I am currently resident in UK and my brother is living in Pakistan. He is suffering from severe jaundice for over a month now.He has lost 7 Kg weight as well. He did some drug abuse in the past like used different brain stimulant drugs without telling any one. Now he is suffering from jaundice and level of bilirubin has increased up to 17 and its increasing day by day.Now it is 20His liver has enlarged by 2 cm as well when doctors in Pakistan did the ultrasound. Doctors also say that he is suffering from hepatitis A. Now I am quite worried because of that.  I just want your suggestion on this condition like if he will recover and what are the risks. What your knowledge and experience suggests you if he will recover or not. Please i really need you help and suggestion regarding that. And if further tests need to be carried out. Anything that could help improve his condition. Any medicine, any diet he should follow.
Hi, There are many causes of liver enlargement and treatment depends on exact cause. If this is caused by diet, obesity and diabetes then dietary and lifestyle changes will be beneficial in every case. Alcohol and viral hepatitis are the most common causes and in this case medical evaluation is required. Also, if there is infectious disease or billiard duct disorders then you need to do some tests to rule out more serious issues which require specific medical treatment. I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time. Wish you a good health. Kindly regards,
