Patient's question:
My aunt really loves to eat. She was already a little chunky kid in elementary school. Due to the reason of moving, we haven't seen each other for two years. Yesterday, I bumped into my aunt, wow. She was even fatter before. I asked my aunt what was wrong. She said nothing much, and her favorite thing is still eating. She said her weight was too high and couldn't go on. Later, her mother took her to the hospital for a check-up, and she was diagnosed with simple fatty liver.Doctor's answer:
Fatty liver has mild clinical manifestations with no symptoms in mild cases, while severe cases can be aggressive. Generally, fatty liver is a reversible disease, and early diagnosis with timely treatment often leads to recovery. The inflammation of the organ only manifests as fatty degeneration of hepatocytes. Based on the extent of lipid degeneration in hepatocytes, fatty liver is classified as diffuse fatty liver, focal fatty liver, and diffuse fatty liver with normal liver islands. In addition to timely treatment for fatty liver, friends with the condition should maintain a positive attitude to face the disease. Only in this way can patients receive timely and appropriate treatment. At the same time, they should pay close attention to their dietary care, primarily focusing on light foods and avoiding stimulating and cold foods, believing that this will surely drive away fatty liver.
