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...

Answered on 23rd May '24

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

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 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.

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.

Last 8 month before i have checked blood test, That result is showing hbsag is positive (Elisa test 4456). Yesterday i checked blood test Hbsag is positive and value is 5546). How to reduce the value and result is negative. If any medicine and treatment.

Male | 29

The HBsAg test is positive, which means you have been infected with the hepatitis B virus (HBV). To manage this, it's important to follow your doctor's treatment plan, including taking antiviral medications regularly. These medications can help reduce the viral load in your body. Along with a healthy lifestyle, this approach can help control the infection and potentially lead to a negative result in future tests.

Male | 21

I would suggest refraining from nonvegetarian foods until your liver has 100% recovered from the rupture. While recovering, it is also important to eat a balanced and healthy diet that will help in the liver’s recovery. Talk to your doctor for guidelines

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.

Female | 18

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.

Female | 44

Thank you for looking after your health proactively. The remedy Livolin is largely recommended for liver assist, which, on the other hand, can have some antioxidant advantages, though. The first step in starting or changing a supplement is to consult your healthcare provider for safety, especially since you have hepatitis B. Assessing your liver function and viral load should be a priority for the sake of your health. The wise decision in such a case is indeed a medical consultation instead of using supplements alone. I suggest that you have a deep talk with your physician in order to check whether the new entry fits to your health needs and your treatment plan. It’s your own precious life and you are making the best decisions to control your health.

Elevated alkaline phosphatase and SGOT levels may indicate issues related to the liver, bones, or bile ducts. Common causes include liver disease, bone disorders, or certain medications. Symptoms to watch for include fatigue, jaundice, abdominal pain, or unusual bruising. It’s important to discuss these results with your healthcare provider, who can assess your overall health, recommend further tests if necessary, and provide guidance tailored to your situation.
