So, I've noticed my face is getting darker or turning black, and I'm kind of worried. I've been diagnosed with PBC and have been on medication for liver function and taking vitamin tablets for about a month now. Could this change in my skin color be related to the meds or my liver issue? What might be causing this?

Darkening of your face could be related to changes in liver function due to primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), as it can affect skin pigmentation. Medications or vitamin imbalances might also play a role. I recommend discussing this with your doctor to adjust your treatment if needed.

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'm a bit concerned about understanding the difference between the HBsAg test done by the ELISA method and the ELFA method. My wife is HBsAg positive and she's been getting tested every 12 weeks. Her ELFA test results keep changing. If the percentage in the results is decreasing, does that mean she's getting better? Any insights on this would be really helpful.
Ideally there is no recovery from Hbsag if there is decrease in values that say viral load is decreasing but the disease is still there.

Hey, I'm a bit worried about something. My liver has been described as a "fetty lever" or something like that. I'm not sure what this means, but should I be concerned about it? Is it something that could be harmful to my liver? And if it is, what kind of treatment or steps should I be looking into to address it? I'm just trying to figure out how serious this is. Thanks!
it is due to high cholestrol storage in the liver. avoid high fatty items
