Hi.
I went through your concerns regarding your condition of fatty liver.
It's a condition in which triglycerides are deposited in the liver. In 20% of patients which causes inflammation in the liver, the condition is called NASH.
NASH is more dangerous than fatty liver. 20% of patients with NASH will develop cirrhosis of liver.
Your fatty liver is a control able condition. The first line management is achieving weight loss by life style n dietary modification. You should avoid junk foods, oily foods and sweets.
If you fail to achieve weight loss then I will suggest that you should start combination of capsule ursodeoxycholic acid 250-300 mg once a day and capsule Vitamin E 200-400 mg once a day.
This combination has shown promising effect in clinical trials.
Ursodeoxycholic acid is a safe drug. It has narrow spectrum of side effects like nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headach, dizziness and dyspepsia. But most of patients tolerate it very well.
I wish you good luck.
