Patient's question:
I am 40 years old. This year, when I went to the hospital for a physical examination, they told me I have fatty liver. How should it be treated? What should I pay attention to in the future? How does fatty liver develop?Doctor's answer:
Hello, fatty liver mainly has the following causes:1. Alcohol is the main culprit. Long-term drinking leads to alcohol poisoning, which increases fat hydrolysis in the liver. Nearly 60% of chronic alcoholics experience fatty liver again, and 20% to 30% will eventually develop cirrhosis.
2. Long-term consumption of a high-fat diet or excessive intake of sugar, starches, and other carbohydrates leads to excessive fat production in the liver.
3. Obesity and lack of physical activity cause excessive fat accumulation in the liver.
