Frequently Asked Questions
See a liver specialist for persistently abnormal LFTs, fatty liver detected on ultrasound, jaundice, hepatitis B or C diagnosis, family history of liver disease, heavy alcohol intake, unexplained itching, easy bruising, leg or abdominal swelling.
Hepatology is a sub-discipline of gastroenterology focused on the liver. Dr. Sengupta is trained as both a gastroenterologist and hepatologist (DrNB Gastroenterology) and routinely manages liver disease.
Not always. Mild elevations of ALT/AST in a person with fatty liver, mild alcohol intake or a recent viral illness may settle on their own. But persistent elevation for >6 months always needs specialist review.
Early fatty liver, alcoholic hepatitis, hepatitis C and autoimmune hepatitis can show substantial recovery if treated promptly. Established cirrhosis is generally irreversible but its progression and complications can be controlled.
LFT every 3–6 months, FibroScan annually, ultrasound + AFP every 6 months in cirrhosis or hepatitis B/C, plus periodic endoscopy if varices are present.
