Health Query

Dear Doctor, My husband is 60 and has been diabetic for some years now. He has been taking Janumet tablets, once after breakfast (850 mg) and Cozar, (losartan potassium) - 100 mg twice daily. Recently he did a Fibroscan and was diagnosed as having Stage 4 liver cirrhosis. Now he has to ALSO take Heptral 500 mg 2 hours before food twice a day as well as the Janumet and Cozar tablets. He does not drink or smoke, and we are VEGETARIANS. Kindly advise (1) What food can he take as there are conflicting views (eg on proteins, grains, yogurt) for diabetics and non-alcoholic fatty liver patients? (2) Can he continue to take the medicines prescribed as we don't want to burden his liver further. Thank you.

Diabetes and cirrhosis liver in same patient is a tricky situation and should be treated by multidiciplinary approach. Best choice in my openion is insulin for controlling diabetes.

Asked for male, 40 years old from Kolkata

I am a 40 years old male, weight: 51 kgs (ht. 5 ft 3 in). I am having high blood pressure since last 03 years. Presently under medication of cilnidipine 10 mg + nebivolol 2.5 mg once daily and my blood pressure is normal. But my serum uric acid often gets elevated for which I take febuxostat 40 mg. My cbc, lipid profile, liver panel, serum na, k values, fasting & pp bs, serum creatinine are all in normal range. Ecg impression is also quite normal, though 2d-echo shows mild left ventricular hypertrophy with diastolic dysfunction. My physician is advising me to switch to losartan 50 mg + cilnidipine 10 mg. What should be the best treatment for diastolic dysfunction/lvh? Should I switch to losartan-cilnidipine combination?

Dr. Jatin Goel87%(35 ratings)

General Physician•Faridabad

Yes you can switch to losartan and cilnidipine.
Losartan has benefits in reducing uric acid also. It will control bp and prevent remodeling of heart too. Adding cildnipine will further help to control bp by dilating blood vessels and reducing work load on heart.
The mainstay of treatment for lvh with diastolic dysfunction is ace/arbs, diuretics, ccbs and beta blockers!
beta blockers may later be added if needed!

Hello, thanks for the query.
I have seen the details mentioned. As regards your blood glucose control, it is excellent. In such a situation I do not see the need for any additional medication like pioglitazone half tablet twice a day. As regards bp and changing to benidipine it may be in your doctors judgment that drug could be more suitable to you. I really have no say on that. However, I do not see any reason for adding pioglitazone with metformin when you have such a good control. Thanks.

I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you.
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (gerd) is a digestive condition that can cause a bubbling feeling in your chest. When you have gerd, stomach acid flows into your esophagus tube. The stomach acid can cause a burning pain in your chest called acid reflux.
