I m worried about my non alcholic fatty liver (5 years) turning into cirrosis. I weigh 235, 5 7 . I m itching all over but may be from eating walnuts.I get some dull stomach pain in liver area usually after eating as well as all around stomach.I hear a liver biopsy is painful.Can other testing help like blood work or echo?

Hi,
You have a history of having fatty live & are presently itching all over. Itching is because of the deposition of bile product (and other substances) under the skin & also in the blood. Itching is a sign of primary Biliary Cirrhosis, Sclerosing Cholangitis & Hepatitis C.
Abdominal pain is most likely due to liver enlargement, liver scarring, liver cancer or end stage liver disease. You should get a liver biopsy done to stay on the safer site. It is important to rule out any malignant disease so that you can be treated in time.
In the meantime, do regular exercises, maintain weight, take boiled food, avoid oily spicy junk food. Stay away from alcohol or addictions if any. Take spasmol, antacid, PPI's Pantoprazole for relieve(always take medications under your treating doctor).
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
