I'm really concerned because my father's HSB Ag test came back positive, and we just got his ultrasound results. Most of the findings look okay, but it mentioned that the echotexture of his liver is slightly altered. Should we be worried about that? Is this something serious or just a minor issue?

your father's situation:
HSbAg positive: Indicates hepatitis B infection.
Ultrasound results:
- Echotexture alteration: Suggests mild liver inflammation or fibrosis, common in hepatitis B patients.
- Other results okay: Indicates no significant liver damage or cirrhosis.
Next steps:
- Consult a hepatologist: Discuss the ultrasound results and determine the best course of action.
- Liver function tests (LFTs): Regularly monitor LFTs to track liver health.
- Viral load test: Measure the hepatitis B virus's presence in the blood.
- Consider antiviral treatment: If recommended by the hepatologist, antiviral medication can help manage the infection.

View allI'm really concerned about my cousin's dad. He's dealing with mild hepatomegaly and a grade 1 fatty liver, plus he's got total lung damage. The doctors have basically said there's not much hope and mentioned we might only have as little as 15 to 30 days. Is there anything we can do or try? Any advice would be really appreciated.
Grade 1 hepatomegaly isnt life threatening usually. U should elaborate on the lung condition or any other underlying issue that hes facing.

I've been on this liver medication routine for a bit now and I'm just a bit worried. My sgpt was 125 and my sgot 85 when I got tested. I've been told to take golbi 300mg twice daily and evion 400mg once a day for six months. Now that I've hit the two-month mark, I'm wondering if it's really okay to keep taking evion for this long. Are there any side effects I should be aware of?
Yes you can take it no problem.

It sounds like your nephew has liver cysts, which are fluid-filled sacs in the liver. While most liver cysts are harmless and don't require treatment, larger cysts can cause symptoms and may require medical intervention. In Hyderabad, PACE Hospitals and KIMS Hospital are recommended for liver cyst treatment and have specialists in hepatology, including Dr. Ch Madhusudhan, Dr. Suresh Kumar S, and Dr. Prashanth Sangu
