Patient's question:
Brother-in-law and sister-in-law both tested positive for fatty liver disease. It's just a matter of severity, but the possibility is related to their family's lifestyle. They eat a lot of spicy and salty, heavy-flavored food year-round. Now, the two of them have paid attention to their diet.Doctor's answer:
Fatty liver refers to an inflammation caused by various reasons leading to excessive fat accumulation within liver cells. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a serious threat to the health of Chinese people, ranking as the third most common liver disease after viral hepatitis, and has rightly been recognized as a common cause of cryptogenic cirrhosis. Fatty liver is a common clinical diagnosis rather than a specific disease. Its clinical manifestations range from asymptomatic in mild cases to severe and aggressive in severe cases. Generally, fatty liver is a reversible condition, and early diagnosis and timely treatment often allow for recovery. In addition to active treatment, patients with fatty liver need to pay attention to maintaining deep sleep throughout their lives, as sufficient deep sleep can help them escape the disease more quickly. It is hoped that the above answer can assist you.
