Hello, thanks for contacting HCM. If you were drinking at the
time you were told about enlarged liver , it is quite possible
that may indicate Fatty Liver caused by alcohol. I am not sure
how your liver tests were then or how they are now. If they are
abnormal , you really have to take care of the problem.
You mention about the white cell count being abnormal. Again ,
I am not sure if it was high or very low.
You need to stop drinking completely, eat a high protein diet or
take protein supplements along with B-Complex, Vit-C and Vit-E.
Tiredness and confusion some times indicates advanced liver disease.
You really need a full work up.
Good luck.
