I'm dealing with liver cirrhosis and its been really tough these past two months. My doctor mentioned that about 70% of my liver is scarred, but todays report showed the left lobe of my liver is enlarging. Is that a sign of improvement? Also, I need some advice on how to boost my albumin levels since they're currently at 3.6. Can you suggest a diet or any specific foods to help with that?

My father just got his hepatitis B report positive for the first time - he's 59 with HBsAg 300, anti-HBc 11.93, and anti-HBc IgM negative. The test was done before his eye surgery and he has no symptoms right now. Since we can't visit the hospital easily due to COVID, what should be our next steps? When does treatment usually start for cases like his and what are the best treatment options available? We live near Vellore in Tamil Nadu - any guidance would be really helpful

I'm dealing with an alcohol addiction and my liver function is acting up. I'm currently taking Udiliv 150, but sometimes I still end up drinking at night because of the cravings. I'm really concerned if taking Udiliv is safe when I'm also consuming alcohol. What should I do?

Udiliv 150 contains Ursodeoxycholic acid, which is commonly used to improve liver function. However, it is not recommended to consume alcohol while taking Udiliv as alcohol can further damage the liver and reduce the effectiveness of the medication. It is important to avoid alcohol completely to allow Udiliv to work effectively in improving your liver function.
