Liver Functions after Whipple

Posted by whipple2232 @whipple2232, Aug 3, 2024

Has anyone experienced high liver function levels (ALP and ALT) months after Whipple surgery? Mine have always been normal prior to surgery, but ten months out, they have become very elevated. I’ll be meeting with my oncologist on Tuesday.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Pancreatic Cancer Support Group.

Yes. When I asked my oncologist about that, she replied that they noticed that was common with Whipple patients and they don't know why. It's been nearly 5 years for me and the one thing I DID do upon discovering my pancreatic tumor was to quit drinking any alcohol. I feel good and save lots of money! 😁

Thank you for sharing your details. My sister had Whipple in Dec 24 and in Feb 25 has learned of early onset NAFLD. Is there anything you have found to be helpful in managing liver levels? Did it ever level out for you?
