LKM1 antibodies are usually related to autoimmune liver conditions, but a value of 1 is typically not significant. Follow up is only needed if liver enzymes or symptoms suggest issues. Please get a liver function test done and repeat the LKM1 antibody test only if you have symptoms

Hello doctor I am Ravi age 25. I have a big problem with weight gain and even after following a weight gain diet and gym my weight remains constant at 52 kg. A few days ago I was drinking alcohol regularly and after that I developed pain below the chest, weight loss, loss of appetite, malaise, shortness of breath, depression, and ringworm on legs and hands. The doctor checked my blood report and chest X ray but was unable to diagnose. Please help me?

Question

Hi Doctor. I am a 41 year old male. My abdominal ultrasound report shows that the liver is average in size, measuring about 16.1 cm in the right midclavicular line with a smooth outline. It has normal homogeneous echogenicity with smooth echotexture. There is an ill defined heterogeneous lesion in segment IVb V measuring about 1.7 by 2.4 cm with minimal surrounding vascularity. The portal vein is average in calibre with normal colour flow. Can you explain the cause and how dangerous this condition is.
