Patient's question:
My husband is 29 years old and has lower back pain, stomach pain, and is unable to have a bowel movement today. He also has nausea. He went to the hospital and was told he has severe fatty liver and acute pancreatitis. How can he be cured? How is acute pancreatitis and severe fatty liver treated?Doctor's answer:
You should primarily focus on treating acute pancreatitis. Acute pancreatitis requires fasting and water restriction. Treatment involves intravenous fluids to replenish digestive fluids and electrolytes. If symptoms are severe, hospitalization may be necessary for gastrointestinal detoxification treatment. Fatty liver can wait until your pancreatitis is resolved before being treated. It can be managed through exercise and a light diet. Fatty liver patients can use dietary therapy as a complementary treatment while understanding symptomatic medication. Proper dietary habits should be maintained in daily life to avoid stimulating foods.
