Patient's question:
A while ago, I went back to my hometown. It was said that one of my distant uncles there had liver cancer. My parents said that this uncle initially only had fatty liver disease, but he didn't pay attention, and it progressed to liver cirrhosis. Now it's getting worse and has turned into liver cancer. They reminded me to take care of my health while traveling outside.Doctor's answer:
Symptoms of fatty liver vary depending on the severity of the condition. The symptoms of mild to moderate fatty liver are as follows: Mild to moderate fatty liver often shows no symptoms, or occasionally discomfort in the liver area, with only mild abnormalities in liver function, making it difficult to attract attention and leading to neglect of treatment. Moderate to severe fatty liver often presents with symptoms such as abdominal pain, fatigue, severe pain or tenderness in the upper right abdomen, fever, and an increase in white blood cells. The symptoms of fatty liver are not as obvious as those of 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.
