Liver enzymes, got a ?

[fugetaboutit]

I got my wisdom teeth removed last week and have been on pain medication since ( actually took my last one today.) Getting blood work done tomorrow and just curious if hydrocodone, among other things, raises your liver enzymes. Also, what can be done to reduce them (for future reference) rapidly , almost as if masking them for a blood test( if at all possible)? And please, this is not a thread about pain killers, I want to know if they raise liver enzymes.

If it's a PK that contains tylenol(acetaminophen), yes it can raise liver enzymes. Unless you were taking a massive dose, or drinking, or taking 17aa's at the same time though, I wouldn't worry. Hydrocodone itself doesn't raise liver enzymes though.

Yes, they will raise your liver values some but not substantially. In the future drink plenty of cranberry juice, take tylers liver detox, and milk thistle.

Do not get a biopsy if you values are 10 above normal , like one person who will remain namesless
To lower liver values
1. milk thistle
2. glutathione
3. r+ala
4. NAC wouldn't hurt either
