Does high blood lipids cause fatty liver?

Patient's question:

Doctor, my body isn't doing well, and I have high blood lipids. I would like to ask you, can high blood lipids lead to fatty liver disease?

Doctor's answer:

High blood lipids can lead to fatty liver, and in severe cases, it may progress to cirrhosis of the liver, causing severe liver damage. Lipid-lowering treatment is necessary. Oral lipid-lowering drugs include statins and others. Additionally, it is important to control diet, avoiding fried foods, animal (organs), and high-cholesterol seafood. Quitting smoking and alcohol consumption, as well as increasing physical exercise to enhance fat metabolism, are also essential.
