Patient's question:
Health check revealed fatty liver. I'd like to ask, what are the treatment methods for fatty liver, especially I want to know the treatment methods for severe fatty liver.Doctor's answer:
The treatment of severe fatty liver involves multiple aspects. The primary approach remains the removal of the underlying cause and the treatment of the primary disease. Comprehensive evaluation and treatment should be implemented based on the specific condition of the patient to be effective. The condition of the organs may still be reversible. However, if left unchecked, once it progresses to liver cirrhosis, even active treatment may not restore the liver to normal. Currently, there are no effective Western medications for the comprehensive prevention and treatment of fatty liver. Patients are often prescribed lipid-lowering drugs, cholesterol-lowering drugs, or antioxidants, among others. Most of these drugs require further confirmation of their efficacy and safety. If such medications are taken improperly, they may instead harm the liver.
