Patient's question:
The unit carefully checked, and the careful check revealed fatty liver. Therefore, in addition to taking medication, I am also paying close attention to my diet, because the doctor said that if I continue to drink beer, it will become more severe. In addition, the abdominal pain will also worsen, and there may be a need for surgery. What should be paid attention to in the diet for fatty liver?Doctor's answer:
Fatty liver is a common clinical diagnosis phenomenon, not a disease of reading difficulty. There are several causes of fatty liver, and its clinical manifestations range from asymptomatic in mild cases to severe conditions with aggressive symptoms, primarily liver damage. Proper diet is essential for managing fatty liver, with five key points to note: strictly limit alcohol intake but do not completely avoid meat; consume two liang of grains per meal, avoiding a "slop bucket" diet; include high-protein foods (one liang of lean meat, one egg, and two liang of tofu); follow a balanced diet with both coarse and fine grains, avoiding excessive sweetness or saltiness; and consume 500 grams of vegetables and fruits daily (preferably weakly alkaline). In addition to symptomatic treatment for fatty liver, patients should also pay attention to nursing care, such as maintaining a proper diet and keeping a positive mood. Meanwhile, patients should choose a top-tier hospital () for diagnosis to ensure effective treatment.
