I am not an alcoholic, but my liver is fatty. Is it NAFLD?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

• Yes, it is non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. But, you need to be worked up.

• Get liver function tests, HBsAg (hepatitis B surface antigen) and HCV (hepatitis C virus) antibody test done.

• If all the above tests come normal, then nothing to worry, but do not ignore it.

• Do regular exercise and get a liver function test and USG (ultrasound sonography) done for every six months.

• It does not cause any problems in 9 out of 10 patients, but in 1 out of 10 it can develop into cirrhosis and liver failure. So, repeat the tests for every six months as I mentioned.

• I suggest you to take capsule Evion (vitamin E) 400 units once daily. Consult your doctor, discuss with him or her and take the medicine with their consent.

• At present blood tests includes liver function test (LFT), HBsAg and HCV antibody. Then, for every six months liver function test and ultrasonography should be done.

• You need to continue capsule Evion (vitamin E) for two months. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and take the medicine with their consent.

• It is nothing but vitamin E, which is helpful in NAFLD.
