Patient's question:
A 38-year-old man recently had a health check-up and was found to have severe fatty liver and kidney stones (triglycerides were abnormal in blood tests, both kidneys have stones, green bean-sized). How should fatty liver be treated?Doctor's answer:
The most effective way to treat fatty liver is just two words: "starvation." Kidney stones are quite troublesome. Surgery is not worth it, and medication is not very effective. It's okay to temporarily delay treatment. Drink more water and engage in more intense activities. Stones of this size will naturally break off and move upward to be expelled, but the process can be quite painful. There are several methods for treating fatty liver, but since patients have different symptoms, the diagnostic methods used will also vary. Therefore, it's important for patients to get a diagnosis as soon as possible so that treatment can be tailored to their specific condition.
