 Met and its effect on the liver
When I was in college, I donated blood and found out that I had the Hep C antibody in my blood. I'm one of those people who have no idea how they got it. I never took, let alone shared, IV drugs; never had a blood transfusion; I hadn't even had sex with anyone yet. Anyway, that's not important to my story...
I've never actually had Hep C. I just have the antibody. I get tested every year, but my doc thinks it just passed through my body somehow, leaving only the antibody. I prefer to be very careful about what medications I put in my body.
I went to an OB/GYN who specializes in PCOS. He put me on met and when I inquired about effects on the liver, he told me that met doesn't pass through the liver. He told me that it is broken down in the kidneys. He is the only one who has ever said this to me, and, trust me, I do plenty of research. Just to be safe, I made an appointment with another doctor (endocrinologist) to get her/his opinion. Do any of you ladies know (for a fact) how met affects the liver?
