Hello,
There are two main types of
fatty liver disease so the treatment depends on this:
Alcoholic liver disease and Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. You can get the alcoholic liver disease from drinking lots of alcohol.
It can even show up after a short period of heavy drinking, other causes are obesity and
hepatitis B and C.
If you have alcoholic liver disease and you are a heavy drinker, quitting is the most important thing you can do.
Talk to your doctor about how to get help. If you don't stop you could get complications like alcoholic hepatitis or
cirrhosis.
Even if you have nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, it can help to avoid drinking. If you are
overweight or
obese, do what you can to gradually lose weight -- no more than 1 or 2 pounds a week.
Eat a balanced and healthy diet and get regular exercise. Limit high-carb foods such as bread, grits, rice, potatoes, and
corn. And cut down on drinks with lots of sugar like sports drinks and juice.
This should lead to improvement. You should repeat your liver markers in 3-4 weeks.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
