70 and suspected liver problem

Posted By Jan (Homer, Alaska) on 08/28/2014

Hi: I am 70 years of age. Recently noticed dark spots on my face. Also, my urine is dark now. Think it may be liver related. Please help.

Dear Jan from Homer Alaska, You need to see a doctor and be properly diagnosed. The symptoms you discussed could be signs of liver failure. But also some other conditions. And if it is liver failure you still need to know the cause of said liver failure. Until and unless you know what you are up against a helpful treatment is at best guess work. So get to a doctor and get that diagnosis. It is your life. Is it not worth the trouble and expensive of seeing a doctor? ...Oscar
