moderate fatty liver

Mild to moderate fatty liver often has no symptoms, or occasionally causes discomfort in the liver area, with only mild abnormalities in liver function, making it difficult to attract people's attention and leading to neglect of treatment. Moderate to severe fatty liver often presents with abdominal distension, fatigue, severe right upper quadrant pain or tenderness, fever, leukocytosis, and other symptoms. The symptoms of fatty liver are not more obvious than those of other diseases. We should pay more attention in daily life and ideally undergo regular physical examinations at intervals to achieve early detection and early treatment. Mild to moderate fatty liver is difficult to attract people's attention. However, with accumulation over time, year after year, mild fatty liver can progress to moderate and even severe stages, ultimately developing into cirrhosis. Treatment for mild to moderate fatty liver should start with dietary control - not eating too much, and certainly not binge eating; eating until eighty percent full at each meal is sufficient. Weight reduction should be the principle, with attention to reasonable nutritional balance in the diet. A high-protein, low-sugar, low-fat diet is recommended. Animal fats and sweets should be avoided or minimized. Alcohol should be refused. More vegetables should be eaten, and fruits consumed in moderation (some fruits contain high sugar). Snacks should be avoided, and no late-night meals. Appropriate participation in sports activities, diabetic patients should control blood glucose levels well, while also using Miaoshan Zhi and liver decoction for regulation - in this way, fatty liver can gradually improve. The duration of drug treatment for fatty liver is relatively long; the course for mild fatty liver is about 1 month, while the course for moderate to severe fatty liver is often more than 3 months. Moderate to severe fatty liver often presents with abdominal distension, fatigue, severe right upper quadrant pain or tenderness, fever, leukocytosis, and other symptoms. If fatty liver persists long-term, fat particles may enter the bloodstream due to rupture of fat vesicles, causing cerebral or pulmonary vascular fat embolism with sudden death, or venous hypertension and cholestasis. Severe fatty liver requires attention to diet and exercise on the basis of drug treatment, and should also combine the use of liver-protective and lipid-lowering drugs.
