How Long Does Recovery From Mild Liver Disease Take?
Question: How long does it take for mild liver disease to clear up ? I got diagnose with it in august from overdosing & drinking plus doing drugs, how long will it take to clear up ? I got told if i continued that path i will end up on my death bed by the time im eighteen if not sooner, ive been very curious
Brief Answer:
6 months to a year
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
If you refrain and abstain from drugs, alcohol and never do them in future the liver enzymes that were mildly raised on the blood tests would come back to normalcy within 6 months to an year from the time you stop all these.
You can redo the test again. You should not take TYLENOL (acetaminophen) as well during this time as it can also raise liver enzymes if taken over 2000mg/day.
So expect a normal liver function test on your blood within next a month to 6 months from now.
