Patient's Query

Hello my 5 month and 13 days old baby have itching all over the body and brusing Bilirubine 20,7 mol/L 12,1 mg/L Is that mean she have a liver problem

Hepatology

Answered by Dr. Babita Goel

Itching all over the body and elevated bilirubin levels can be concerning, but it doesn't necessarily mean a liver problem right away. High bilirubin can be due to various reasons like liver issues or even something as simple as a temporary infection. It's essential to have your baby evaluated by a pediatrician to determine the exact cause. In the meantime, try to keep your baby comfortable by using gentle lotions for the itching. Stay calm, and let's get your baby checked out to ensure she gets the care she needs.

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

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.

You might have a condition known as ascites; this occurs when the abdomen fills with fluid because of liver damage. This could be caused by alcoholism, hepatitis C, or non-alcoholic steatohepatitis. The way we treat it is by managing what caused your liver to become unhealthy in addition to drugs that decrease water retention and changes in diet plans.

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

Male | 18

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.

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.

After drinking seven Penadol at once, what should you do before something happens?

Female | 16

I don't advocate that a person must take seven Panadol tablets all at once. It is an excessive amount and it can even be dangerous. If your body has absorbed that amount, it is necessary to immediately see a hepatologist, they will analyze you for side effects in case there are any and recommend the right treatment.

Elevated levels of ALT and AST can indicate liver stress or damage, which might arise from various causes like fatty liver, alcohol use, certain medications, or viral infections. Bilirubin levels seem within general limits, but it's essential to monitor them alongside liver enzymes. Your triglycerides and LDL cholesterol are slightly above the desired range, which points to dietary or lifestyle factors. Consider adopting a balanced diet, regular exercise, and reducing alcohol intake. It’s advisable to consult a gastroenterologist for a thorough evaluation and personalized recommendations to ensure your well-being.

My total bilirubin is 2.9 mgs/Dil, Direct bilirubin is 1.4 mgs/dil

Male | 31

When blood total bilirubin levels are high, the chances are that the liver or gallbladder is not functioning properly. However, direct bilirubin may tell that it is a liver problem in processing bile. This may arise from infections, liver diseases, or blockages in the bile ducts. It is vital to consult with a hepatologist about these results to find the most agreeable treatment for you.

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.
