This is a state where the liver gets fat-rich and thus there is inflammation. Symptoms can be tiredness, pain in your abdomen, and jaundice when the skin and eyes go yellow. To help, he will likely have to eat healthy food, exercise, and avoid alcohol. These changes can help his liver to be intact.

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.

I'm 30 years Male & suffer from Liver disease (Fatty Liver G-1) I have lose my wait 6 kg from 66( height 5'.5") How can i recover from this disease?
Male | 30
• Fatty liver disease is a condition caused by fat buildup in the liver (i.e., when fat percentage exceeds 5 - 10% of your liver's weight), which can be caused by alcohol intake and/or a high fat diet. Individuals who are obese/overweight, have poor glycemic control/insulin resistance, have metabolic syndrome, and are taking specific drugs such as amiodarone, diltiazem, tamoxifen, or steroids are at risk of developing fatty liver.
• In some situations, it is thought to be symptomless, but in others, it can cause substantial liver damage. The good news is that it is frequently avoidable or reversible with lifestyle modifications.
• It progresses through 3 stages which include Steatohepatitis (swelling and damage of liver tissue), Fibrosis (scar tissue formation where your liver is damaged) and Cirrhosis (extensive scar tissue replacement with healthy tissue). Cirrhosis can lead to liver failure or cancer.
• Laboratory investigations consists of Liver functions tests such as AST, ALT, ALP and GGT; Total Albumin and Bilirubin, CBC, Test for viral infection, Fasting Blood Glucose, HbA1c and Lipid profile.
• Imaging procedures such as Ultrasound, CT /MRI, Elastography (for measuring stiffness of liver) and Magnetic resonance elastography and Biopsy (for ruling out any cancerous growth and for signs or any inflammation and scarring).
• If a patient has a fatty liver, he or she should be checked for the entire metabolic syndrome, which includes diabetes, hypertension, cholesterol, and thyroid issues.
• The best way to treat fatty liver is with making some lifestyle changes which can significantly improve your health which includes – Avoiding alcohol and High fat diet, Losing weight, taking medications for controlling glucose and fat(Triglyceride and Cholesterol) levels and Vitamin E with Thiazolidinediones in specific instances.
• Currently, no drug treatment is approved for management of fatty liver disease.
In order to prevent further progression of disease one can:
Maintain a healthy weight by consuming food less/minimal in in its fat percentage.
Follow a Mediterranean diet which is high in vegetables, fruits and good fats.
Exercise regularly for 45 minutes where in you can include combination of cycling with walking, cardio, CrossFit and yoga with meditation.
Restrict alcohol consumption
Consult a hepatologist near you for further evaluation and treatment and your dietician for advice on fat loss.

my daddy suffering with liver failure and accumulisation of water in stomach and now he getting more pain now what can er do.... plz emergency
Male | 45
Liver failure and water build-up can be the major contributors that lead to the victim going through a lot of suffering. The pressure water causes and the inflammation of the liver can be the main reasons for the pain. His hepatologist will prescribe medications to help manage the symptoms; in addition, he should follow a low-salt diet to reduce water retention. For a doctor to advise the real treatment options, medical help should be the first thing to do.

Cirrhosis may be a long-term result of damage to the liver, which is a result of heavy alcohol consumption or certain infections. It can come with signs such as a person being tired, having an enlarged tummy, and having yellow skin. Treatment consists of dealing with the main issue and possibly a liver transplant as well. Remember to come back to your hepatologist for more tests and recommendations.

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. Consult a hepatologist and with proper precautions to prevent transmission, its possible to manage hepatitis B.

What are the complications faced from elevated liver enzymes post-gastric bypass?
Female | 38
Elevated liver enzymes are a common complication following gastric bypass surgery. Some patients may experience an increase in liver enzymes due to the rapid weight loss after surgery. However, it is important to monitor these levels. Check with your doctor.

When you have liver cirrhosis does your belly get hard and tight and uncomfortable can't eat everything taste nasty got a bad knee that looks a bad infection like someone ate his knee off bad...
Male | 56
In advanced stages of liver cirrhosis, the abdomen can become distended and feel firm or tight due to fluid accumulation (ascites). This can cause discomfort and difficulty eating. Whereas changes in taste perception and a knee infection are not directly related to liver cirrhosis and would require separate evaluation

echogenicity of the parenchyma appears decreased intra hepatic ducts and veins are not dilated. Means
Male | 47
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.

Pricked with a needle after the patient. She was tested for antibodies to hepatitis C and accidentally tested for antibodies to the hepatitis B virus surface antigen after 4 months (result 2.38, at a rate of 10 IU/ ml of blood).1. Can I calm down a little bit about hepatitis B? 2. Can I do an express hepatitis test?3.If blood gets on the immediate skin, is this exactly a risk for infection?
Female | 30
Your hepatitis B virus surface antigen result is 2.38, which is below the normal threshold of 10 IU/ml, indicating you're likely not infected. So, you don't need to worry much about hepatitis B. If you want further reassurance, you can take a quick express test for fast results. The risk of infection from blood on your skin depends on factors like the amount of blood, any existing cuts, and how quickly you clean it off. Usually, brief contact with blood on the skin doesn't pose a high risk of hepatitis B infection. Overall, your levels are normal, so you can relax. But if you're still concerned, an express test can provide peace of mind.

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.

In my liver test SGPT is 42 and GAMMA GT is 57 more than normal range
Female | 35
Since your SGPT and Gamma GT levels showed higher values, your liver test result is fine, but slightly elevated. It may be a sign of the disease process that is manifesting itself in the form of liver damage or inflammation. Consult with a hepatologist is important. They can propose the right therapeutic methods which suits your situation best.

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.

Male | 27
According to your tests, the situation is not looking good as they are both liver and HBsAg levels. This condition can be caused by liver problems, for example, in people with a virus such as hepatitis of the liver having an inflammation. The basic symptoms include tiredness, nausea, and the skin color turning to yellow. It is necessary to get in contact with a hepatologist for further information on the treatment and consultation.
