Lindsay’s mystery medical issue unveiled
Doctors have warned party chick Lindsay Lohan that she has to look after her liver. Apparently she is already suffering from liver damage and could face serious health problems if she doesn’t stop drinking for real this time.
There were rumors going around that Lindsay’s recent appendectomy was really just a cover-up for some other medical procedure, and now we have evidence that perhaps those reports weren’t so far off from the truth. Yes, there was an appendectomy, but the story is not as clear-cut as that.
A source has told the National Enquirer, “The appendectomy was routine, but what doctors discovered in her blood work was not. Lindsay’s liver panel shows her drinking is taking a terrible toll on her health. Her liver enzymes are extremely elevated.� And now for a quick medical lesson: what the high levels show is that some of her liver cells are damaged and are leaking those enzymes into her blood. Doctors have also said Lindsay has extremely low levels of protein in her liver.
Just to add more seriousness to the situation, a source blabbed that doctors reportedly said they couldn’t believe the Herbie star was even walking around!
Sheesh, let’s just hope this all sinks in with Lindsay and she starts looking after herself.
