Patient's question:
I have been diagnosed with fatty liver for a month and am currently taking medication for treatment. It is often said that it is difficult to self-heal from hepatitis B and C. I want to know if fatty liver can self-heal?Doctor's answer:
Fatty liver refers to an inflammation caused by various reasons leading to excessive fat accumulation within liver cells. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a serious threat to the health of Chinese people, ranking as the third most prevalent liver disease after viral hepatitis, and has rightfully been identified as a common cause of hidden cirrhosis. Fatty liver is a common clinical diagnosis phenomenon, not a disease in itself. Identify the cause and take targeted measures. Heavy and long-term drinkers should abstain from alcohol. Those with overnutrition and obesity should strictly control their diet to restore physical health. Diabetic patients with fatty liver should actively and effectively control their blood sugar.
