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.
I had a CT scan which showed a fatty liver. I am about 45 pounds over weight and working to lose weight. For seversl months, since about 4/12, my white count has been elevated on repeat blood tests. I have also had an elevated temperature on a regular basis along with extreme fatigue. Could I have Hep C?
In hepatitis c infection if it is in chronic stage then symptoms like anorexia, abdominal pain right side, fever, jaundice can occur....But HBSag carrier patient can be totally asymptomatic..... So to rule out viral hepatitis viral markers done....
Here you should also rule out hyperthyroid by thyroid profile as you have fever with fatigue.. .
You have not mentioned value of wbc count...It could be increased by repeated infection also...
Take care ...
