About NON-ALCOHOLIC Fatty Liver. " NASH "
hello. my name is Edsel and I'm a Registered Nurse from the Philippines. I had a chest x-ray last December 16,2007 at the radiologist suggested that I should have ultrasound since my right diaphragm was elevated. Right then and there, I suspected that maybe it has something to do with my liver.
During the ultrasound session, the sonologist told me that I have a fatty liver. She suggested that I should have a liver profile . . . and I did.
My SGPT is elevated beyond normal level. It's 56.4 u/L, my SGOT is almost slightly elevated, 33.7 u/L.
My Bilirubin total is 0.79 mg/dl, indirect is 0.54 mg/dl , and direct is 0.54 mg/dl.
I don't smoke and drink any kind of beer or alcohol. I am also NON-REACTIVE in Hepatitis B or any form of hepatitis. I searched the internet and read about how obese persons are at risk for fatty liver or " NASH ".
My questions are:
1 ) what are the possible complications of non-alcoholic fatty liver?
2 ) what medications should I use?
3 ) can I make my SGPT and SGOT levels go back within normal range?
4 ) is it safe to use glutathione even if I have fatty liver? My glutathione is accepted by the Bureau of Food and Drugs here in the Philippines.
5 ) is there a cure for fatty liver? what's the prognosis?
6 ) what food can and can't eat?
7 ) will my lifespan become shorter? heheheeh!
8 ) is this a common liver condition?
Thank you very much! I hope to get a reply from you soon.
Take care and God Bless!
Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year!
