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.

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.

What amount of s.g.p.t value to normal liver

Male | 18

When we assess S.L.T. the S.G.P.T level is being analyzed. A normal S.G.P.T level for a healthy liver is below 40 units per liter. Higher levels of the liver could indicate that it is not healthy. Signs like weakness, jaundice, or the yellowing of the skin, are some of the symptoms. Drinking too much alcohol or having a fatty liver are among the causes. To get better, drink less of alcohol and eat a diet full of vegetables.

The liver can partially recover even if it's 50% damaged, depending on the cause and overall health. Reversible conditions like viral infections or certain medication-related damage may allow for better recovery.

How to reduce bilurubin levels

Male | 23

Bilirubin is a yellow substance­ that forms when old red blood cells bre­ak down. If too much bilirubin builds up, your skin and eyes can turn yellow. That's jaundice. It might signal a liver issue, infection, or bile­ duct blockage. The underlying cause­ must be treated to re­duce bilirubin levels. Some­times, medication or procedure­s help lower the le­vels too. Don't ignore jaundice; se­e a doctor to figure out why it's happening and ge­t treated properly.
