This seems to be a key concern of vets, but if you do more checking on line, you find that there are no reports of actual liver damage (in animals or in people for that matter). The enzymes temporarily rise, then fall when discontinued, with no lasting liver effects. One vet told me that the combination of Winstrol and prednisolone may be beneficial because the prednisolone may buffer any liver impact of the Winstrol. In my experience, when I have used the Winstrol, in two cats I saw the liver enzymes rise (one very dramatically) but both had their levels return to normal after only a few day off the Winstrol.
Unfortunately, this dramatic rise is the reason I have been given by vets as to why they all stopped using Winstrol several decades ago. There was a report of potential liver DAMAGE, but in the end, that hasn’t been borne out by any research or confirmed in the literature.

Could it cause liver disease? Also has anyone used Denamarin to support the liver? Or is it not good for FeLV kitties? http://www.nutramaxlabs.com/cat/cat-liver-health/denamarin-for-cats or even milk thistle? Nancy
