How To Treat Fatty Liver?
My niece is 32 and has been told she has fatty liver steatohepatitis. But she doesn t drink and use to weight only 105. Since her last kid she has develop a big stomach. She has gain 50lbs fast and is retaining fluid. Doctor said he didn t know why. I think its because of the hepatitis. Also she hasn t had a period for the last six months. Her OB said her eggs aren t dopping and her body isn t preducing enough insulin. Could the be related. Also is NASH another name for steatohepatitis?
