Brief Answer:
Cause to be treated
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for the query.
The treatment of fatty liver depends on the cause leading to it.
If fatty liver was a incidental finding without any symptoms, no need to worry.
It is a reversible condition.
Once check for her liver function tests.
If everything is normal, you can follow measures like :
-Decreasing fat content in meals.
-Reducing the weight gradually.
If she is able to walk, let her walk for 30 to 45 minutes in a day, that will help in decreasing the weight gradually.
Hope I have answered your query. I will be available to answer followup queries. If you are satisfied with the answer, please give your review at the end of the discussion.
Take care.
