What are the causes of fatty liver disease?

Patient's question:

In modern society, due to the decline in living standards and changes in dietary structure, many people lack physical activity while consuming excessive nutrients. This leads to the recurrence of fatty liver. So, what are the causes of fatty liver?

Doctor's answer:

Chronic and excessive alcohol consumption can lead to alcohol poisoning, increasing fat hydrolysis in the liver, disrupting the decomposition and metabolism of fatty acids again, severely interfering with the decomposition and utilization of fat by liver cells, all of which can force the development of fatty liver. Taking certain medications such as growth hormone, corticosteroids, tetracycline, antitumor drugs, carbon tetrachloride, benzene, arsenic, and aluminum can also cause fatty liver. In addition, during the treatment of fatty liver, in addition to medication, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also particularly important. Patients must avoid excessive mental tension and worry to prevent unnecessary interference with the complete recovery of fatty liver.
