Hello,
Well, in your case there may be a liver damage and different types of diseases or conditions may cause it. The next step is to look for certain liver damage and most common cause is fatty liver disease. It should be confirmed by ultrasound.
Other causes are viral hepatitis, cirrhosis, medications, alcohol intake or autoimmune diseases.
To verify exact cause, ultrasound, bilirubin levels, and tumor markers should be additionally done. Then appropriate treatment can be started.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ivan R. Rommstein
