You likely have fatty liver disease. Further tests like ANA and Western blot are suggested to determine if it's related to autoimmune disease or infection. A liver function test is also recommended.

Health QA English — Medical Question Answering Dataset

Dataset Description

A curated dataset of 13,812 medical question-answer pairs sourced from real patient-doctor consultations. Each entry contains a patient's clinical scenario, a focused medical question, and a doctor's professional response, enriched with named medical entities (symptoms, diseases, medications, tests).

Key Features

13,812 high-quality entries across 15 medical specialties
Structured schema: question (concise reinforcement query) + context_question (patient clinical scenario) + answer (doctor response)
Rich entity annotations: age, symptoms, diseases, medications, tests, results
Urgency classification: High / Moyen (Medium) / Faible (Low)
Professionally cleaned: greetings, filler phrases, platform noise, and duplicates removed
Quality score: 95.5/100

Data Cleaning Pipeline

The dataset underwent extensive cleaning:

Greeting removal: "Hello doctor,", "Hi doctor," etc. stripped from patient queries
Filler removal: "Thank you", "Please help", "Kindly advise" removed from endings
Platform noise: iCliniq boilerplate removed from doctor answers
HTML entity decoding: ' → ', etc.
Deduplication: 5,060 duplicate entries removed
Q/CQ alignment: Ensured question and context are distinct and non-redundant
Entity validation: Verified entity annotations across all entries

Intended Use

Medical QA fine-tuning: Train language models for clinical question answering
Medical NER: Use entity annotations for named entity recognition
Triage systems: Train urgency classification models
Medical chatbots: Build patient-facing health assistants

Limitations

Answers are summaries, not full doctor responses
Dataset is English-only
Some specialties are underrepresented (e.g., Radiodiagnosis: 25 entries)
Not suitable for direct medical advice — intended for research only
