What Is The Treatment For Elevated LD Levels?

I am trying to determine if I have a potentially serious issue or this is nothing to worry about. I have had elevated LD levels. Each time I get it tested the levels have gone up. I had an abdominal ultrasound which stated: mildly echogenic liver which can be seen in the setting of fatty infiltration. Also it stated that the pancreas is not well visualized - why would that be? Thank you.

Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. On ultrasound pancreas cannot be visualized on occasions as it is always behind the stomach, duodenum. So proper visualization is difficult and CT may be necessary for evaluating it.
2. Elevated LDL levels can be reduced either by medication or life style changes or both.
3. Life style modifications include weight reduction, moderate exercises and having diet containing moderate amounts of good fat. Avoid alcohol and smoking.
4. Fatty infiltration of liver is due to increased lipid profile. It is reversible and will recover with improved lipid profile.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
