A reading near 13.5 kPa indicates that the liver has significant scarring, which may impair its function. If untreated, this can progress to cirrhosis, a more advanced stage of liver damage.

Next Steps

Identify the Cause: Determining the underlying cause of liver damage is essential for targeted treatment. Lifestyle Modifications: Avoid alcohol completely. Maintain a healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and lean protein while avoiding processed and fatty foods. Stay physically active to manage weight and improve overall health.

Health Tips

It’s important to consult a gastroenterologist or hepatologist for a detailed evaluation of her liver health.
