Guest guest Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 Hey all my old friends, I've been pretty sick and in a lot of pain and went inactive on most things. I have a question that I can't find an answer to and remember someone discussing this in past years. I've recently been dx with high cholesterol. I am in the process of moving to a new Hepatologist and have no doctor to ask. I did read that high cholesterol occurs in people with cholestatic liver diseases. The article by Palmer also said that it did not lead to heart disease and would not repsond to change in diet. What I want to know is whether or not it responds to statins and if anyone else has had this problem? I am having many additional health problems and am now suffering from pedal edema and ascities, but it is responsive to diuretics. I hope all are well, Thanks for any help you might have for me.
