Is visible stomach pulse a sign of health concern?
I have noticed I can see my pulse in my stomach, and it’s worrying me. I have recently researched stuff about abdominal aortic aneurysms (because I have health anxiety) and I noticed people state that is one of the symptoms. I don’t have any other symptoms, and I know it’s normal to see your pulse in your stomach sometimes, but a lot of people say it’s visible if you’re skinny and have less abdominal fat. I’m not skinny and I’m wondering if it’s still normal? I’m really worried if it’s not.

an abdominal aortic aneurysm needs medical intervention, the condition itself should be carefully evaluated. If your symptoms worry you, please make an appointment with a vascular professional as soon as possible.

my dad has been diagnosed with fatty liver and he is diabetic too. can it be cured without liver transplant?
Male | 60
A fatty liver occurs when too much fat builds up in the liver, which can be caused by factors like obesity and diabetes. The good news is that a fatty liver can often be managed with lifestyle changes, such as eating a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and controlling blood sugar levels. Your dad should work closely with a hepatologist to create a plan that's right for him. With the right steps and care, the fatty liver can improve without the need for a liver transplant.

My brother has liver cirrhosis. Can ge be cured if he undergo stem cell therapy?
Male | 54
There's no definitive cure for liver cirrhosis. It is a condition where healthy liver tissue is replaced by scar tissue, and this damage is irreversible. Stem cell therapy is still under research and clinical trials, but it is not yet considered a standard treatment for liver cirrhosis.

Hbsag positive (5546 s/coi) value is normal or high
Male | 30
The HBsAg positive value of 5546 s/coi is too high. It may indicate a Hepatitis B infection. Symptoms can be tiredness, jaundice, and abdominal pain. Hepatitis B is caused by a virus transmitted through contact with infected blood or body fluids. Treatment may include antiviral medications. It's good to follow up with a hepatologist for proper management.

Hepatitis b positive High level viral load
Male | 31
Hepatitis B is a viral disease of the liver. High viral loads indicate active infection. Chronic cases elevate the risk of liver damage! Blood tests keep checking the infection and liver function. Vaccination is essential for preventing this! Stay away from alcohol. Remember to consult your doctor for checkups and treatments!

I am samiullah 4y old male I have been having fever for last 3 months. I have taken many medicines like colistin, tigecline but I am not getting any relief. I have some cough and weakness. 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.

I'm taking liver syrup from home. I'm black jaundice
Male | 34
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.

A high bilirubin level can be caused by various other liver problems, certain blood conditions, and other things. Follow a balanced diet to get rid of it. Quit the high-fat, processed, and sweetened food. So, include a lot of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and protein in your diet instead. Regular water consumption will keep you hydrated throughout the day.

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.

Jaundice is a disorder that affects the color of your skin, making it look yellow, and your eyes, which make them look yellow. Symptoms include yellow skin and eyes, dark urine, and tiredness. Jaundice can be the result of liver ailments like liver inflammation, and hepatitis. A good way to help it is to drink lots of water and eat healthy foods. Get a lot of rest. Steer clear of the alcohol and fatty foods that are so often consumed. Ensure that you see a hepatologist for proper treatment.

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.

I have symptom of jaundice for last 7 years
Male | 22
Having jaundice for 7 years is not usual. Jaundice is when your eyes and skin turn yellow. This occurs when your liver does not work well. Infections, liver problems, or blocked bile ducts can cause it. Tests will be required to know what is causing it. After knowing the cause, treatment will be given to make your liver work better and reduce jaundice.

Want a laboratory report analysis and advice. Urinalysis result shows proteinuria (++), trace leucocytes, mild pyuria and bacteriuria. Urine m/c/s and SEUCr are recommended to rule out UTI and nephropathy respectively. AST (SGOT) 85 ALT (SGPT) 84 GGT 209
Female | 33
Your lab report looks like it has some abnormal levels of liver enzymes (AST, ALT, GGT) which may suggest a liver ailment. Tiredness, nausea, and yellowish skin are possible symptoms. The causes can be related to the abuse of alcohol, fatty liver, or the intake of some medications. To tackle this, consulting a hepatologist is key for them to conduct further tests and advise on the most suitable treatment.

Male | 22
Some of your test results are unusually high. This may also be linked to the liver or the kidneys performing under the best conditions. High SGPT, SGOT, and GGT levels are potentially associated with liver diseases, while high uric acid levels could be a symptom of kidney disorders. You may not notice any symptoms, but it would be great to visit a physician to know the cause and receive the right treatment.

Liver cirrhosis can bring itching, low energy, fewer platelets, and protein troubles. Those issues happen when damaged livers can't do their jobs right across your body. It's key to treat those symptoms closely and regularly check your condition. A good lifestyle, proper diet, and listening to your hepatologist can boost your overall wellness.

Please do prescribed me the best and most effective medicine,Thank you.

• Hepatitis B carriers are persons who carry the hepatitis B virus in their blood but do not experience symptoms. Between 6% and 10% of persons infected with the virus will become carriers and will be able to infect others without knowing it.
• A considerable proportion of chronic hepatitis B (HBV) patients are in the inactive carrier state, which is characterised by normal transaminase levels, limited viral replication, and little liver necroinflammatory activity. After at least one year of frequent monitoring, a diagnosis is made, and lifelong follow-up is required to ensure that this status is maintained.
• In case there is no improvement in HBVDNA levels, consult your expert but do not stop the medication on your own.
• Drugs prescribed such as Tafero (tenofovir) acts by ceasing the production of new viruses, blocks or slows viral proliferation in human cells, and eliminates the infection and also boost the level of CD4 cells (white blood cells that fight infection) in your blood. Entaliv (entecavir) acts by inhibiting the viral replications processes like reverse transcription, DNA replication and transcription.
• Seek the advice of a hepatologist so that your treatment may be adjusted according to your specific needs and preferences.
