[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really doubt either an ED or alcoholism would cause that level of liver damage in her 30s.  Usually you don’t see cirrhosis until much later even in very heavy drinkers.

More likely it is hepatitis.  I had a friend who this happened to her in 30s.  She got a liver transplant.  Lost an incredible amount of weight with the whole process.

Could have also been cancer that spread to liver.

Rest in peace.

You are incorrect on all accounts. [/quote]

Definitely not wrong with the account about my friend!
For lover cirrhosis in such a young patient, it would be pretty rare and due to extreme binge drinking.  Just really doubt that’s the case here.  
Hepatitis is the more common cause of liver damage across all age groups, but especially among 30-somethings.  
I don’t have the stats on ED for liver damage but I’ve known lots of anorexics and none of them died from liver damage or even had jaundice issues.  Plus the weight loss she had looked like acute liver failure.

PP that mentioned Tylenol may have the right answer — Tylenol plus alcohol is a really bad combo and can definitely cause liver failure in an otherwise healthy adult.  [/quote]
