Patient's question:
My dad has always had poor health and a terrible diet. He often eats greasy breakfasts outside, and now he's started acting strangely. Sometimes he gags, and his stomach feels bloated. Could he have developed fatty liver disease?Doctor's answer:
Diseases, excessive dieting are also risk factors for fatty liver. Below, we will provide detailed information about dieting. If someone who is not considered overweight but has been dieting for a long time says, "I have fatty liver," most people would probably find this quite unbelievable. Because when one mentions "fatty liver," it naturally brings to mind obesity. However, experts tell us that this view is not comprehensive. Sometimes, excessive dieting can also lead to fatty liver. According to reports, the normal liver contains about 2% to 4% fat by weight. When fat accumulation in the liver drops below 5% of its total weight, it is considered fatty liver.
