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.

Sir there is too much urine in jaundice or fatty liver
Male | 18
If your body is getting rid of the excess substances, jaundice or liver disease is likely the reason for the excess urine. Symptoms can be characterized by yellow-colored skin, pain in the stomach, and fatigue. The causes may be infections or dangerous lifestyles like smoking and drinking. To aid the body, hydrate yourself with water and eat a balanced diet.

Hi I got a fibroscan done and the kpa was 8.8 and the cap was 325 I was wondering how dangerous it is and can it be reversed
Male | 28
A fibroscan result with a kPa of 8.8 and a cap of 325 points towards liver issues. This can happen due to fatty liver, infections, or excessive drinking. Symptoms include tiredness, swelling in the belly, and yellow skin. To reverse it, focus on a healthy diet, exercise, and avoiding alcohol. Regular visits to a liver specialist will ensure that progress is monitored.

I am suffering from chronic liver disease and had ascites last month but now better after treatment. At Jan month My albumin 2.3, AST 102 & ALT 92 level is reduced albumin 2.7, AST 88 IU/L & ALT 52 IU/L. My USG report taken during ascites shows DCLD & liver reduced in size, measures 10.4cm & coarse parenchymal echo texture with surface irregularity noted.portal vein indistinct. Following a healthy diet. Kindly advise if my liver had chances to regenerate or symtoms goes worse. Any treatment to cure.
Female | 68
It is possible for the liver to regenerate, especially if the damage to the liver is not too severe. However, this is not always the case, and the extent to which the liver can regenerate may depend on the underlying cause of the liver damage.
There are several treatments that may be helpful in managing chronic liver disease. These may include medications to control symptoms and complications, such as ascites, and lifestyle changes, such as following a healthy diet and avoiding alcohol. In some cases, a liver transplant may be necessary if the liver damage is severe and not reversible.
You must follow your doctor's recommendations for treatment and to continue to monitor your liver function tests and other symptoms closely. It is also important to avoid activities that could further damage your liver, such as drinking alcohol and taking certain medications that may be harmful to the liver.

i am 86 year old, i have liver disease which is casing my leg and stomach to swollen and itching of the body, please which drugs should i buy
Male | 86
You are exhibiting the symptoms of liver disease. Swollen legs and stomach, along with body itching, are the symptoms of people with the said condition. The entire process of removing toxins from the body and the liver's poor functioning that leads to the development of these symptoms must be considered. At the pharmacy, you can purchase medications for your liver that can help you reduce the swelling caused by your liver, for instance, diuretics and antihistamines. But I insist you seek medical help before getting any treatment.

A positive hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) on a blood test shows that you are currently infected with the hepatitis B virus (HBV). The CLIA value in the test is 4230 which is considered a high level of HBsAg, that indicates a higher risk of transmission to others.

I have done many tests but all came back negative but my liver is swollen. HB-7.2 SGOT-135 SGOT-78 SERUM BILROBIN 3.9 XINE XPERT negative Blood culture - no growth CSF- normal
Male | 4
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.

My GGT Level in Liver Function Test is 465. What does that means? Any suggestions or medicines to reduce the same.
Male | 40
High GGT levels for a liver function test, an indication of liver disorder, is a sign that should be given attention to. It means, aside from tiredness, that an individual might also get jaundiced-skin or suffer from bellyache. It is possible that it can be due to drinking alcohol, liver disease, or some drugs. To lower these levels, try to stay away from alcoholic beverages, eat a healthy diet and have enough water. Make sure to get more accurate answers by visiting a hepatologist.

After drinking seven Penadol at once, what should you do before something happens?
Female | 16
I don't advocate that a person must take seven Panadol tablets all at once. It is an excessive amount and it can even be dangerous. If your body has absorbed that amount, it is necessary to immediately see a hepatologist, they will analyze you for side effects in case there are any and recommend the right treatment.

I am having a high bilirubin 1.62, and this is the 2nd time. Last year at this same time I had it. And due to this I can't eat properly, and I feel vomiting as soon as I take a sip of water after eating. It's already been 15 days. It's making my appetite low, I feel low. I eat very less now, and in that too It's feel like my stomach is tight and blown up. Pls help me?
Male | 19.5
Based on the complaints and elevated bilirubin levels you seem to be suffering from a type of liver disorder, a condition wherein excess accumulation of bilirubin (a brown yellow coloured compound formed in breaking down of red blood cells) occurs. With loss of appetite, vomiting, stomach tightness and bloating; fever, extreme fatigue and abdominal pain can also be seen in liver diseases.
• There are multiple causes for development of liver dysfunction such as infection, autoimmune liver diseases like cholangitis, Wilson’s disease, cancer, alcoholic liver (due to alcohol abuse) and non-alcoholic (due to excessive consumption of fats) and drug induced.
• When using a medicine that is known to have the potential to cause liver damage, your doctor may recommend you to have blood tests done on a routine basis after starting the medication so that any signs of liver damage may be recognised before symptoms develop.
• Common medications that can cause damage to the liver include Paracetamol, Statins – drugs for lowering cholesterol levels and certain herbs.
• Other liver function parameters such as AST(aspartate aminotransferase), ALT(alanine transaminase), ALP(alkaline phosphatase) and GGT(gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase) bilirubin are required to be evaluated and additional to this for determining the exact cause of dysfunction especially to confirm presence of jaundice; urinalysis, CT (for distinguishing between biliary obstruction and liver disease including cancer) and liver biopsy (for ruling out concern about possible liver cancer) needs to performed.
• The treatment is based on the underlying cause and damage levels and can range from dietary changes, medications such as antibiotics, sedatives, etc to liver transplants.
• Consult hepatologist near you for further assessment and treatment.

A liver disease might've troubled you for a while. Hepatitis viruses or alcohol excess can infect the liver. You may feel exhausted, have yellow skin, and dark urine.

My total bilirubin is 2.9 mgs/Dil, Direct bilirubin is 1.4 mgs/dil
Male | 31
When blood total bilirubin levels are high, the chances are that the liver or gallbladder is not functioning properly. However, direct bilirubin may tell that it is a liver problem in processing bile. This may arise from infections, liver diseases, or blockages in the bile ducts. It is vital to consult with a hepatologist about these results to find the most agreeable treatment for you.

Doctor I have jaundice sir I have a lot of urine sir is there more urine in jaundice or not
Male | 18
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.
