What is the best time to treat fatty liver?

Patient's question:

What is the composition of mild fatty liver? Is it only middle-aged and elderly people who get this disease? Can its composition be related to diet? How can I prevent the recurrence of this disease in the countryside where there are no conditions?!!!!!!

Doctor's answer:

Fatty liver is a chronic liver injury. Mild to moderate fatty liver often has few symptoms, making it easy for patients to ignore and miss the best treatment opportunity. Proper treatment of mild fatty liver is key. Fatty liver can lead to liver function impairment. If left untreated, it can cause 43% of fatty liver patients to develop liver fibrosis, which may progress to cirrhosis. Additionally, due to its severe impact on the metabolism of fats, sugars, and proteins in the liver, it can cause and worsen conditions such as hyperlipidemia, hypertension, coronary heart disease, diabetes, and gout. Moreover, during the treatment of fatty liver, in addition to immediate medical treatment, the patient's dietary habits and mental state are also very important. Patients must maintain a light diet and always keep a cheerful and optimistic attitude to avoid unnecessary negative effects on the complete recovery of fatty liver.
