Patient's question:
My cousin and his wife both got diagnosed with fatty liver, some are more serious, some are less serious. It's likely 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 some attention to their diet.Doctor's answer:
Fatty liver refers to an inflammatory condition caused by various factors leading to excessive fat accumulation within liver cells. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) poses a serious threat to the health of Chinese people, ranking as the third most prevalent liver disease after viral hepatitis, and has rightfully been identified 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 more serious cases. Generally, fatty liver is a reversible condition, and early diagnosis along with timely treatment often allows for recovery. In addition to active medical treatment, patients with fatty liver need to pay attention to maintaining deep sleep consistently, as sufficient deep sleep can help them recover more quickly from the disease. It is hoped that the above information can assist you.
