Hello and welcome to HCM,
The liver biopsy report that you have posted shows features of non-alcoholic steato-hepatitis (NASH).
The details mentioned in the report- lympho-plasmacytic infiltration of liver parenchyma, ballooning hepatocytes, fibrosis are features seen in NASH.
NASH is liver inflammation caused by non-alcoholic causes.
Alcohol is the most common cause of liver inflammation , however, there are some non-alcoholic causes which can also cause these similar changes.
Diabetes mellitus is one of the common cause of NASH.
NASH causes progressive inflammation of the liver parenchyma thus causing clinical symptoms of hepatitis.
You need to consult your physician or gastroenterologist for management of the condition.
Thanks and take care
