IMO they’d check to see if her liver was compromised before giving her any medication to treat it. It likely would have been normal that early.Regarding the 'liver protection drug' (which some people have speculated was Milk Thistle - something relatively harmless), would the doctors have performed a liver function test to check her liver was functioning normal and therefore could withstand the 'liver protection drug' -or- would they have needed to see there was a problem with her liver in order to justify giving her the 'liver protection drug'?
IMO if doctors were concerned that she was at risk of liver failure they wouldn’t have released her, instead they would have kept her for observation for at least a couple days. They would have repeated the tests and also kept an eye on her kidneys.
OTOH I don’t know anything about milk thistle so if it’s something innocuous that doesn’t have serious side effects maybe they just gave her some as a routine precaution, symptoms or not.
In any case once they inserted an IV blood draws would routinely be ordered and anything out of the ordinary would have been flagged.
