Patient's question:
Because I am lean in middle age and haven't controlled my diet, preferring a vegetarian diet, avoiding things like braised pork belly, so it's inevitable to have a beer belly. However, recent health check-ups revealed moderate fatty liver disease. I know that most people nowadays have this condition, but I'm unaware of whether it poses any harm.Doctor's answer:
Hello, currently moderate fatty liver is a relatively common type of liver disease. The harm of fatty liver is a problem that modern people pay close attention to but do not fully understand. The harms of moderate fatty liver include: Harm 1: Fatty liver can weaken the human body's autoimmune function. The liver plays the role of compression, detoxification, and decomposition metabolism in the human body, capable of absorbing, decomposing, metabolizing, and completely eliminating various pathogens that enter the body. However, fatty liver can cause fat degeneration or suppuration of liver cells, leading to an increase in the function of the liver's immune system, thereby enhancing the body's ability to resist diseases.
