Patient's question:
Doctor, I am a non-drinking woman, but I was carefully examined and found to have fatty liver disease. I am very puzzled. How could I get this disease? Is there a mistake in the diagnosis? What are the symptoms of fatty liver disease in general?Doctor's answer:
Before the onset of fatty liver disease, patients often have a history of heavy drinking in a short period. They experience significant weight loss, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, general fatigue, abdominal pain, and nausea with vomiting. Statistics show that 77% of patients experience loss of appetite again, 55% have nausea and vomiting, 46% have abdominal pain, and 43% experience weight loss again. Jaundice, liver enlargement, and tenderness are common signs in alcoholic hepatitis patients. 81% of patients have liver enlargement, and 77% have jaundice. Alanine aminotransferase levels are moderately elevated. Alcoholic fatty liver is often linked to the consumption of beer. Daily management is key in the treatment of alcoholic fatty liver. The following points should be noted: 1. Proper diet: Daily three meals should be properly prepared to achieve a balance between coarse and fine grains and nutritional balance. Sufficient protein can effectively eliminate fat in the liver.
