Question 1

alt is 115 and i'm itching. had us ct and mri along with barrage of other blood tests. other bloods normal. scan show fatty liver. itching a symptom?

Accepted Answer

Doubtful: Your AST and ALT can be elevated without causing any symptoms. However, an elevated bilirubin can be associated with itching. Usually, this is associated with jaundice (yellowing of the skin).

Question 2

type 2 fatty liver . lost 5 kgs in one month and itching sensation?

Accepted Answer

: There may be enough fat in your liver to cause inflammation &amp; itching. If this is the case, your liver enzymes and serum direct bilirubin ( conjugated bilirubin fraction) would be elevated. A hepatologist  or gastroenterologist would be best to follow you and advise you.

Question 3

full body itching that goes away for months at a time. liver function test ok apart from 
alt 70 & fatty liver. also get acne like symps. what cause?

Accepted Answer

Pruritis: If your pruritus is otherwise unexplained I suspect that it may be caused by liver disease in view of the presence of elevated ALT and a fatty liver.  I recommend abstinence from alcohol,following a low fat, low starch diet and being evaluated and followed by a hepatologist or gastroenterologist. Pruritis is not common in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease but can occur. Ask the liver specialist

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Sevserelt diseases: Alchol, fat diet, hepatitis, other diseases. Mainly fat diet.

Question 5

is bloating up in the stomach a symptom of fatty liver?

Accepted Answer

Bloating/Fatty liver: The majority of patient with fatty liver disease might not have any symptoms at all.  Few can have some discomfort at the ruq.  Feeling bloatedness is likely related to other causes, such as the type of food you consumed and unlikely to be your fatty liver..

Question 6

does hep b increase chances of having a fatty liver? should i take metformin for diabetes & fatty liver issues? what're symptoms of fatty liver?

Accepted Answer

Answers: Fatty liver and hep. B are two different things. Hepatitis b doesn't increase your chance for fatty liver, but fatty liver promotes destruction of the liver cells and thus makes the destruction done by hepatitis b virus worse. Metformin is ok to take for fatty liver. Signs of fatty liver are minimal if any. Usually we see elevation of liver enzymes and other tests including viral hep ones are -.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

No: Fatty livers generally produce no symptoms unless it is the result of an underlying systemic disease.

Question 8

theres yellow rings around my eyes. i have so symptoms- what could this mean (fatty liver disease,etc.)?

Accepted Answer

A few thoughts: Is it new?  If within the sclera/whites of the eye: could be pinguecula. If within iris: could be sign of Wilson's disease.  Around the eyes could be a sign of swelling (allergy, kidney problems, medication side effects etc.).  Diffuse scleral yellowing or skin yellowing could be several liver abnormalities, pancreatic disease, or blood disorder involving red cells or platelets.

Question 9

am 33. a bit overweight. do no tdrink. have fatty liver. liver enzymes and ultrasound normal but fatty liver.  no symptoms. what re the risk? what do?

Accepted Answer

Steatosis: Risk of fatty liver (or steatosis) progressing to cirrhosis (scarring of the liver) is less than 5%; however with continued fatty liver there is a risk of progression to an entity called "nonalcoholic steatohepatitis" which carries a more significant risk of cirrhosis.

In terms of what to do, weight loss through diet and exercise can reverse some of the fatty change in the liver.

Question 10
