can sinus disease cause high liver count?

The liver basically filters wastes through the body, and elevated liver enzyme would not be related to the actual sinus infection, but more likley something else, another disease process.

(m)\n\nWhen red blood cells die, the heme in their hemoglobin is converted to bilirubin in the spleen. The bilirubin is processed by the liver, enters bile and is eventually excreted through feces. Once hemoglobin is in the red cells of the blood, it circulates for the life span of those cells. The hemoglobin that is released when the cells die is turned into bilirubin. If for any reason  \nthe RBCs die at a faster rate than usual, bilirubin can accumulate in the blood and cause jaundice. \n\nOnce hemoglobin is in the red cells of the blood, it circulates for the life span of those cells. The hemoglobin that is released when the cells die is turned into bilirubin. If for any reason the RBCs die at a faster rate than usual, bilirubin can accumulate in the blood and cause jaundice.\n\nPre-hepatic (or hemolytic) jaundice is caused by anything which causes an increased rate of haemolysis (breakdown of red blood cells). In tropical countries, malaria can cause jaundice in this manner. Certain genetic diseases, such as glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency can lead to increase red cell lysis and therefore hemolyic jaundice. Defects in bilirubin metabolism also present as jaundice.\n\nLiver diseases of all kinds threaten the organ's ability to keep up with bilirubin processing. Starvation, circulating infections, certain medications, hepatitis, and cirrhosis can all cause hepatic jaundice, as can certain hereditary defects of liver chemistry, including Gilbert's syndrome and Crigler-Najjar syndrome. Hepatic causes include acute hepatitis, hepatotoxicity and alcoholic liver disease. Less common causes include primary biliary cirrhosis, Gilbert's syndrome and metastatic carcinoma. Jaundice commonly seen in the newborn baby is another example of hepatic jaundice.\n\nPost-hepatic forms of jaundice include the jaundices caused by failure of soluble bilirubin to reach the intestines after it has left the liver. These disorders are called obstructive jaundices. The most common cause of obstructive jaundice is the presence of gallstones in the ducts of the biliary system. Other causes have to do with birth defects and infections that damage the bile ducts; drugs; infections; cancers; and physical injury. Some drugs--and pregnancy on rare occasions--simply cause the bile in the ducts to stop flowing. Post-hepatic (or obstructive) jaundice, also called cholestasis, is caused by an interruption to the drainage of bile in the biliary system. The most common causes are gallstones in the common bile duct and pancreatic cancer in the head of the pancreas. Other causes include strictures of the common bile duct, ductal carcinoma, pancreatitis and pancreatic pseudocysts. A rare cause of obstructive jaundice is Mirizzi's syndrome. The presence of pale stools suggests an obstructive or post-hepatic cause as normal feces get their colour from bile pigments.

Jaundice is a medical manifestation of too much bile (Bilirubin) in the blood, and can be caused by many factors affecting the liver. Jaundice is a yellowish tone of the skin and sclera (whites of the eyes). the term Jaundice comes from the French word for yellow, and is only a clinical sign of a deeper problem like liver disease occuring from cirrohsis, hepatitis, liver cancer etc.

Reye's Syndrome, as the previous answers stated, it is effects the liver ..........

The fatigue could indicate liver issues. The heavy breathing could be part of the fatigue process, also could indicate early congestive heart failure. See your doctor.

Please refer to previous qestions on cirrhosis in this website. You will get a lot of information. Only a gastro-enterologist can answer your question after verifying her present liver condition, and medical  records.

It depends on the cause.  Many sinus infections are viral, in which case the only cure is a tincture of time.  Bacterial infections should respond to antibiotic therapy and fungal infections to antifungal therapy.  Symptomatic treatment includes pain relievers and possibly decongestants like Sudafed (provided you don't have a contraindication like high blood pressure).  Finally, some people have anatomical conditions that predispose them to recurrent problems and may require surgical correction.\n\nHere is an old (but free) article on sinusitis from the American Academy of Family Physicians:\nhttp://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=pubmed&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=9835855&itool=iconfft&query_hl=19&itool=pubmed_DocSum

omg yes , I have had sinus surgery and vowed never to have it again !!!!!!!! the only thing I can suggest is that you have the anesthesiologist  add a medicine that  is suppose to help you from throwing up after surgery , I don't know what it is called  but if you tell them they will know.... after surgery I threw up blood everywhere....and was not prepared  for it , they never gave me a bucket so I stood there throwing up blood into my hands...scary ! since then I learned about the medicine that can be added to  help you not be nauseous after wards (from a different operation) good luck !!!!!!!!!

Some of your sinusitis may be triggered by allergies, which could be why it keeps coming back. Need to discuss with your doc & see if a referral to an allergist is in order. They can do tests, find what you're allergic to and help you get this under control.

Cirrhosis of the liver, which can result in liver failure and need for a transplant is probably the most prevalent,however,alcohol can cause an enlarged heart leading to heart failure.Pancreatitis can also and is very serious.Check out AA.

Liver disease can cause high ALT, but taken together with a high alkaline phosphatase level, it is more likely a cholestatic cause, e.g., something common like gallstones can cause it too.  However, wait for the results of the tests before you jump to any conclusions.

Patients with cirrhosis may have few or no symptoms and signs of liver disease. Some of the symptoms may be nonspecific, that is, they don’t suggest that the liver is their cause. Some of the more common symptoms and signs of cirrhosis include:\n\nYellowing of the skin (jaundice) due to the accumulation of bilirubin in the blood \nFatigue \nWeakness \nLoss of appetite \nItching \nEasy bruising from decreased production of blood clotting factors by the diseased liver. \nPatients with cirrhosis also develop symptoms and signs from the complications of cirrhosis that are discussed here: http://www.medicinenet.com/cirrhosis/page2.htm

Your liver is unable to metabolize the alcohol and eliminate the toxins in your body, causing jaundice. You may already have cirhossis. See a doctor ASAP.

There are several reason as to why you can get a high level reading. Certain medications can cause this: Such as Aspirin, acetaminophen, Tylenol etc.......Alcohol use, prescription medication, over weight, Cholesterol can even cause these tests to be high as well. More serious causes can include viral hepatitis and mononucleosis, Autoimmune disorders of the liver and bile ducts, vitamin supplements and certain herbal supplements, Tumors of the liver or bile ducts.

yes...he has hepatitis c. alt and ast levels can be normal one month, abnormal the next or comepletly normal. it's the natural consequence to having hcv.\n\nmine was always normal with a few abnormal in between. they couldnt find out what was wrong with me (had many symptoms) until i was 35 when a specialist tested for the actual disease.\n\nif he is having heart issues right now, it could be from the hepatitis c virus itself. hcv is not just a liver disease...it only needs the liver to reproduce it's genetically changed virons.\n\nthe other issue is that with HCV is that the main artery could be affected. \n\nmany dont understand the consequences of the chronicity of HCV until it's too late.\n\nwish i could help you more.

I am a chronic sinus sufferer. I had a situation where I'd get over a cold but the right side of my nose would stay congested.  In addition I was haveing pain in my face whenever I stood up or sat down.  You should have a CT Scan of the sinus cavities.  I had one and it showed that where my sinuses where supposed to drain, there was blockage.  So the mucous would stay even when I shouls have been feeling better. So, I had outpatient surgery.  My doctor opened the blocked sinuses.  Now, my nose darins and I don't have prolonged colds.  So, to make a long answer short...het a CT sins scan.  If nothing else, it will act as a baseline for future problems should you have any.  Good luck you you!
