Patient's question:
I have always been the kind of person who is relatively overweight and also has a big appetite, but recently I don't know why I can't eat and always feel nauseous. There's also some pain in my liver area. So I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up. The doctor said I have moderate fatty liver and advised me to start treatment immediately, as it could have a serious impact on my health.Doctor's answer:
The dangers of moderate fatty liver:Danger 1: Fatty liver can weaken the human immune system. The liver plays a role in compression, detoxification, and metabolic decomposition in the human body, absorbing, decomposing, and completely eliminating various pathogens that enter the body. However, fatty liver can cause fat degeneration or suppuration of liver cells, leading to an increase in the function of the liver's immune system, thereby enhancing the body's ability to resist diseases.
Danger 2: It may lead to the occurrence of fatty liver cirrhosis. Cirrhosis is often the final result of various liver diseases. If fat accumulates excessively in the liver for a long time, it can affect the supply of blood and oxygen to the liver and the body's metabolic decomposition, eventually leading to impaired regeneration of liver cells, swelling, deformation, and suppuration, which in turn results in cirrhosis.
