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.
Dear sirs, I m 30 Years old non alcoholic. My total cholesterol level is approx 233. and LDL level 154. I had a liver profile test and it indicated that is damaged and US scan report indicate that i have fatty liver. So should i take medicines for high Cholesterol and whether taking such medicines will have a negative impact to my Liver. Thank you very much.
According to my opinion you can try non pharmacology measures for your fatty liver.
-Avoid junk foods
-Do active one hour exercise
-Drink more water
-Take low fatty foods
-Avoid alcohol intake
-Loose weight if obese
Repeat your cholesterol report after one month.If no improvement than low dose Rosuvastatin can be started. Liver enzymes monitoring needed when starting this drug as in few people, it can affect liver on long term use.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
