Why is my hepatic duct echogenicity decreased?

When the liver has a problem (echogenicity decreased) and the tubes that carry bile are not big (ducts and veins not dilated), it can indicate that the liver is not functioning properly. This sometimes occurs due to infections or a liver that is too fat. To get the right treatment, you must see a hepatologist for a check-up and more tests.

Can liver syrup treat my black jaundice at home?

Black jaundice, also known as hepatitis E, can make your skin and eyes turn yellow. It can lead to weariness, fever, and haul of the belly. This is due to the liver getting sick from a particular virus. To get better, sleep a lot, drink only clean water, and consume proper foods. Don't use alcohol and don't eat fatty foods. Your body will be able to destroy the virus in a few weeks.

Why do I have fever for 3 months with swollen liver and low HB levels?

The complaints you have of long-lasting fever, cough, weakness, and swollen liver make me worried. The lab results hint that your hemoglobin is low, and liver enzyme levels are elevated. This could be an indication of some infection or inflammation in your body. Further investigations and a thorough evaluation by a hepatologist are needed to find out the exact cause and provide you with the right treatment.

Do I produce more urine with jaundice?

When a person has jaundice, the urine is usually darker in color, although not more than normal. Jaundice is a condition that occurs when there is too much bilirubin in the blood and this causes a change in the color of the skin and eyes. The direct cause of jaundice will determine the exact treatment prescribed for this condition, so it is essential to visit a hepatologist.

You're worried about your ALT level being 104. ALT is a liver enzyme that can rise when there's a liver issue.
