Patient's question:
Mom has recently been feeling stomach pain and went to the hospital for a thorough examination. To her surprise, the stomach doctor said everything was fine, but discovered that Mom had mild fatty liver. After coming back, Mom sighed heavily and said her life was not long. This made us all very worried.Doctor's answer:
First, please don't worry. Fatty liver, like many other diseases, is not harmful to the body in its early stages. However, it is necessary to change your unhealthy lifestyle. Otherwise, fatty liver can also cause very serious harm to the body.1. Lead to and worsen coronary heart disease, high blood pressure, and arteriosclerosis. The relationship between arteriosclerosis and coronary heart disease, high blood pressure is very close. In alcoholic fatty liver patients, the risk of high blood pressure and coronary heart disease increases, which can easily lead to myocardial infarction and sudden death.
2. Cause liver cirrhosis, liver failure, and liver cancer.
3. Promote the formation of atherosclerosis. Fatty liver patients often have hyperlipidemia, and the viscosity of their blood increases. Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) in the blood can easily penetrate the arterial intima and accumulate on the blood vessel wall, ultimately leading to circulatory disorders.
