Brief Answer:
Need more tests
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have gone through the reports and description you have provided.
The reports suggest that your brother has inflammation in the liver.
Before Definitely saying that fatty liver is causing the rise in the enzymes. I would suggest that you get the following tests done
Blood tests for hepatitis B and C, ANA test, serum Ceruloplasmin.
In case the above tests are negative and the ultrasound shows fat in the liver then the most likely diagnosis is fatty liver.
Does your brother consume alcohol? If yes the I would advise him to stop.
The treatment would consist of weight loss of atleast 12 Kg over the next 6 to 8 months.
Strict control of diabetes along with vitamins is indicated. If it indeed is fatty liver the the line of management you brother is getting is correct.
Hope this helps
Regards
