Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for posting your query.
Are you overweight/ obese?
Are you suffering from yellow colored urine & eyes/ loss of appetite/ vomiting/ abdominal pain/ itching?
Is there any family history of diabetes?
Kindly give details of other parameters of liver function test and blood sugar fasting and postprandial.
Your reports appears to be in favor of fatty liver, common in diabetes mellitus.
HbA1c 7.6% suggest uncontrolled blood sugar in last 3 months, you should consult with physician and take proper treatment.
You should also go for ultrasound imaging to rule out gall bladder stones/ CBD stone.
Put your query if you have.
Best regards,
Dr. Mayank Bhargava
