What are the main hazards of moderate fatty liver?

Patient's question:

I always feel abdominal pain and fatigue, with severe pain. I initially thought nothing was wrong, assuming a rest would make it better, but the condition didn't improve. However, after a thorough examination at the hospital, it was discovered to be moderate fatty liver disease.

Doctor's answer:

Moderate fatty liver disease can bring some harm to patients.
1. Mild to moderate fatty liver disease often shows no symptoms, or occasionally causes discomfort in the liver area, with only mild abnormalities in liver function. Therefore, it is often overlooked and neglected by people, leading to a lack of attention to treatment. However, over time, year after year, mild fatty liver can develop into moderate or even severe stages, eventually progressing to cirrhosis.
2. Moderate to severe fatty liver disease often presents symptoms such as abdominal pain, fatigue, severe pain or tenderness in the upper right abdomen, fever, and an increase in white blood cells. If fatty liver disease persists 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, lungs, or other blood vessels.
