Is moderate fatty liver serious and how can it be treated?

Patients with moderate fatty liver are more serious because they have the risk of developing to severe fatty liver and liver cirrhosis. Fatty liver patients are 16 times more likely to develop liver cancer than normal people, so patients with moderate fatty liver should pay attention to it and can improve it from the following aspects: 1. Remove the causes: If it is caused by long-term alcohol consumption, first of all, you need to stop drinking, and pay attention to supplementing B vitamins and folic acid. If it is caused by obesity and hyperlipidemia, you need to control blood sugar, take lipid-lowering drugs, strengthen exercise and low-fat diet. Pay attention to weight loss, but the process of weight loss should not be too fast, generally 3%-5% of body weight loss per month. Too fast weight loss and excessive fat secretion will also aggravate fatty liver. If the fatty liver is caused by drugs, such as triamcinolone acetonide, you need to weigh the pros and cons and adjust the medication. If the fatty liver is caused by malnutrition, a high-protein diet is needed to improve nutrition; 2. Diet regulation: Since caloric intake can increase fat synthesis in the body, thus accelerating the fatty degeneration of liver cells in patients, patients with moderate fatty liver should have a reasonable diet with an appropriate amount of lean meat, fish, egg whites and fresh vegetables, as well as high-fiber foods such as corn, wheat bran and soybeans, which can help increase the feeling of satiety The patient can control blood sugar and blood lipids to a certain extent; 3. Medication: If liver damage occurs in patients with moderate fatty liver, they need to apply liver-protective medication and stop the medication only after the fatty liver disappears, otherwise transaminases will rise again. In addition, as the patient’s liver cells become diseased, he/she needs to use drugs such as ornithine menthylate granules, polyene phosphatidylcholine capsules and diammonium glycyrrhizate under the guidance of doctors to prevent fatty infiltration of liver cells and repair liver damage.
