Patient's question:
My husband has been feeling unwell recently. After a thorough examination at the hospital, he was diagnosed with mild fatty liver. What can we do about it? What should I pay attention to in my daily life? Or, what should I pay attention to in my diet? What kind of care is needed?Doctor's answer:
Fatty liver refers to an inflammation caused by various reasons that leads to excessive fat accumulation within liver cells. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a serious threat to the health of Chinese people, ranking as the third most common liver disease after viral hepatitis, and has rightly been identified as a common cause of hidden cirrhosis. In addition to timely treatment for fatty liver, patients should maintain a positive attitude to face the disease. Only in this way can they reduce their immunity and the belief in combating the disease. At the same time, they should pay great attention to their dietary care, primarily based on light foods, and avoid stimulating and cold foods, believing that this will surely drive away fatty liver.
