Patient's question:
Doctor, I usually eat less and engage in little physical activity. Last week during a health check-up at my workplace, I found out that I have fatty liver disease, Fortunately, it's mild. I don't feel much about it now, but I'm afraid it might flare up in the future. Could you tell me what are the clinical symptoms of mild fatty liver? Do I need to go to the hospital?Doctor's answer:
The symptoms of mild fatty liver are mainly manifested in the following aspects:1. Loss of appetite, fatigue, stuffiness or discomfort in the liver area, or pain. This is a common symptom associated with liver disease. If a patient experiences loss of appetite, fatigue, aversion to greasy food, abdominal pain, or mild liver area pain again, and excludes colds, acute gastritis, or other liver diseases, it should raise suspicion of fatty liver.
2. Nausea and vomiting. Nausea and vomiting are common symptoms in clinical diagnosis. If fatty liver is accompanied by liver function damage, it may also cause symptoms such as nausea, aversion to greasy food, and upper abdominal pain.
