Suggest Treatment For Fatty Liver In A Person With High BP
Question: I was told yesterday after an ultra sound that I may have something called hectic decease of the liver or fatty deposits in my liver. What is the treatment if any and or outcome of this complication? This was at an urgent care unit who has instructed me to see my Dr. as soon as possible. I am a non drinker but have been taking pain pills for years due to back issues. I also take medication for high blood pressure. Basically I want to know if this is a fatal decease?
