Hello,
If you have fatty liver there are chances you have altered liver function tests, but persistence since 10 years with elevated bilirubin levels, may be you should be evaluated further to know if it's just fatty liver , tour doctor would be telling you what are the ideal tests to rule out anything else ( like alcoholism, thyroid levels, cholesterol levels, sugar levels, viral markers such as Hepatitis B or Hepatitis C, in some cases serum copper levels, serum ceruloplasmin levels (only if suspected), ophthalmologist examination, serum Autoimmune markers and finally liver biopsy if everything else is negative), according to your test reports treatment can be initiated by your consulting doctor, incase you have fatty liver with no further changes in the liver than changing your diet with avoiding fatty food and meat and strict life style and exercising will help. Hope I could help you.
Thank you.
