Does Quitting Alcohol Reverse The Damage Done To Liver?
Got an ultrasound report back saying that my liver was of normal size with some coarse liver texture which is not uncommon and can be the result of fatty liver or chronic alcohol use. I had stopped drinking three months before the test. Will the eventually reverse itself if I continue to avoid alcohol?

Hello
Yes,findings are expected to reverse if continue avoiding alcohol.
Fatty liver is a reversible stage.It is due to excessive deposition of fat within the liver cells.
Your condition need few more investigations lie routine hemogram,random blood sugar,lipid profile,liver function test.
You should increase your physical activity and avoid fried and fatty food.
You may need few medicines after full investigations.
It may take 6-8 months for complete reversal of fatty liver.
Take care
