Hi,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic,
After going through your history your blood report is showing high Triglyceride level it is desirable to have TG If you have fatty liver treatment depends on cause, Obesity(Over weight), Alcohol use,Hereditary causes.
You should visit a Physician to get properly evaluated for pancreatic issue by serum amylase and Lipase level even Fasting and Postprandial blood sugar .A CT scan of abdomen is useful for pancreatic pathology.
Dietary changes of low fat and low carbohydrate diet and avoidance of alcohol with weight reduction helps to normalize triglyceride level which can be checked after 2-3 months.
If there is no pancreatic issue you can wait for some time before starting fibrate therapy. OBT with UDCA (ursodeoxycholic acid) may be taken to see effect on fatty liver.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
Good Luck.
