I am suffering from chronic liver disease from may 2017. I was fine but now my serum bilirubin in 3.8 and early 10 days 5.01 without any symptom

Male | 55

• Cirrhosis is a late stage of liver scarring (fibrosis) induced by a variety of liver disorders and conditions, including hepatitis and persistent drinking. When your liver is damaged, whether through illness, excessive alcohol intake, or another cause, it attempts to restore itself. Scar tissue arises as a result of the procedure.

• It causes scar tissue to grow, making it harder for the liver to function (decompensated cirrhosis) and is considered to be potentially fatal by nature. The liver damage is often irreversible. However, if detected early and the underlying cause is addressed, additional damage can be reduced and, in rare cases, reversed.

• It often has no signs or symptoms until liver damage is extensive.

• On damage the following signs/symptoms can be seen  - Fatigue , easy bleeding/bruising , Loss of appetite, Nausea, pedal/ankle odema, Weight loss, Itchy skin, Yellow coloured eyes and skin, ascites(fluid accumulation in abdomen), spiderlike blood vessels, redness of palms, absence/loss of periods (not related to menopause), libido and gynecomastia(breast growth in males)/testicular atrophy, Confusion, sleepiness, and slurred speech (hepatic encephalopathy)

• Usually, the total bilirubin test shows 1.2 mg/dL for adults and 1 mg/dL for children under the age of 18. The normal value for direct bilirubin is 0.3 mg/dL.

• Normal findings may differ somewhat between men and women, and results may be influenced by particular diets, drugs, or severe activity. Bilirubin levels that are lower than normal are typically not a cause for worry. Elevated levels might be a sign of liver injury or illness.

• Higher-than-normal amounts of direct bilirubin in your blood may suggest that your liver isn't adequately removing bilirubin. Elevated indirect bilirubin levels may signal other issues.

• Gilbert's syndrome, a lack in an enzyme that aids in the breakdown of bilirubin, is a frequent and innocuous cause of high bilirubin. Further tests may be ordered by your doctor to explore your situation. Bilirubin test results can also be used to track the evolution of specific illnesses like jaundice.

• Further laboratory investigations such as AST(aspartate aminotransferase), ALT(alanine transaminase), ALP(alkaline phosphatase) and GGT(gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase); Total Albumin, Lactic Dehydrogenase, Alpha protein, 5’nucleotide, mitochondrial antibody and PTT levels need to be determined and procedures such as CT scan, MRI (for liver tissue damage) and biopsy (in case of chance of any cancerous growth) need to be performed.

You can also visit hepatologist for detailed treatment.

i am hep b Patient. I am 44. i have been on livolin for 3months now an dthe doctor recommended Rain soul to me today and i wanted to asked if it is ok. i also want tell that i did some test and they are as follow: 1. liver function test 2. hep b viral load

Female | 44

Thank you for looking after your health proactively. The remedy Livolin is largely recommended for liver assist, which, on the other hand, can have some antioxidant advantages, though. The first step in starting or changing a supplement is to consult your healthcare provider for safety, especially since you have hepatitis B. Assessing your liver function and viral load should be a priority for the sake of your health. The wise decision in such a case is indeed a medical consultation instead of using supplements alone. I suggest that you have a deep talk with your physician in order to check whether the new entry fits to your health needs and your treatment plan. It’s your own precious life and you are making the best decisions to control your health.

My father has jaundice for 1 month. Bilirubin level 14. Few days ago father was given 5 blood.. But now hemoglobin levels is 6. Why the hemoglobin decreasing? What is the risk?

Male | 73

The decrease in hemoglobin could be due to continued blood loss, reduced red blood cell production, or hemolysis. Low hemoglobin levels can lead to fatigue, weakness, and other health risks. So consult his doctor soon for proper treatment.

Cld patient and week liver lose of sense

Male | 56

Such symptoms may include fatigue, jaundice (yellowing of skin), and generalized malaise. An affected liver can be triggered by different factors such as the intake of medications, alcohol, and certain medications. To enhance the performance of your liver, take in a balanced diet, drink enough water, and abstain from taking alcohol. However, it is strongly recommended that you talk to a healthcare professional who will give you personal advice and possibly conduct necessary tests.

Liver disease.But no symptoms. Today check it and getting caught.I have report also.

Male | 57

A symptomatic liver disease can be quite confusing. Liver disease has many causes like alcohol, viruses, or obesity. The LFT result must be reviewed to get additional information. Staying fit means maintaining a good diet, exercising and not using such substances, and thereby helping to manage liver disease. Consult your health care provider to offer the necessary advice.

HbsAg positive hai 2.87 hai

Male | 21

A positive test result for the presence of HBsAg at 2.87 or above indicates potential infection with Hepatitis B virus. Symptoms may include fatigue, jaundice (yellowing skin/eyes), and abdominal pain. The disease is spread through contact with infected blood or other body fluids so if you think you may have been at risk it's best to get screened as soon as possible.

Hi what does it mean if you have lost immunity to hip b ?

Female | 33

If you have lost immunity to hepatitis B, it means that your body is no longer protected against the hepatitis B virus. Immunity to HBV is typically acquired through vaccination or prior infection.
