Hi XXXXXXX,

Your history and lab reports suggest it is fatty liver that is causing the problem. In this condition there is a problem with the liver's capability to metabolise fat. As a result it causes excessive deposition of fat in the liver.

So far your liver enzymes are ok. Therefore you need not worry. But you have to adopt stringent measures to reduce the fatty liver. Untreated it can progress to cirrhosis. I would suggest the following

1. Increase your daily protein intake.
2. Drastically reduce the consumption of saturated fats in the diet.
3. Reduce the intake of refined carbohydrates.
4. Regular exercise in the form of cardio that is regular walking for 45 minutes will work wonders.
5. Liver tonics like ornithine compounds along with tricholine citrate and sorbitol for at least 6 months.

Repeat USG of liver and liver function test after 6 months.

I hope this answers all your doubts and serves as a road map to cure.

With regards
