Patient's question:
In the morning, the doctor said I have fatty liver, but I'm not fat, how is that possible? Could you please explain what's going on?Doctor's answer:
Hello! It is best not to eat anything or engage in strenuous exercise in the morning during the check-up, as these can affect the accuracy of the results, and smoking is also related. Fatty liver is a common clinical diagnostic phenomenon, not a disease of the liver. Clinical manifestations range from asymptomatic in mild cases to severe conditions. Generally, fatty liver is a reversible disease, and early diagnosis and timely treatment can often restore normal liver function.The causes of fatty liver include: long-term alcohol consumption leading to alcohol poisoning; long-term intake of a high-fat diet or excessive consumption of sugar, starches, and other carbohydrates, resulting in excessive fat production in the liver; obesity; hepatitis; diabetes; and acute or chronic liver damage caused by certain medications.
