Patient's question:
I am 38 years old and have recently felt that my liver is very tired. I haven't had much appetite, and at night, I always feel a sharp pain in my stomach. When I went to the nearby hospital for a check-up, they said it was liver disease and asked me to get an injection. Could you please tell me what the difference is between being diagnosed with alcoholic liver disease and fatty liver disease after a hospital check-up?Doctor's answer:
Alcoholic liver disease has a relatively high possibility of causing liver damage. If it is fatty liver, it is more likely to be caused by excessive obesity or poor lifestyle habits. If it is mild fatty liver, appropriately adjusting dietary habits, eating more light meals, preventing overly greasy and high-cholesterol diets, and moderately increasing physical activity can effectively alleviate the possibility of alcoholic liver disease and the potential for liver cirrhosis. It is also necessary to give sufficient attention.
