[|Human|] I had an ultra sound and it says that my liver is 18 cm and that I have hepatic steatosis. My cholesterol is great, no high blood pressure 120/64 but I weigh 295, 58 years old and I m 5 feet 4 inches tall. I drink white wine but intermittently.I can drink 3 servings at a day perhaps once a week.My question is that I know that I must loose weight but do I need to cut out wine all together? whta should I do to get well?
[|AI|]  Hi. Thanks for posting query at Chat Doctor. First, also have Liver Function Test and values maybe posted here or discussed with treating physician. Usually ALT or AST values higher than "two times the upper normal limit", is considered abnormal (in some countries, ALT or AST values of more than 100 are considered abnormal). Value of AST or ALT greater than 85 or above maybe investigated further. Viral hepatitis (HAD, HBV, HCV) are common cause of elevated liver enzymes. Advice :- abstinence from "Alcohol" particularly if Liver function test reveal abnormal values - LOW fat diet should be followed, AVOID junk food and beverages-decreased oil consumption (oily food)- NO red meat-green vegetables should be ingested daily-use lemon juice (lemonade) once in a day-reduce weight if overweight/obese any further questions are welcomed. Hope to answer your concern. Wish you good health. Regards, Chat Doctor.
