Patient's question:
Doctor, due to the nature of my job, I need to sit for long periods, and the work is quite tiring, so I have less physical activity. However, I am not very overweight. Last week, during a health check-up at my workplace, I found out that I have fatty liver, which is mild. I don't have any adverse symptoms, but I would like to know what are the clinical diagnostic symptoms of mild fatty liver?Doctor's answer:
The symptoms of mild fatty liver are primarily manifested in the following aspects:1. Loss of appetite, fatigue, and a sense of stuffiness, discomfort, or pain in the liver region. This is a common symptom in liver disease patients. If a patient experiences loss of appetite, fatigue, aversion to greasy food, abdominal pain, or dull liver pain again, and these symptoms are not caused by a cold, acute gastritis, or other liver diseases, it should raise suspicion of fatty liver.
2. Nausea and vomiting. Nausea and vomiting are common symptoms in clinical diagnosis. If fatty liver is accompanied by liver function damage, it may also cause symptoms such as nausea, aversion to greasy food, and upper abdominal pain. Nausea is often a precursor to vomiting, but it can also occur alone.
