Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have gone through your reports (attachment removed to protect patient identity) and your complaints. It seems that you are suffering from non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. It is accumulation of fat within liver cells which is linked to being obese or overweight. Having fat in liver is normal, but more than 5 to 10 percent fat is called fatty liver disease. SGOT (serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase) and SGPT (serum glutamic-pyruvic transaminase) are raised in this condition. Your lipids are also deranged. You need to decrease your weight, follow diet modification and regular exercise. I suggest you to take tablet Atorvastatin 10 mg (atrovastatin calcium trihydrate) once daily. Follow regular monitoring of blood sugar and reporting. If you maintain the above instructions then it can be reversed. Report back to me with the progress after 15 days.I hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards.
