Fatty liver refers to an inflammation caused by various reasons leading 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 rightfully been identified as a common cause of hidden cirrhosis. Understanding the causes and treatment approaches for fatty liver, we know that as long as we maintain healthy and regular lifestyle habits, avoid overeating, engage in regular physical activity, and combine medication, fatty liver can be cured. There are several treatment methods for fatty liver, but since the symptoms of patients differ, the diagnostic methods used also vary.
