Patient's question:
My friend's grandfather is 70 years old this year. When he was young, my friend's grandfather often took us out to play and bought some small snacks for us to eat. In my impression, my friend's grandfather has always been in good health. However, recently I heard from my friend that he was hospitalized because he got fatty liver. How should fatty liver be treated?Doctor's answer:
Currently, there are some patients with fatty liver disease, the vast majority of whom have a direct relationship with diet. It is mainly due to excessive intake and insufficient consumption and metabolic decomposition. This leads to the accumulation of a large amount of energy, resulting in fat storage in cells. Currently, it is recommended to improve lifestyle, control diet, increase energy intake, increase exercise, and enhance fat decomposition metabolism. If there are no underlying liver diseases, medication is generally not recommended. Enhancing activity is the best method for fatty liver patients. For severe fatty liver patients, it is recommended to seek medical attention immediately and receive treatment based on the doctor's advice. Avoid blindly relying on advertisements for medication to treat the condition, as this may worsen the illness.
