Prescription for health education on fatty liver

  Fatty liver Concept: Fatty liver is a large group of heterogeneous diseases mainly characterized by hepatocellular steatosis. A normal person has about 4 to 5 grams of lipids per 100 grams of liver wet weight, when the lipid accumulation in the liver cells exceeds 5% of the liver wet weight. Or simply put, “fatty liver” means that the fat content in the liver occupies a larger than normal proportion. Depending on the amount of fat in the liver, fatty liver can be classified into three degrees: mild (containing 5-10% fat), moderate (containing 10-25% fat) and severe (with steatosis in almost all hepatocytes).  According to whether the liver tissue is accompanied by inflammation, fatty liver is divided into three stages: stage I is “simple fatty liver” without inflammation; stage II is “steatohepatitis” with inflammation and fibrosis in the confluent area; stage III is complete fibrosis and pseudobulbar formation. That is, “fatty liver cirrhosis”.  Health care measures: 1, the total amount of lipids in the liver of normal people is 3% to 5% of the liver weight, which is mainly triglycerides. When the amount of triglycerides in the liver for some reason causes a significant accumulation is called fatty liver, the lighter can account for 10% of the liver weight, the heavier can account for more than 50%.  2, the causes of fatty liver are many, the most common is due to long-term dietary nutrition is not reasonable, long-term high-fat high-sugar diet can lead to obesity, followed by 50% can be accompanied by fatty liver. The next is metabolic disease, of which alcoholism due to long-term alcohol consumption is common. After suffering from hepatitis due to excessive nutrition also has caused a transient fatty liver.  3, fatty liver is a reversible pathological process, except for alcoholic fatty liver, will not develop into liver cirrhosis, remove the causes of fatty liver can make fatty liver disappear.  4.Adjustment of diet is an important part of fatty liver treatment, diet is also high in protein, moderate fat and moderate sugar, all avoid fat and high sugar diet is the current diet is common two misleading.  5, abstain from strong alcohol is the only treatment for alcoholic fatty liver.  6, exercise exercise to lose weight, triglyceride-lowering drugs can be applied.
