Help! Anyone know about alcohol and liver disease??!!

[escape]

Dear lovely mumsnetters..
its a long, long story, but I am hoping that someone might have some advice for me.
My mother is an (in denial) alcoholic who has come really sick in the past few weeks.
We live abroad and she lives here too, but not with us. She has gone back to the UK to see family etc and has been to see her old Doctor who has taken a load of blood tests.
She now has to have a full body scan as her blood protein levels are too high.
I've googled this and causes can be infection, chronic inflamation or a bone marrow problem.
Does anyone think the inflamation part of this could be a liver disorder ??
She is far gone, that I can't believe her health problems are not alcohol related
THanks a lot in advance.

please?

have you looked at the Liver Trust website

can't help as I only know what the average person knows about the liver

sorry to hear she is so ill

whatever is the matter her alcohol problems will not have helped

liver trust

thanks for responding Zippi. will have a look now. you are very kind

perhaps she will try and stop drinking, it is very sad this illness

Very little cahnce of that - she's completely deluded about that. I have assumed that all her symptoms (lots of fairly minor thaings - but all added up) were down to her general deterioration with regards to alcohol abuse - Googling further, she has all symptoms conected to Myeloma - a blood cancer
sometimes the internet isn't such awonderful thing eh? Will have to wait for her MRI appointment, I guess.

i agree that the internet sometimes has answers to questions we shouldn't have asked and sometimes they aren't the right answers

hopefully she is getting a diagnosis and will take advice and have the care she needs

that is as much as you can hope..if she is set on not listening

xx

Thanks for your concern - again, appreciated
