Patient's question:
A friend's mother has developed fatty liver disease. I've never heard of this condition before, and I've searched online for a lot of information, but it hasn't provided a clear answer about the disease. So, I thought I'd check here to see what fatty liver disease is and what symptoms it might present.Doctor's answer:
For patients with fatty liver, the most important thing is to abstain from alcohol, and diet also needs to be controlled. Avoid eating too much fat and greasy food to prevent excessive fat production. At the same time, you can appropriately increase the intake of high-protein, low-fat foods such as skim milk, egg whites, fish, and shrimp to promote the regeneration and recovery of liver cells. Fatty liver refers to an inflammation caused by various reasons that leads to excessive fat accumulation in liver cells. Fatty liver disease is a serious threat to the health of Chinese people, ranking third in liver diseases after viral hepatitis, and has rightfully become a common cause of hidden cirrhosis.
