Patient's question:
What should I do if taking hyperthyroidism medication causes liver damage?Doctor's answer:
The causes of poor liver health are varied, and the most important aspect is treating the underlying cause.1. For alcoholic liver disease, it is essential to abstain from alcohol and control alcohol intake.
2. In cases of drug-induced liver injury, stop using medications that damage the liver while undergoing liver-protective treatment to restore liver function.
3. For liver damage caused by viral infections, liver-protective treatment should be combined with antiviral therapy.
4. For autoimmune diseases, liver-protective medications should be used alongside long-term oral glycyrrhizin preparations.
5. For liver damage of unknown origin, minimize medication use and recommend the patient undergo a liver biopsy to identify the cause of liver injury for symptomatic treatment.
