Pathologist and Microbiologist 's  Response
Hi, thanks for sharing your health concerns with HCM!

If I were the histopathologist for your liver biopsy, I would like to know the problems with you like loss of appetite, jaundice, elevated liver enzymes, indigestion, alcohol intake, blood sugar, cholesterol etc. etc...

However, these features suggest features of alcoholic liver disease with early cirrhotic changes; no score of fibrosis or inflammation given!

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing you good health.
