you have to consume on a daily basis to meet with Liver Failure?

---

Im a bit of a drinker, I stopped smoking and picked up drinking.. Go figure. So how much beer do you have to consume, to meet with liver failure
Alcohol does not necessarily destroy one's liver, but if you are worried enough about the effects of your drinking to ask this question then I would advise you to talk to a doctor or counselor for specific guidance.

IANAD, but If one drinks moderately and maintains good nutrition otherwise, the likelihood of cirhottic liver damage is minimal.

If you plan on being a full-on drunk, I would expect that a car wreck, bar fight, or domestic violence will seal the deal long before your liver gives up.  (+ info)

What are the chances of liver failure or liver disease?

---

Ive had 2000 mg of tylenol today starting at 5am and every 4 hours till my last dose at 5pm. What are the chances of me developing liver failure or liver disease if I were to drink a 12 pack now? (9pm) Dont try and scare me, just be honest.
Minimal to absent chance for failure. You may already have steato hepatitis (fatty liver) if you drink 12 every day.  (+ info)

Can a live-donor liver transplant happen in someone with acute liver failure?

---

I'm just curious.

If someone were to develop acute liver failure from something like an acetaminophen overdose or hepatitis and were in need of a transplant ASAP, would the doctors consider a live-donor transplant from someone in the family, like a parent or sibling? I know these usually take time and consideration, but if someone's life was in imminent danger, would the doctors perform a live-donor transplant?

Thanks for your thoughts!

Does anybody know anything about hereditary liver failure in domestic cats?

---

7 mos. ago my 4 yr. old cat passed away due to liver failure. Today her sister died. It was like deja vu. I can't imagine it being a toxin. They were indoor cats and I can't fathom them having gotten into anything. The vet doesn't have any answers either. I need any info you may have or any similar situations. I need to try to find the answer.
Most toxins are in the house. Carpet fumes, furniture fumes, household cleaners, wood varnish, to name a few. Indoor cats are exposed to most of these environmental toxins on a daily basis. As you probably already know, the liver functions to clear toxins from the body, so it is this organ which gets concentrated with the toxins first.

Another thing to consider is their food. Typically cats are fed the same brand or same types of food for their entire life. Please note that cats are obligate carnivores and are not really supposed to be eating grains (never ever feed your cats grains!). In the wild, the only thing they eat is meat, and have eaten only meat for thousands of years. Their GI physiology revolves around their adaptation to a carnivore's diet. Also we must consider any preservatives that may be in their food. Sadly labeling regulations for pet food are not as stringent as those for people food, so pet owners are left in the dark about any potential hazards in their pet's food. Its up to the pet owner to contact the manufacture of the pet food to find out specific details about how it is processed and any added ingredients which are not on the label.

I'm sad to hear your loss. Let me reassure you however that all cats go to heaven :o)  (+ info)

how long would it take for a liver failure after acetaminophen OD?

---

If a person consumes more acetaminophen then recommended, say 30-35 250 mg tablets, how long would it take for liver failure to occur after?
Three days... and it is an extremely painful death. There is no going back with a Tylenol OD by the way. No hospital can save you.  (+ info)

Can a person with very high triglycerides end up with liver failure?

---

If a person's triglycerides were shown as 939 on a regular blood test does that really meant they are 939? If a person has this level of triglycerides and refuses to stop drinking completely and have a 5th of wine or cocktails every weekend and possibly one day out of the week too can they end up with liver failure out of nowhere?
Anything under 940 is consider completely safe, most of the time. If you ever test at 940 or higher I would seek immediate medical help.  (+ info)

Can Pneumonia cause Kidney and liver failure? Has anyone ever heard of this?

---

My cousin is in critical condition, expected to die. Double pneumonia, causing kidney failure and low liver functions. Does not sound like just pneumonia to me. Concerned!
It probably all started from the pneumonia. What's most likely happening is he got blood poisoning or sepsis from the lung infection and that is causing the other organs to shut down. I would imagine he's on a ventilator also. I'll say it looks bad but I've seen worse survive.
God bless and care for your cousin.  (+ info)

What is fourth stage of liver failure?

---

We went to the liver transplant doctor in Denver and were told that my sister is in the fourth stage of liver failure. What does that mean?
The fourth stage of cancer simply means that the cancer has spread to the pancreas and linf note and the doctors will probably try gemcitabine and oxaliplatin on him. Here is a site that offers a free subscription to Cancer-Free newsletter. It offers support on handling cancer gently. http://www.beating-cancer-gently.com/cancer-treatment.html  (+ info)

Does the body odor from my husband means the liver failure?

---

My husband has a very strong fishy or rotten egg odor which comes from him.I smelt the odor a year ago. Then it becomes stronger and stronger.I've been told him many times there must be something wrong with his health and he needs to go to the doctor. But he doesn't believe.He also has no symptoms and looks fine. I am worried about him so much. Does the odor means liver failure?
It seems that he cannot smell any foul odors emanating from his body. But the smell is very real and it's pungent.
take him to a doctor, oddor can be as a resoult of a problem in metabolism, liver, kidneys, whatever.. can be nothing but better to be sure  (+ info)
