Patient's question:
I recently heard from a colleague that his classmate has developed fatty liver due to long-term alcohol consumption. It's currently moderate, which is a bit serious. Our lifestyles are quite similar, and I feel quite upset about it. Could you tell me what are the symptoms of moderate fatty liver?Doctor's answer:
Moderate to severe fatty liver disease often presents with symptoms such as abdominal pain, fatigue, severe right upper abdominal pain or tenderness, fever, and leukocytosis. If left untreated for a long time, fat particles may enter the bloodstream due to the rupture of fat droplets, leading to sudden death or venous hypertension and bile stasis in the brain and lungs. Severe fatty liver disease requires not only medication but also dietary and activity management, along with the use of liver-protecting and lipid-lowering drugs. In addition to symptomatic treatment for fatty liver, patients need to pay attention to their diet, such as eating a balanced diet and maintaining a positive mood. At the same time, patients should also choose a professional hospital for diagnosis to achieve better treatment outcomes.
