Can moderate fatty liver be left untreated?

Patient's question:

Doctor, I am 28 years old this year, and I work at an IT company. Every day, I sit in front of the computer to develop software, and over time, I have gained weight. Recently, I had a thorough check-up at the hospital and found that I have fatty liver, which is moderate. I would like to ask the doctor if there are any good treatment methods?

Doctor's answer:

Moderate fatty liver disease is often overlooked by people. However, with the passage of time, year after year, moderate fatty liver disease can progress to severe stages and eventually develop into cirrhosis. Treatment for moderate fatty liver disease should start with dietary control, focusing on weight loss as the principle, paying attention to the proper combination of dietary nutrition, avoiding snacks, and not eating extra meals before bed. Engage in appropriate physical activities, and diabetic patients should control their blood sugar levels. The medication for fatty liver disease takes a long time. For moderate fatty liver disease, the treatment duration is often at least 3 months.
