Patient's question:
I had the habit of drinking when I was young, but I didn't drink a lot. However, when I went to the hospital for a health check-up last week, the doctor said I had mild fatty liver. I don't really believe it. What are the symptoms of fatty liver?Doctor's answer:
Symptoms of Alcoholic Fatty Liver DiseaseAlcoholic fatty hepatitis is often preceded by a history of heavy drinking in a short period. Patients exhibit significant weight loss, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, general fatigue, and symptoms such as abdominal pain and nausea/vomiting. Statistics show that 77% of patients experience loss of appetite again, 55% have nausea and vomiting, 46% have abdominal pain, and 43% experience weight loss again. Jaundice, liver enlargement, and tenderness are common signs in alcoholic hepatitis patients. 81% of patients have liver enlargement, and 77% have jaundice.

Alcoholic fatty liver is often linked to beer consumption as the cause. In addition to treating fatty liver, it is recommended that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a cheerful mood at all times to enhance their physical condition and slow down the recovery process.
