Patient's question:
A 28-year-old male. Yesterday, I had a health check-up and blood tests for my liver function. The results showed Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) at 92.45 U/L, Glutamine Transferase (GGT) at 89.44 U/L, and Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) within normal limits. The doctor mentioned I might have fatty liver disease. This morning, I had a multi-directional liver ultrasound, which confirmed moderate fatty liver. I am currently unsure about what medication to take. The doctor told me to buy some liver-protective supplements. I don’t know which liver-protective supplements are good and safe for me to take, or if I even need to take any. I am quite overweight and currently exercise by running every morning.Doctor's answer:
Any liver-protecting medication is not as important as paying attention to a regular lifestyle. You may not need to take medication at all; there is no perfect drug that can cure fatty liver. Lifestyle attention is the first priority, followed by adequate physical activity, such as long-term aerobic exercise. Third, quit smoking and drinking, and avoid medications that affect liver function. Second, control your diet, eat more fruits and vegetables, and reduce meat consumption. Fatty liver has a significant impact on patients. Once you notice your symptoms, seek medical attention promptly, and pay close attention to self-care, eating more fruits and vegetables, and avoiding foods. It is hoped that fatty liver patients can receive professional treatment.
