I'm really concerned because I've been dealing with some serious liver issues after starting my TB treatment. It all began with a fever right from the first dose, and even though I stopped the medication 12 days ago, the fever hasn't gone away. I'm worried about hepatotoxicity and what this means for my treatment. Do I really need to stop the TB meds completely? And if my liver's already damaged, how do I go about healing it? Any advice would be really appreciated.

View allI'm really worried about my friend, she's been diagnosed with a liver hemangioma and after getting some blood tests and a CT scan, it turns out there's a small tumor on her liver. She's also dealing with low blood sugar levels. Could you offer any advice or information on what steps we should take next?
f liver cancer is found early, is small and it has not spread, you may be able to have surgery to remove it. Surgery will remove part or all of your liver. If it's all removed you will need a liver transplant to replace your liver with a donated one.Some liver tumors make hormones that act on organs other than the liver which causes hypoglycaemia

I've been on this liver medication routine for a bit now and I'm just a bit worried. My sgpt was 125 and my sgot 85 when I got tested. I've been told to take golbi 300mg twice daily and evion 400mg once a day for six months. Now that I've hit the two-month mark, I'm wondering if it's really okay to keep taking evion for this long. Are there any side effects I should be aware of?
Yes you can take it no problem.

I'm really concerned because my father's HSB Ag test came back positive, and we just got his ultrasound results. Most of the findings look okay, but it mentioned that the echotexture of his liver is slightly altered. Should we be worried about that? Is this something serious or just a minor issue?
your father's situation: _HSbAg positive_: Indicates hepatitis B infection. _Ultrasound results_: 1. _Echotexture alteration_: Suggests mild liver inflammation or fibrosis, common in hepatitis B patients. 2. _Other results okay_: Indicates no significant liver damage or cirrhosis. _Next steps_: 1. _Consult a hepatologist_: Discuss the ultrasound results and determine the best course of action. 2. _Liver function tests (LFTs)_: Regularly monitor LFTs to track liver health. 3. _Viral load test_: Measure the hepatitis B virus's presence in the blood. 4. _Consider antiviral treatment_: If recommended by the hepatologist, antiviral medication can help manage the infection.
