Question : Hi can you please analyse these two reports for me and let me know the health of my liver and what does non reactive mean?

Brief Answer:
Apparently normal

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thanks for writing in

The reports are of liver function test and HbsAg and HCV

All your liver functions are normal

HbsAg and HCV are non reactive meaning at the time of the test no antibodies were detected but if you have been exposed to these viruses recently you need to get the test repeated

Hope this helps
Do write back in case of concern

Brief Answer:
Seems you missed to upload

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thanks for your followup

Seems you have missed uploading the scan report

What I gather from the broken medical language mentioned in the query is that you have fatty liver but no gall stones

You need to reduce weight, avoid fatty meals, if consuming alcohol avoid taking it

Need to see the report to mention the prognosis

As mentioned take fat free diet

The pain in right upper quadrant can be attributed to fatty liver though found in some patients only

Hope this clears your doubts

hello doctor. apologies, I have enclosed them now. I would like to know at what grade is it at and how serious is it currently. is it completely reversible. the lab technician mentioned that it is at grade 2 and fat deposited all over liver. what does it mean. Am I in a fan dangerous situation which can't be reversed? I very rarely drink at some parties.maybe 3 times a year maximum I drink that too very less for social purpose.

Brief Answer:
Diffuse fatty liver

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thanks for uploading the reports
I have reviewed the reports, they are suggestive of diffuse fatty liver
I do not think I can grade it without realtime ultrasound, the radiologist who performed the USG would be in a better position

It is completely reversible if you avoid alcohol and change lifestyle
Perform exercise, fat free diet, antioxidants, hepatoprotective molecules like Hepatogard etc

It does not appear to be an irreversible state
Avoid alcohol completely

Hope this clears your doubts
