Patient's question:
Over the past couple of years, due to my work-related responsibilities, many prominent figures have come to invite me for dinners and drinks. Generally, I have accepted all of these invitations, which has led to me indulging in a lot of food and drink. Recently, I noticed that my complexion has been consistently yellow. After visiting the hospital for a check-up, I found out that I had developed fatty liver disease.Doctor's answer:
Fatty liver refers to an inflammatory condition caused by various factors leading to excessive fat accumulation within liver cells. In a normal liver, fat accounts for 3%-4% of the liver's weight. If the fat content is below 5% of the liver's weight, it is considered fatty liver. In severe cases, the fat content can reach 40%-50%. The lipids in fatty liver are primarily triglycerides. It is recommended to change your lifestyle and dietary habits, increase physical activity, and base your diet on light and simple foods. Losing weight is the most effective way to treat fatty liver. In addition to medication for treating fatty liver, patients also need to pay attention to their diet, such as eating properly and maintaining a positive mood. At the same time, patients should also pay attention to choosing a top-tier hospital for treatment to achieve better therapeutic effects.
