Patient's question:
People say that those who are overweight and dislike drinking beer are prone to fatty liver disease. My family has always suggested that I diet or quit drinking, but I haven't listened. Recently, I went to the hospital for a health check-up, and the doctor said I have fatty liver disease. However, I don't want to treat it yet, and I haven't taken any medication.Doctor's answer:
Fatty liver is due to the liver function experiencing problems again. The gallbladder is together, and bile is solely responsible for absorbing fat. However, when the amount of fat consumed is lower than the maximum absorption capacity of bile, fat will accumulate in the liver. Factors that may cause this change include excessive intake of fatty foods or problems with the liver and gallbladder themselves. For example, long-term alcoholism can make the liver too exhausted, reducing its ability to absorb fat, which is why many cases of alcoholic liver disease turn into fatty liver disease. You must seek treatment, otherwise the consequences will be very serious.
