Patient's question:
I used to have fatty liver all the time, and I am also quite overweight. I also dislike drinking alcohol. However, the fatty liver wasn't too serious, and when I went for a follow-up check-up, the doctor said there was nothing wrong. Recently, I feel a bit uncomfortable in my liver area, and I've also lost a little weight.Doctor's answer:
In the early stages of cirrhosis, fatigue and weakness often reappear. Patients with mild fatigue may experience only slight weakness, while severe cases show general debilitation, even leading to bedriddenness. The reasons may include reduced appetite during liver disease, insufficient calorie intake; metabolic disorders of sugar, protein, and fat during liver disease, leading to disrupted energy supply; and other factors. At this stage, the condition of cirrhosis is already very apparent, so it is essential to take it seriously in all aspects. At the same time, attention should be paid to balancing rest and activity.
