Dalada Pain Pill Affects On Liver Enzymes
UpdatedHaving surgery in near future, but liver enzymes are high, should this medication be ruled out? what are my options? Should i postpone this surgery? I found this problem out after surgery was scheduled.

Dilaudid (hydromorphone) is metabolized (broken down) by the liver, but I haven't come across any clear congruent information stating whether or not it causes liver damage or potentiates an existing condition like that which you mentioned.
According to the prescribing information for Dilaudid, people with moderate liver impairment should be started at a low dose and monitored carefully while the dose is being adjusted. For more specific information though, I would suggest consulting with your doctor, surgeon, and/or pharmacist for guidance based on your health status and current medications, particularly before taking any action.
I hope this helps!
Thank you. Surgery is on Monday, and yes i have spoken to Dr. too. Should only be for short period of time that i will have to take them, at least that is my hope!
