When someone with liver disease suddenly becomes forgetful, drowsy, irritable, or “not themselves,” families often think it’s weakness, old age, stress, or low sugar.
But in liver disease, these are brain symptoms — not mind symptoms.

This condition is called Hepatic Encephalopathy (HE).
It happens when the liver fails to remove toxins (especially ammonia), which then affect brain function.

Common triggers:

• Constipation
• Infections
• GI bleeding
• High protein load
• Dehydration
• Missed medicines (especially lactulose)
• Certain sedatives or painkillers

Why urgency matters:

HE can progress from mild confusion → severe disorientation → unresponsiveness → coma.
Early treatment with lactulose, rifaximin, electrolyte correction, infection control, and stabilization often reverses symptoms completely.

Key takeaway:

If a liver patient becomes confused, sleepy, disoriented, or their personality changes suddenly → it is a medical emergency, not a behavioural issue.

📍 Get immediate evaluation. Early action saves the brain — and the liver.

Liver health is not about cutting everything out.
It’s about adding the right things in.

Support your liver’s natural detox system instead of stressing it with extremes. Food can either reduce inflammation… or quietly add to it.

This list is for long-term liver protection, not short-term trends.
Bookmark it. Your future self will thank you.

Most families hesitate when they hear “living donor transplant.”
The biggest fear is always the same: “Will the donor be safe?”

Here’s the truth ⬇️

1. The liver is the only organ that regenerates.

A healthy adult donor can safely give 30–60% of their liver, and the remaining portion grows back to normal size within 6–12 weeks.

2. Donor safety is the FIRST rule — not negotiable.

Before donating, the donor undergoes:
• Cardiac & lung fitness testing
• Detailed liver anatomy scans (CT/MR)
• Blood compatibility checks
• Psychological & social screening
• Liver function and metabolic tests

Only donors who meet strict international safety criteria are approved.

3. Long-term donor outcomes are excellent.

Donors typically return to work in 4–6 weeks, with no long-term dietary or activity restrictions.
Lifelong liver health remains normal in >95% of donors.

4. Why LDLT saves lives

In India, deceased-donor organs are limited.
Waiting can worsen infections, kidney function, muscle loss — and even make transplant impossible.
A living donor often means timely transplant → better survival → better quality of life.

Living donor liver transplant is safe, structured, and scientifically planned, with the donor’s safety being the highest priority at every step.

If your family is exploring transplant, understand the facts — not the fears.

There’s a side of every doctor that the hospital walls never show.
For me, it’s here - among animals, fields, silence and sunrise.
Medicine heals people, but nature heals the healer.
Because health isn’t just a profession. It’s a way of living.

One mindful day at a time.

cirrhosis diagnosis often sounds final, but in reality, many patients live long, stable, meaningful lives with the right care. Vaccinations, nutrition support, and cancer surveillance aren’t “extras” — they arepart of survival and quality of life.

🩺 The goal of cirrhosis care today isn’t just staying alive.
It’s staying functional, independent, and stable for as long as possible.

If your liver is overworked or sluggish, the first signs often appear on your face before your bloodwork ever changes.

☠️ Yellowing = bilirubin buildup
😫 Itchiness = bile salt accumulation
🟠 Hyperpigmentation = oxidative stress
😒 Acne, rashes = detox overload
🕳️ Dark circles = possible congestion
🥱 Dull skin = reduced glutathione levels

The liver filters nearly 2,000 liters of blood per day and manages over 500 vital processes, including hormone balance, fat metabolism, and cellular detox.

✅ Want clearer skin? Start with your liver.
Support it with:
– Leafy greens
– Bitter foods (dandelion, arugula)
– Magnesium
– Milk thistle
– Hydration & sleep

Many people with EPI are treated for “gas”, “IBS”, or “weak digestion” for years — while their body continues to lose weight and nutrients silently. EPI means food is eaten but not absorbed, especially fats. That’s why stools become greasy, bulky, and foul-smelling and why patients feel tired despite eating well.

What’s often overlooked:

Enzymes must be taken with every meal and snack, not just once a day
Dose matters — under-dosing is a common reason symptoms persist
Fat-soluble vitamin deficiencies (A, D, E, K) can cause bone loss, vision issues, and fatigue if not corrected
Treating the underlying pancreatic disease is just as important as enzyme replacement

When managed properly, EPI symptoms improve dramatically and nutrition can be restored.

👉 If weight loss, bloating, or greasy stools are ongoing, don’t guess the dose or self-medicate.

Get a pancreas-focused evaluation.

Returning to AIIMS, Where It All Began

Stepping back into the hallowed halls of AIIMS, New Delhi, for the 40th GI Surgery Alumni meet felt like coming home, a home built on shared sacrifice and relentless dedication.

Behind every 'Doctor Saab' you trust today... there’s a training you never saw, resonates so deeply. It’s the truth of the countless night duties where sleep was a luxury, the festivals spent in wards, and the sheer mental and physical grind that forged us.

I owe everything to my incredible mentors, who were tough because lives were at stake, and to the friends who became family, holding us up when we hit our limit. The Institute didn't ask for brilliance; it asked one thing: Show up. Again and again.

Today, I’m immensely honoured to return as an alumnus and celebrate 40 years of GI Surgery. This isn't just a career; it's a calling shaped by this place. The training was difficult, but the foundation it laid is unshakable.

Cheers to the legacy, the future, and to all my fellow alumni who continue to serve\! 🩺

Not every line on your ultrasound report means trouble — but some deserve a closer look. 🧠🩺

Here’s how to read it like a pro 👇

🔹 Hemangioma — the most common benign liver tumor. It’s just a cluster of blood vessels, usually harmless and often needs no treatment when small and stable.

🔸 Cirrhosis / Nodularity — a red flag. It signals scarring and nodular changes from long-term liver damage. Requires further tests (LFTs, FibroScan, MRI) and specialist follow-up.

💡 Remember: Imaging is only one piece of the puzzle. Reports guide care — your doctor connects the dots with symptoms and labs.

If your report mentions “cirrhosis,” “coarse echotexture,” or “hemangioma,” don’t panic. Ask: “What does this mean for me?”

Speaking to students is always special. They’re unfiltered, curious, and ask the kind of questions adults often hesitate to voice. My session at SAI International School wasn’t just about medicine or technology, it was also about helping young minds understand that health is something they’re building right now, not later.

We spoke about movement, sleep, food, discipline, and also about how AI and robotics are quietly transforming healthcare behind the scenes. What surprised me most was how aware today’s teenagers already are — they think in terms of systems, innovation, and “how can we improve this?”, not just “what do doctors do?”

The future of healthcare won’t be shaped by doctors alone. It will be shaped by problem-solvers across fields who understand the value of good health early in life.

Grateful for the opportunity, the conversations, and the perspective. And to the students — keep moving, keep learning, and take care of the body and mind that’ll carry you into the future. 💙
