If the liver is not functioning properly, the person may feel fatigued, become jaundiced, see yellow skin and eyes, and experience pain on the right side. Liver disease can be the result of virus attacks, overconsumption of alcohol, or obesity that leads to metabolic disorders. Take care of your liver and you will be forced to follow healthy eating habits, do regular workouts, and limit your alcohol consumption.

My fiancé was diagnosed with chronic hepatitis B last year. Though she has been treated. Now I’m scared to have sex with her. Please is it safe?
Female | 31
Hepatitis B is a virus that mainly affects the liver. Tiredness, jaundice (yellow skin), and stomach pain are some possible causes. Your fiancée has been treated and it is generally safe to have sex, but it is important to use protection such as condoms to minimize the risk of spreading the virus.

Male | 23
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a virus that can make you feel extremely ill. You might experience extreme fatigue, yellow discoloration of the eyes, and stomach pain. HBV is transmitted via blood and other body fluids. A hepatologist should be consulted for information. Medicines can assist in the treatment of HBV, and the good management of your health can lead to the improvement of your health.

My mother is suffering from liver cirrhosis. Key symptoms are - drop in HB every 10 days, GI bleeding through varices, ammonia increase in body from time to time which has been treated with duphalac enema. APC has been done twice. But bleeding and HB drop has continued.
Female | 73
Managing the variceal bleeding and elevated ammonia levels may involve procedures like APC, band ligation, or TIPS, and medications like lactulose. Regular monitoring of liver cirrhosis function and supportive care, including nutrition, are also crucial. Consult your doctor or a hepatologist.

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.

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.

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.

I am 42 years old I have HBV and I want medicine to cure.how can I get your consultation
Male | 42
HBV is a viral infection that can cause liver damage. Possible signs are weariness, jaundice (yellow skin or eyes), and abdomen discomfort. This virus is transmitted through direct contact with blood or fluids from an infected person. Medication can help to control the virus, but no cure is available. I suggest visiting a hepatologist if you want to get a diagnosis and treatment plan.

Hai i am male 49 years, from few months my platelets count reduced up to 27000. Gastro dr. do sonography and endoscopy, and find compensated cirrhosis of liver. i want to Know what is the long term effect and what kind of diet should i take. Thanks
Male | 48
If your doctor has suggested that you are suffering from compensated cirrhosis, this means the patient is in the early stage of cirrhosis. such patients need to be evaluated thoroughly for the cause of cirrhosis. Also these patients need to be under regular follow up with liver specialists to diagnose and treat complications when and where these complications arise. Also these patients need to be under strict liver-related diet control. Diet is generally modified and custom made for each and every patient. Hope this clears your doubt and reach out if you do have unresolved queries!

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.

Anti - HBs -Ag (antibody to Au antigen ) Results positive . That means what
Male | 26
You are diagnosed with antibodies that are against the hepatitis B surface antigen which means you are being protected from hepatitis B. It means your body has successfully fought off hepatitis B infection or you have been vaccinated against it. You may not have any symptoms, but it's important to keep your health by eating healthily, exercising, and avoiding alcohol to keep your liver in good shape. Ensure to get regular check-ups with your healthcare provider to monitor your health.

My wife has issue with abdomen pain & according to Dr the lever is fatty We have done USG of upper & lower abdomen & it shows bit enlargement of lever What shall we do next
Female | 62
Liver enlargement and fatty liver are generally associated together. If a patient has a fatty liver, the patient needs to be evaluated for all metabolic syndrome which includes diabetes, hypertension, cholesterol and thyroid problems. Such individuals need to undergo Liver function test, also these patients may or may not need liver fibroscan to know if liver fibrosis has set in. Treatment depends upon the degree of liver injury and associated comorbidities. diagnosis of fatty liver should be taken seriously as some of these patients may develop NASH (non alcoholic steatohepatitis) in long term. You can refer this page to find hepatologists - Hepatologist in Mumbai, let the clinicspots team know if your city is different, or you can reach out to me as well.

Can you smoke while taking periton and Becomplex with iron
Female | 18
Both Periton and Becomplex with iron can be affected by smoking. This means that smoking can reduce their effectiveness and even cause harm to your body. If you smoke while taking these drugs, you may experience nausea or shortness of breath due to irritation of the stomach and lungs. So, if you want your medicines to work better, don't smoke.
