Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I've been feeling uncomfortable with my heart. Although I often take medication to control it, the effect is not obvious. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they also prescribed medication. I'm asking if hypertrophic cardiomyopathy can affect liver function?Doctor's answer:
Hello, I am glad to explain your question. Regarding hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, it generally has some impact on heart function but does not significantly affect liver function. If liver function problems reappear, and if there is jaundice again, the first consideration should be hyperbilirubinemia. It is recommended to first have an abdominal ultrasound to check for any biliary system diseases. Additionally, liver function tests should be conducted to assess bilirubin levels, and a urinalysis should be performed to check the bilirubin content in the urine.
