Patient's question:
Dad felt a bit unwell a few days ago. We told him to go to the hospital, but he refused, saying he would be fine if he just rested. However, after a few days, it seemed his condition had worsened. He ate very little and said he had some pain in the liver area. We were all very upset and quickly took him to the hospital, where he was diagnosed with mild fatty liver.Doctor's answer:
Hello, fatty liver, also known as hepatic steatosis, refers to a condition caused by the excessive accumulation of triglycerides in the liver due to various reasons. Therefore, the dietary treatment principle for mild fatty liver patients is to control total energy intake, supply high protein, consume low fat, and moderate the intake of cholesterol and carbohydrates. Whether it is for high-risk populations to prevent fatty liver or for patients who have already developed fatty liver during the recovery process, it is important to pay attention to emotional regulation, treating both the mind and body, and always maintain a "calm and composed" mindset. In addition to timely treatment, fatty liver patients need to pay attention to maintaining proper dietary habits in daily life to digest nutrients effectively. It is hoped that the above answer can assist you.
