Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have attached the files of my liver and wanted a doctor to review them. I am currently on Losartan 50 mg.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

It is very difficult to comment on your liver status just based on an image (attachment removed to protect patient identity).

Have they not provided you a report of this scan? For what symptoms were these tests are conducted.

Revert with the asked details for better help.

Patient's Query

Thank you doctor,

I took this scan because after a liver function test showed high ALT (47). Doctor took an ultrasound and said I had a fatty liver. And I took a CT test to confirm if that was true or false. I wanted to know, is my liver fatty or not? My height is 180 cm and weigh about 73 kg. I am a non-smoker and heavy drinker for ten years (binge drink approximately 2-3 times or more a week).

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

It seems that you are suffering from alcoholic fatty liver disease. Since your body weight is appropriate to your height, so I believe obesity is not the cause. The report also suggests fatty changes in the liver. I would recommend you to stop alcohol consumption completely. Discuss with your doctor to prescribe you Ursodeoxycholic acid for six weeks.

I hope this helps.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
