- Re-check of medicines and investigation planning
When Should I See a Liver Specialist Urgently?
If you or your family member has any of these symptoms, do not delay:
- Yellow eyes/skin with fever or severe weakness
- Vomiting blood or passing black stool
- Severe abdominal swelling or confusion in a liver patient
- Sudden severe abdominal pain with vomiting
- Rapid weight loss with persistent appetite loss
- Very high blood sugar with drowsiness, vomiting, or dehydration
For these red flags, emergency care is often safer than waiting for routine chamber hours.
What to Expect in Consultation (How Dr. Suman Dey Typically Helps)
Patients often ask: “Doctor, I have many reports—will you check all?”
A structured specialist consultation usually includes:
History Taking
- Your symptoms timeline, food triggers, medicine history
- Past diagnoses: diabetes, hepatitis, gastric issues, blood pressure, etc.
Physical Assessment
- Basic clinical exam relevant to stomach/liver/medicine issues
Report Review & Interpretation
Common reports for these conditions may include:
- CBC, ESR/CRP (depending on complaints)
- LFT (ALT/AST, bilirubin), RBS/FBS, HbA1c
- Lipid profile, creatinine, urine test (for diabetes follow-up)
- Ultrasound whole abdomen
- Stool test if chronic diarrhea/parasite suspicion
- Referral guidance for endoscopy/colonoscopy when indicated
(Only when needed—unnecessary tests are avoidable with proper assessment.)
Treatment Plan + Follow-up
- Medicine plan (dose and timing)
- Food and lifestyle advice tailored to Bangladeshi diet habits
- A clear follow-up date (especially for diabetes, fatty liver, chronic symptoms)
Why Many Patients Prefer This Combination Specialist (Medicine + Diabetes + Liver/Gastro)
In Bangladesh, many adult patients face a “triple combination” problem:
- Diabetes
- Fatty liver
- Acidity/indigestion
These conditions often influence each other. For example:
- Poor sugar control can worsen fatty liver risk.
- Unplanned diet changes can affect gastric symptoms.
- Some medicines may irritate the stomach if not used correctly.
Because Dr. Suman Dey’s training includes medicine + diabetology (CCD BIRDEM) + gastroenterology (MD), patients may benefit from one coordinated plan rather than visiting multiple chambers for the same interconnected problem.

- A list of current medicines (or photos of strips)

Simple Patient Education
Fatty Liver: What Patients Often Get Wrong
Many patients hear “fatty liver” and get scared. Mild fatty liver can often improve with:
- Weight management (even 5–7% weight loss helps many)
- Cutting sugary drinks and excess rice-based calories
- Regular walking/exercise
- Better diabetes control (if diabetic)
But fatty liver should not be ignored, especially if:
- LFT remains high repeatedly
- Diabetes and high triglycerides coexist
- Symptoms like fatigue and right-upper abdominal heaviness persist
Diabetes: Why HbA1c Matters
Patients often focus only on fasting sugar, but HbA1c reflects average control over ~3 months. With a proper plan, many people can reduce long-term complications by keeping sugar controlled, following diet advice, and taking medicines correctly.
Acidity/Gastritis: Common Lifestyle Triggers
Acidity may worsen with:
- Irregular meal timing
- Tea/coffee on empty stomach
- Very spicy/oily foods late at night
- Smoking, stress, and low sleep
A doctor can help identify whether it’s simple acidity or needs deeper evaluation (like ulcer, reflux complications, etc.).
FAQs
What kind of problems does a gastro-liver specialist treat?
A gastro-liver specialist typically evaluates and manages stomach and digestive problems (like acidity, gastritis, abdominal pain, bloating, constipation/diarrhea) and liver-related issues (like fatty liver, jaundice, hepatitis, abnormal liver tests), along with related metabolic concerns that often overlap with digestion and liver health.
I have fatty liver on ultrasound—should I be worried?
Fatty liver is common, and many cases improve with structured lifestyle + medical guidance. The key is not to ignore it, especially if you have diabetes, high triglycerides, obesity, or repeatedly abnormal liver enzymes. A specialist can help you understand severity, rule out red flags, and plan follow-up tests safely.
Which tests are most useful before seeing a liver or gastro doctor?
It depends on symptoms, but patients often bring:
- LFT (ALT/SGPT, AST, bilirubin)
- Ultrasound whole abdomen
- CBC
- If diabetic: FBS/RBS + HbA1c + lipid profile
- Any previous prescriptions and reports
A doctor may advise additional tests only after history and examination—so you don’t waste money on unnecessary investigations.
My SGPT/ALT is high—does that always mean serious liver disease?
Not always. ALT/SGPT can rise due to fatty liver, viral hepatitis, certain medicines/supplements, alcohol, obesity, or infections. The important part is the pattern, trend over time, and your risk factors (like diabetes or hepatitis exposure). A specialist visit helps interpret your results correctly and decide whether you need monitoring, lifestyle change, or further evaluation.
When do acidity and gas become a reason to see a gastroenterology specialist?
Consider specialist evaluation when acidity/gas is:
- Happening most days for weeks
- Causing sleep disturbance or repeated vomiting
- Associated with weight loss, appetite loss, black stool, blood vomiting
- Not improving despite correct timing of medicines and food habits
These signs can suggest reflux complications, ulcer risk, or another digestive condition needing proper assessment.
Can diabetes make liver and stomach problems worse?
Yes—diabetes often overlaps with fatty liver and reflux/indigestion. High sugar can worsen metabolic stress, contribute to fatty liver risk, and affect gut motility in some people. A combined approach (medicine + diabetology + gastro/liver focus) helps many patients get a more coordinated, practical plan.
Do I need hepatitis B or C testing if I feel normal?
Sometimes, yes—because viral hepatitis can stay silent for years. Testing may be advised if you have:
- Abnormal LFT
- Family history of hepatitis
- Past blood transfusion, dialysis, unsafe injections, or high-risk exposure
- Planned pregnancy in family (screening guidance is important)
A doctor decides what’s appropriate based on your history, symptoms, and reports.
Should I stop medicines if my liver tests are abnormal?
Don’t stop medicines suddenly without medical advice. Some medicines are essential (like diabetes or blood pressure medications). A specialist can identify whether any drug/supplement might be affecting the liver and can adjust your plan safely, instead of stopping everything and risking complications.
How often should I follow up for diabetes or fatty liver?
Follow-up depends on your condition and test results. Common patterns include:
- Diabetes: follow-up based on sugar readings and HbA1c cycles
- Fatty liver/abnormal LFT: follow-up based on severity, symptoms, and improvement trend
Your doctor will set a timeline so you know exactly when to recheck reports and when lifestyle steps are working.
What should I bring to my first appointment to save time and get a clearer plan?
Bring these to make your consultation more effective:
- All previous reports and prescriptions
- A list/photos of medicines (including vitamins/herbals)
- Symptom notes: when it started, what triggers it, what relieves it
- If diabetic: recent home sugar readings (if available)
This helps the doctor quickly understand your baseline and avoid repeating tests.
