Patient's question:
I used to be a leader often, and it's unavoidable to eat and drink with them. Moreover, I love red meat. Now, I've gotten fatty liver. Last time, my daughter said that since I love red meat so much, I might get high blood pressure or something, and she kept urging me to see a doctor. Now, I know I have fatty liver.Doctor's answer:
Fatty liver can be a primary disease or a secondary manifestation of certain systemic diseases. It is characterized by: 1. Secondary manifestations in the nervous system, such as alcohol intoxication, including alcohol dependence, pancreatitis, peripheral neuropathy, anemia, glossitis, alcoholic hepatitis, and cirrhosis. 2. Nutrient excess-related fatty liver, often coexisting with other underlying diseases, such as obesity, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, coronary atherosclerotic heart disease (also known as coronary heart disease), gout, and gallstones. 3. Nutrient deficiency-related fatty liver, commonly associated with chronic wasting diseases, such as tuberculosis and ulcerative colitis.
