Features: Fatty liver refers to a pathological condition characterized by the accumulation of lipids in the liver. It can be categorized into three major types: simple fatty liver, alcoholic hepatitis (which is further divided into non-alcoholic fatty liver and alcoholic fatty liver), and liver fibrosis. Statistics show that the detection rate of fatty liver in the general population of mainland China is approximately 10%, while the detection rate in Taiwan is as high as 25%. Based on this calculation, it is estimated that about 134 million people in China suffer from fatty liver. To gain a comprehensive understanding of this disease and to popularize basic knowledge about fatty liver, we strive to achieve active prevention, early diagnosis, and timely treatment of fatty liver. The authors have organized relevant professors and experts to compile the book "Modern Diagnosis and Treatment of Fatty Liver." It is available for gastroenterologists to read.
