Patient's question:
I am 44 years old this year, married for more than 16 years, and now my child is 15 and already in their first year of high school. However, during the annual health check-up at my workplace this year, I was diagnosed with moderate fatty liver. I am currently unaware of what to do, and my wife is also very worried about it.Doctor's answer:
The treatment of moderate fatty liver first requires actively identifying and removing the underlying cause, which is the fundamental method and prerequisite for treating fatty liver. For the cause, active treatment and suppression should be carried out. For alcoholic fatty liver caused by long-term alcohol abuse, strict abstinence from alcohol is necessary; for obese fatty liver caused by nutritional excess, dietary intake should be strictly controlled to achieve balanced nutrition; for fatty liver caused by malnutrition due to excessive dieting, nutrition should be increased, and attention should be paid to the digestion of protein and vitamins. While removing the cause and treating the disease, it is important to avoid taking liver-damaging medications to prevent increasing the metabolic pressure on liver decomposition. In addition to treating fatty liver, patients are advised to pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a cheerful mood to enhance physical fitness and slow down the recovery process.
