Diagnosed as grade 2 fatty liver. High bilirubin level in blood. Suggest some precaution to be taken
Patient: Hi, I an 29 years male and weigh 87.5 kgs. I have been diagnosed with a Grade 2 Fatty Liver , while the liver is in the normal shape in the ultrasound . Also, my Bilirubin level (Indirect) is high to 2.1. However, other parameters are in the normal range. My alchohol intake has been once a week on average. Please advise some strict do s and dont s so that fatty liver can be reversed and also how much time does it take to reverse the liver to its normal self. Doctor: If you indirect bilirubin is high I wouldnt worry much. You might be having a benign condition called Gilbert's syndrome which can cause transient increase of indirect bilirubin with normal other liver function test. What is more concerning is the fatty liver. You need to do the following to prevent further worsening of the fatty liver   1. Loose weight 2. Stop alcohol 3. Does diabetes run in your family ?  - if yes have your sugars checked.  Vitamin E has shown to reduce inflammation in a fatty liver however benefit is not conclusively proven. A good healthy alcohol free lifestyle would reverse the fatty liver in due time...
