Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I'm Dr. Kumar, thanks for using 'Ask A Doctor' service.
I've checked your details.
The fatty liver disease is a very common cause of liver disease, often seen when an ultrasound is done of the liver. After an age of 35 mild to moderate fatty liver is very common and is seen in about 80% people.
The main treatment is weight loss, it is recommended to lose at least 5% of your body weight and then monitor your liver enzymes to make sure they go back to normal. It is also recommended to take medications to lower your cholesterol if your cholesterol is high and if you had diabetes to make sure it is under good control.
The fat in your liver can cause inflammation, which, over time, can lead to cirrhosis, and this can then increase your risk of liver cancer. But if you do not have cirrhosis now, which it sounds like you don't, then you would not be at increased risk for liver cancer yet.
Sylimarin tablet a liver rejenuvator should be taken twice daily for few months to help liver recover.
Diet should consist of 50% complex carbohydrate 30% protein and 20% fat.
I hope that helps, please feel free to ask any questions about that, I would be glad to answer.
Regards
