Hi XXXXXX,
Welcome to XXXXXXX forum.
With the available described details, there appears to be possibility of alcohol induced liver damage.
Persistent alcohol intake causes liver damage in four stages:
1) Fatty Liver
2) Alcoholic hepatitis
3) Cirrhosis
4) Hepatocellular carcinoma
First two stages are reversible with stoppage of alcohol while third and fourth stages are irreversible in nature.
Presence of elevated liver enzymes with fatty liver in ultrasound imaging denotes stage 1 liver damage and you must stop alcohol for recovery.
You should consult with XXXXXXX medicine specialist/ gastroenterologist and should go for thorough check up.
You should also consult in deaddiction center if you are not able to leave alcohol by your will power.
As you are also diabetic, alcohol quitting is must and alcohol and diabetes both may cause liver damage in future.
Meanwhile, you should take ursodeoxycholic acid, vitamin E and statins for relief of your symptoms.
Take low fat diet.
Hope that helps.
Let me know your other query.
Take care,
Dr. Mayank Bhargava
