Patient's question:
Recently, my company organized a health check-up. Today, I received the report saying I have mild fatty liver? What could be the reason? I haven't felt any discomfort either. Should someone with mild fatty liver like me need treatment???Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to follow a low-fat diet, a low-cholesterol diet, and quit smoking and drinking alcohol. Eat more vegetables. If liver function is normal, treatment may not be necessary. If liver function is abnormal, liver-protective treatment should be administered. Pay close attention to avoid overexertion, adhere to a ban on alcohol, and avoid medications harmful to the liver. Drink plenty of water and eat more fruits and vegetables. If you need to take medication, you can consider options like Compound Vitamin B, Vitamin C, and Inosine tablets for liver protection. However, do not overuse medication, as excessive use can cause liver damage. Any medication must be metabolized by the liver, which can either slightly or significantly worsen liver damage. Fatty liver can cause significant harm to patients. Once symptoms are detected, it is important to seek medical attention promptly and focus on self-care, such as eating more fruits and vegetables and avoiding foods. It is hoped that fatty liver patients can receive professional treatment.
