Hello, I am having some sort of spam right below my left rib cage. I have been having these for around 4 to 6 weeks. I thought they would have gone away by now but they continue to happen about 15 to 25 times a day. I had blood work done about 3 months ago and my doc said my liver enzymes were elevated and I have fatty liver. I have been thinking about going back to doctor but I hate to spend the money if there is no need. Any information you can give me would be very much appreciated!! Thank you...
Hello! Thanks for putting your query in Chat Doctor. I am a Gastroenterologist. Fatty liver has many cause like Hepatitis B, C, Metabolic disorders, NAFLD, alcohol intake etc. So I will suggest you to visit a Hepatologist for evaluation who will advise tests and then manage accordingly. Meanwhile, there are few medicines which I found very useful in my patients are ursodeoxycholic acid and vitamin E. Do regular exercise and reduce your weight if you are overweight, avoid alcohol if you Chat Doctor. I hope I have answered your query and this will help you. Wish you a good health
