Patient's question:
Recently, the company conducted a physical check-up, and unexpectedly, the results showed that I was diagnosed with moderate fatty liver by the doctor. None of my family members have this condition. I tend to be a bit overweight, and I usually dislike eating greasy foods. Now, my family members have all started eating vegetarian with me.Doctor's answer:
1. Slowing down the formation of atherosclerosis - Patients with fatty liver often suffer from hyperlipidemia, which increases blood viscosity. The low-density lipoprotein (LDL) in the blood, due to its extremely small molecular size, can easily penetrate the arterial intima and adhere to the vessel wall, reducing arterial elasticity, narrowing the diameter, and weakening flexibility. This ultimately leads to impaired blood circulation, vessel rupture, and damage to the soul.2. Leading to liver cirrhosis, liver failure, and liver cancer - The final outcome of various liver diseases is often cirrhosis. Fatty liver is also not well-known, and the risk of developing hepatocellular carcinoma secondary to cirrhosis is relatively high. Cirrhosis is divided into the compensated stage and the decompensated stage.
