Patient's question:
A while ago, I went back to my hometown. It was said that an distant uncle there had liver cancer. My parents said that this uncle had initially only had fatty liver disease, but he didn't pay attention, and it had progressed to cirrhosis, which is now getting worse and has turned into liver cancer. They reminded me to take care of my health while being away from home.Doctor's answer:
Fat liver has some symptoms, and the specific manifestations vary depending on the severity of the disease. Among them, the symptoms of moderate fat liver are as follows: Mild to moderate fat liver often shows no symptoms, or occasionally discomfort in the liver area, with only mild abnormalities in liver function, making it difficult to attract people's attention and leading to neglect of treatment. Moderate to severe fat liver often presents symptoms such as abdominal pain, fatigue, severe pain or tenderness in the upper right abdomen, fever, and leukocytosis. The symptoms of fat liver are not as obvious as other diseases, so we should pay more attention in our daily lives. It is best to have a health check-up at the hospital every once in a while to achieve early detection.
