I was warned by my dermatologist that they will watch my liver closely with this disease. Liver function is affected by HS and the medications for it.

With my Antibiotics I take. Regularly, I have to have my liver checked, periodically. I think they just take blood samples.

I just read up about liver damage, & I do have two of the symptoms... enlarged stomach, & swollen ankles. I am surprised, my doctor hasn't looked into this,, any further.
