• 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.

You could be reacting to an overdose of paracetamol. Yellow in the whites of your eyes can be a sign of liver problems. This can be if you take paracetamol in excess. It is crucial to get medical assistance immediately. The doctor can examine your liver and give treatment if necessary.

I have jondies bilirubin count 1.42 any problem???
Male | 36
Bilirubin, a yellow substance from old blood cells, is slightly high at 1.42, which exceeds normal limits. Elevated bilirubin can cause jaundice, leading to yellowing of the skin and eyes. This may indicate liver issues, gallstones, or infections. It's important to consult a hepatologist for further tests to identify the cause and get the right treatment.

Respected Doctor Sir, Myself a 63 years old Non-alcoholic, retired man from a Pharmaceutical MNC Abbott, got diagnosed with Chronic Liver problem I e. Liver Cirrosis about three years back. Since, I am in Delhi, arranged best possible treatments from Max Hospital, ILBS & Apollo hospital. But all doctors clearly told me.... only option left is Liver Transplantation. I tried best for healthy & maching Liver but couldn't succeeded so far. Apart from Allopathic, I approached Professor & Head of the department Homeo- pathy and very renowned Ayurvedic doctor. All the doctors tried their best for recovery & I noticed the remarkable change in Fibroscan reports. ( Attaching both reports). But some problems remained as it is like.... Whole body itching, Loss of Stamina/vigour. My Whole body PLATELETS not improving. My Protine difficencies & Albumin lebel not satisfactory. For avoiding loss of Albumin, doctor recommends use of Hunan Albumin Interavenus Injections after intervalbof 15 days. Heavy weaknesses & Constipation. I spent my all retirement funds for treatments on Continuous doctor's consultations, repeated tests, Fibroscans, Ultrasounds, Costly Medicines, Admissions etc & having lot of financial crises. Even though life was going ok with some little problems. Suddenly on 27th December -23, when I was being injected Albumin, suddenly Some drops of Blood noticed on my tongue and I stopped using Albumin & informed Apollo Hospital Doctor, He suggested, I should get an emergency admission in nearby Hospital. So I got admitted in Max hospital, where my new problems were started during treatments. As per Max Doctors, my heart, Lungs, Kidneys, Pancreas were not functioning normal & I started feeling Memory loss. The doctors were telling that no chances of survival now & advised family to allow to put me on ventilator but my son hesitated & in same condition, he got me Apollo Hospital in mid night. I think Max hospital only seen their monotary benefits & recovered around 14.00 lacs for treatment through Insurance co. Then slowly slowly, I got recovery & after a weak, I got recovery . Sir, I am having no pain in and around Abdomen area, no swelling anywhere. For checking Ascites, doctors asked me to take half tablets of Lessilactone. Only feeling heavy Weekness, loss of stamina. I approached one of my doctor relative & he said as per MELD SCORE of 16, no immediate Transplant is advisable. Please see my attached reports & put your comments, whether, I may survive 5-6 years with this problem without Transplantation. I shall take video consultation with you but before that, I informed my few details to you for your better assessments & reply. WITH MY FOLDED HAND, I HUMBLY REQUEST YOURGOODSELF TO PLEASE SEE MY DETAILS THROUGHLY AND GIVE YOUR BEST POSSIBLE ADVISES. Best regards, Chaitanya Prakash Delhi Mobile. 9891740622

Liver cirrhosis can bring itching, low energy, fewer platelets, and protein troubles. Those issues happen when damaged livers can't do their jobs right across your body. It's key to treat those symptoms closely and regularly check your condition. A good lifestyle, proper diet, and listening to your hepatologist can boost your overall wellness.
