Patient's question:
A colleague has recently experienced poor appetite, fatigue, nausea, dry heaving, weight loss, and a dull pain in the liver area or upper right abdomen. Alanine aminotransferase levels often persistently or intermittently decrease, and there is liver enlargement, which should indicate fatty liver. So, how should one manage a fatty liver diet?Doctor's answer:
It refers to inflammation caused by excessive fat accumulation in liver cells due to various reasons. Fatty liver disease 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 recognized as a common cause of hidden cirrhosis. Fatty liver is a common clinical diagnostic phenomenon, not a disease of reading difficulty. Its clinical manifestations range from asymptomatic in mild cases to severe and aggressive in severe cases. Generally speaking, fatty liver is a reversible disease, but this disease is not easy to relieve. Friends with the disease should maintain a positive mindset and face it with a proactive attitude, as only this can boost their confidence in combating fatty liver and believe that recovery is certain.
