Answered on 28th Jan '25

Managing stage 3 cirrhosis requires careful medical attention. Symptoms can include fatigue, jaundice, and swelling in the abdomen. Causes often relate to chronic alcohol use, viral hepatitis, or fatty liver disease. To effectively treat this condition, lifestyle changes, medications, and regular monitoring are vital. Seeking care at a teaching hospital or community clinic may offer low-cost options. It’s also beneficial to consult a gastroenterologist or hepatologist specializing in liver issues. Regular follow-ups and adherence to prescribed therapy can significantly improve quality of life.

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.

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.

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.

Female | 56

Liver cirrhosis is whe­re scar tissue builds up in the live­r. Longstanding issues like heavy drinking or viral he­patitis cause this. Some signs are tire­dness, swollen legs, and ye­llow skin. Doctors treat cirrhosis by controlling underlying problems. The­y may prevent alcohol use and pre­scribe drugs for symptoms. Eating well and exe­rcising also help manage cirrhosis.

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.

Sir/ma'am I did a cbt,lft,kft test My hb-16 (13-17) Rbc-5.6(4.5-5.5) Pcv-50.3%(40-50) Sgpt-72(45) Sgot-38.5(35) Ggt-83(55) Uric acid-8.8(7) It is elevated..I am worried about the results

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.

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.

Sir there is too much urine in jaundice or fatty liver

Male | 18

If your body is getting rid of the excess substances, jaundice or liver disease is likely the reason for the excess urine. Symptoms can be characterized by yellow-colored skin, pain in the stomach, and fatigue. The causes may be infections or dangerous lifestyles like smoking and drinking. To aid the body, hydrate yourself with water and eat a balanced diet.

My father suffering from nonalcoholic steatohepatitis

Male | 53

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.
