Hello, My Mother Has Had Fatty Liver Disease For Several

Posted on Mon, 16 Nov 2020

Question: Hello, My mother has had fatty liver disease for several years and every year she takes the appropriate treatment and there is no problem, but from several months she contracted Covid-19 and recovered, and currently a recurrence of symptoms appeared in the liver, we did tests and these are the results, the doctor told us that these results may be due to hepatitis, we did tests but there was no hepatit A, B or C. The doctor told us that these complications may occur as a result of fatty liver disease and gave her medicines. What should we do as the rates are too high from the normal levels? Is there anything dangerous? Should certain instructions be followed? Can she completley cure? The results; Alt 119 Ast 65 Bilirubin 20 Colestrol 7,12 Ferritin 687 Thank you very much.

Hello and thank you for choosing "Ask a Doctor" service for your query my dear,
Have seen the details of your mother and I appreciate your concerns,
Her liver enzymes are moderately raised and would revert back to normal with proper diet in a month.
i would suggest you to keep a check on her diet.
Some liver friendly foods are-
-Whole grains are very beneficial to consume.These can be in the form of whole wheat bread or cereal, brown rice, whole grain pasta,grains such as whole oats, wild rice, rye, oatmeal and corn are also beneficial and can be taken if suits your food pattern.
-Fruits and vegetables should be a significant part of any diet to help in recovering from a liver disease. They are full of essential nutrients and are easy to digest.
-Healthy proteins in the form of low-fat milk and dairy products along with lean meats, beans, eggs and soy products can also be a part of a healthy liver diet.
-Avoid red meat.
Try to switch over to veg diet.
Take anti oxidants daily.
-Silibinin, also known as silybin, is the major active constituent of silymarin, a standardized extract of the milk thistle seeds, containing a mixture of flavonolignans consisting of silibinin, isosilibinin.It should be taken two times a day.Its a very potent liver rejenuvator and is very effective in maintaining liver healthy.

Ayurvedic tablet Liv 52 should be taken once daily.

Hope i was helpful.
Keep enjoying your life dear.
