Guest guest Posted June 24, 1999 Report Share Posted June 24, 1999 As I mentioned a few weeks ago Mike has lost a lot of weight in a fairly short time. From about 245 to 208. In speaking with a Joyce Majors at Hopkins she said , I hope I get this right, that when the liver doesn't get the protein from normal break down of food, that it then starts to break down the protein in ones muscles. Thus the weakness in the bodies ability to perform physical tasks. Once a transplant takes place will the body be able to rebuild these muscle tissues? Is there anything one can do now to help the deterioration?
