Patient's question:
I have had fatty liver for 5 years. Liver function tests revealed an ALT level of 103, and I often experience a dull ache in the right abdomen.Doctor's answer:
Your condition would be best evaluated with another ultrasound examination, as fatty liver disease can also lead to liver function damage. Your current test results and clinical manifestations only suggest liver function impairment, but they cannot yet determine whether other issues have been caused. It is recommended that after the ultrasound examination, if there are no changes, it is still likely that liver function impairment is due to fatty liver disease. In such cases, it is appropriate to use liver-protective medications to reduce liver damage, pay attention to rest, and manage lipid levels appropriately. Avoid using medications that can harm the liver and maintain stable liver function. In addition to symptomatic treatment for liver disease, patients also need to pay attention to dietary aspects, such as maintaining a light diet and engaging in regular outdoor activities. At the same time, patients should also pay attention to seeking medical treatment at a formal hospital.
