Brief Answer:
Hello don't worry
Detailed Answer:
hi
welcome to HCM
thank you for your query
I understand your concern.
well fatty liver is a very common condition in which fat gets deposited in liver commonly in diabetics, overweight, people who consume alcohol and those with raised lipids, cholesterol in blood.
it's important to get a liver function tests and lipid profile done.
if both are normal need not to worry at all.
if liver function tests are abnormal then can consider testing yourself for hepatitis b and hepatitis c.
try following things simultaneously too
avoid alcohol
reduce weight if overweight
good control of diabetes
can take vitamin e supplement if liver function tests are abnormal after consulting your physician.
above all this is not very urgent can wait till you get an appointment.
it's difficult to get rid of fat from liver however if Liver function are normal no need to chase it unnecessarily.
hope this answers your query.
happy to help
best wishes
