Patient's question:
Can fatty liver disease relapse after being cured? My uncle was diagnosed with fatty liver disease a few weeks ago, which was caused by frequent alcohol consumption. He received treatment at the hospital and has now recovered. He is currently adjusting his diet for further care. I want to ask if this condition can frequently relapse after being cured. Does anyone know?Doctor's answer:
Improper treatment of hepatitis can lead to secondary neuron steatosis in the later stages. This is because during the acute phase of hepatitis, excessive emphasis on bed rest and overconsumption of carbohydrates can cause nutritional excess, which then develops into fatty liver. Therefore, people should pay attention to preventing the recurrence of hepatitis. If one contracts hepatitis, comprehensive treatment should be carried out under the guidance of a specialist to prevent one-sided emphasis on nutrition, which may lead to fatty liver. In addition to symptomatic treatment, patients with fatty liver need to maintain proper dietary habits in daily life to ensure adequate nutrition for the body!
