Liver disease.But no symptoms. Today check it and getting caught.I have report also.

Answered on 3rd Dec '24

A symptomatic liver disease can be quite confusing. Liver disease has many causes like alcohol, viruses, or obesity. The LFT result must be reviewed to get additional information. Staying fit means maintaining a good diet, exercising and not using such substances, and thereby helping to manage liver disease. Consult your health care provider to offer the necessary advice.

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.

Answered on 25th Oct '24

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.

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.

Answered on 10th Oct '24

Black jaundice, also known as hepatitis E, can make your skin and eyes turn yellow. It can lead to weariness, fever, and haul of the belly. This is due to the liver getting sick from a particular virus. To get better, sleep a lot, drink only clean water, and consume proper foods. Don't use alcohol and don't eat fatty foods. Your body will be able to destroy the virus in a few weeks.

Answered on 25th Sept '24

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.

Sir can fibrosis at F3 can never reversed to F0 Liver

Answered on 19th Sept '24

Fibrosis stage F3 refers to some serious scarring in your liver which is not good. The same thing can come from illnesses such as hepatitis or drinking too much. The good news is with the right treatment the fibrosis can improve and even revert to a healthier stage like F0. Eating a healthy diet, avoiding alcohol, and taking prescribed medications can all help in this process.

Asked for Male, 18

Hi i have recently gotten a level of 104 ALT on a blood test and my mom is freaking out I really don't want to have anything serious and i'm really scared. Could it be because of my inactivity levels during the summer? I recently gained a lot of weight since I did not exercise in the summer and I am now 5'8 and 202 pounds.

Answered on 13th Sept '24

You're worried about your ALT level being 104. ALT is a liver enzyme that can rise when there's a liver issue. Inactivity and weight gain can affect liver health, often leading to fatty liver, even without symptoms. The solution is regular exercise and a healthier diet. Taking care of your liver through a healthy lifestyle is key.

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?

Answered on 26th Aug '24

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.

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

Answered on 2nd Aug '24

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.

i am 86 year old, i have liver disease which is casing my leg and stomach to swollen and itching of the body, please which drugs should i buy

Answered on 14th June '24

You are exhibiting the symptoms of liver disease. Swollen legs and stomach, along with body itching, are the symptoms of people with the said condition. The entire process of removing toxins from the body and the liver's poor functioning that leads to the development of these symptoms must be considered. At the pharmacy, you can purchase medications for your liver that can help you reduce the swelling caused by your liver, for instance, diuretics and antihistamines. But I insist you seek medical help before getting any treatment.

Your case with progressive changes from fatty liver to a rougher hepatic consistency and abnormal LFTs should worry, which is why PLDT would be the way your condition requires. It is advisable to visit a specialized hepatologist or gastroenterologist dealing with diseases of the liver. These specialists are able to offer a complete evaluation, including possible testing with advanced imaging and perhaps liver biopsy, for evaluating the degree of liver injury and how best it should be managed. Management of such advanced liver disease should be carried out meticulously and may include medications adjustments, lifestyle changes as well as monitoring.

Consult with a professional specializing in liver disorders. Treatment options will depend on the underlying cause and severity of the damage. Lifestyle changes, medications, or even a liver transplant may be considered. Prompt medical attention and following professional guidance are crucial in managing the condition effectively.

My father got liver disease from last 6 months after we removed galbladder 8 month before due to stone. That time doctor told having liver disease ,now they are asking to do liver transplant can you suggest is it necessary to do or any other option with medication can cure.

Answered on 23rd May '24

If your father has been diagnosed with liver disease following gallbladder removal, and the doctors are recommending a liver transplant, it suggests that his liver function has significantly declined. A liver transplant is considered the definitive treatment for end stage liver disease when other options may not be sufficient.

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

No, a medical treatment is usually not required as these kind lesions are benign and do not cause any symptoms. But I advise you to visit the concerned doctor regularly to monitor the lesions and check their growth and know whether they are causing any other problem. 

Asked for Female, 68

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.

Answered on 23rd May '24

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.

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

Answered on 23rd May '24

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!
