Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Is The Prognosis Of A Patient With Stage 3 Fatty Liver With Weakness, No Apetite?
yes, my dad was diagnosed with stage 3 fatty liver back in April. he is an alcoholic and has just stopped drinking 20 days ago. In the last two weeks his WBC count has gone up to 31,000 and Bilirubin is at 3.7. He is very weak and no appetite, but no fever ????
Since he is an alcoholic , so , fatty liver must be pre-existing.
I am more concerned with his WBC Counts , usually alcoholic hepatits / fatty liver does not present with elevated WBC Count that too 31000!!! It's very high. I advise you for his urgent admission and evaluation. He might be having Alcoholic Pancreatitis. If not treated , this can be fatal. Don't wait. Get him tested and treated in a hospital.
Good Luck.

What Is The Prognosis Of A Patient With Stage 3 Fatty Liver With Weakness, No Apetite?
Dear Friend. I think from your query that , your father has Alcoholic Hepatitis. Alcoholic hepatitis is a next stage of Alcoholic liver disease after Fatty Liver. Since he is an alcoholic , so , fatty liver must be pre-existing. I am more concerned with his WBC Counts , usually alcoholic hepatits / fatty liver does not present with elevated WBC Count that too 31000!!! It s very high. I advise you for his urgent admission and evaluation. He might be having Alcoholic Pancreatitis. If not treated , this can be fatal. Don t wait. Get him tested and treated in a hospital. Good Luck.
