Brief Answer:
Fatty liver is a reversible condition.
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX
Fatty liver is a very common disease among young adults due to changing life style.
You also have mildly raised total bilirubin level.
Most commonly fatty liver is due to obesity and sedentary life.
You need few other investigations like routine hemogram,Random blood sugar(RBS),Lipid profile.
Fatty liver is a reversible condition and it can be reversed by diet and life style changes.
In such condition,I suggest tablet ursodeoxycholic acid 300 mg twice daily for three months to my patients.
You may need to take some other medicines after full investigations.
It may take 3-4 months to reverse the findings.
You should avoid saturated fat.
Cook food in olive or canola oil.
You should also avoid fried and junk food.
Take lot of fruits and vegetables.You should also increase your physical activity in the form of walking and exercise.
Get well soon.
Hope I have answered your question.
Further queries are most welcome.
