Patient's question:
Some uncles in neighboring households have developed fatty liver. They need to eat less greasy food and cannot drink beer. How can fatty liver be classified? Is it only based on early, middle, and late stages? Are there any more complex perspectives?Doctor's answer:
Alcohol is the culprit, long-term drinking leads to alcohol poisoning, which increases fat hydrolysis in the liver. Meanwhile, it is appropriate to consume more high-protein, low-fat foods such as skim milk, egg whites, fish, shrimp, etc., to promote liver cell regeneration. Foods high in cholesterol, such as animal organs, egg yolks, crab roe, squid, sardines, brain, fish eggs, etc., must be avoided. There are many treatments for fatty liver, but since the symptoms vary among patients, the treatment methods also differ. Therefore, it is necessary for patients to be diagnosed as soon as possible to prescribe the right treatment.
