Fatty liver is a lesion caused by excessive accumulation of fat in liver cells due to various reasons. Normal fat in the liver accounts for 3-4% of the liver weight, if the fat content exceeds 5% of the liver weight, it is considered fatty liver, and in severe cases, the amount of fat can reach 40% to 50%. Lipids in fatty liver are mainly triglycerides. The causes of fatty liver are: 1, long-term alcohol consumption, resulting in alcoholism, resulting in the reduction of fat oxidation in the liver; 2, intake of high-fat diet or long-term eating a lot of sugar, starch and other carbohydrates, so that the liver fat synthesis; 3, obesity, lack of exercise, so that too much fat input in the liver; 4, diabetes; 5, viral hepatitis; 6, some drugs caused by acute or chronic liver damage. Mild simple fatty liver can be asymptomatic, only when the ultrasound examination suggests the presence of fatty liver, moderate to severe cases can appear the symptoms of hepatitis, such as poor nausea, fatigue, and even nausea, vomiting, jaundice, etc., serum alanine transaminase is elevated, some patients have elevated serum alkaline phosphatase, often accompanied by elevated blood triglycerides, called steatohepatitis, if further can develop into liver cirrhosis, portal vein If further development of cirrhosis, portal vein, high pressure, ascites and swelling of the lower limbs, etc. So, what should I do if I have fatty liver? First, identify the cause of the disease and take targeted measures. For example, those who drink a lot of alcohol for a long time should stop drinking. Those who are over-nourished and obese should strictly control their diet to restore their physical fitness to normal. Diabetic patients with fatty liver should actively and effectively control blood sugar. Those who have viral hepatitis should actively treat viral hepatitis. In short, removing the cause of the disease is conducive to curing fatty liver. Secondly, adjust the diet structure, advocate high protein, high vitamin, low sugar, low fat diet. Do not eat or eat less animal fat, sweet food (including sugary drinks). Eat more green vegetables, fruits and fiber-rich foods, as well as high protein lean meat, river fish, soy products, etc., no snacks and no extra meals before bedtime. Also, increase exercise appropriately to promote fat consumption in the body. Finally, medication-assisted treatment, if liver function abnormalities can take liver-protective drugs such as silymarin capsules, elastase enteric soluble tablets, thiopronin tablets, etc., if the blood ester is too high can take ester-lowering drugs such as simvastatin, atorvastatin, etc.. You can also take some herbal medicines to dispel fat. In addition, patients with fatty liver often have vitamin deficiency, so they should also take vitamin C, folic acid, etc. Vitamin C can promote the decomposition and transformation of cholesterol, which can strengthen the liver’s role in removing cholesterol. It is worth reminding everyone that fatty liver is a metabolic disorder of the liver, which is reversible and can generally be cured after reasonable treatment.
