Patient's question:
I'm only 37 years old this year. When I carefully checked, I found mild fatty liver. Everyone knows this disease is very common, but if it's not treated, the harm is great. When I asked others how I got this disease, they said it's because of overeating and lack of exercise, but it's not comprehensive. I want to understand how this disease is actually formed.Doctor's answer:
The composition of fatty liver is categorized based on different physical conditions and dietary habits, leading to varying pathogenesis of fatty liver. It is generally classified into obesity-related fatty liver, binge-eating-related fatty liver, post-hepatitis fatty liver, alcoholic fatty liver, malnutrition-related fatty liver, drug-induced fatty liver, diabetic fatty liver, early pregnancy-related fatty liver, and cryptogenic fatty liver of unknown cause. Fatty liver is also divided into mild, moderate, and severe stages based on its severity. Mild fatty liver has become a common issue for modern people, and it is the best time to treat fatty liver at this stage.
