Patient's question:
My father is in business and often attends banquets. He is very overweight and has been getting fatter over time. A few days ago, I took my father to the hospital for a check-up, just in case he had high blood pressure or something. Yesterday, I looked at the test report and it said he has fatty liver and needs medication to treat it.Doctor's answer:
Fatty liver refers to an inflammation caused by various reasons leading to excessive fat accumulation within liver cells. Under normal circumstances, the liver has the function of compressing, generating, detoxifying, and metabolizing fats in the body. For moderate fatty liver, it is essential to base treatment on active intervention while paying attention to coordinated exercise and medication. It is crucial to reduce calorie intake and strictly prohibit alcohol consumption. Opt for fat-free milk or yogurt. Consume egg yolks daily, eat more vegetables, and adopting a vegetarian diet is a good approach. Persist in cooking porridge by oneself every morning.
