Patient's question:
Friend has fainted several times due to excessive drinking. After a thorough examination, it was found that he has alcoholic fatty liver disease. He has already started to gradually reduce his beer consumption as much as possible. However, the treatment effect is not very good. Every time he has a check-up, the indicators are getting higher and higher. Yesterday, the friend prepared to supplement the lesson and go for treatment.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 common liver disease after viral hepatitis, and has rightfully been recognized as a frequent cause of hidden 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 leads to recovery. In addition to symptomatic treatment for fatty liver, patients need to pay attention to dietary aspects, such as maintaining a light diet and engaging in regular outdoor activities. At the same time, patients should also focus on choosing a professional hospital for diagnosis to achieve better treatment outcomes.
