Effective methods to eliminate liver fat include dietary adjustments, medication and surgery.
1. Dietary adjustments: patients need to control dietary calories, limit sugar intake, increase dietary fiber and drink more water. Avoid sitting for a long time and moving little, for example, insisting on moderate aerobic exercise for 30 minutes a day, 5 times a week. For obese patients with fatty liver, weight loss of 3%~5% can improve hepatic steatosis.
2. Medication: Simple fatty liver disease generally does not need medication, and can be adjusted through life and diet. For patients with progressive liver fibrosis, appropriate medication can be prescribed, commonly used metformin, orlistat and so on. If the patient has liver injury, the drugs that can be taken are reduced glutathione, Mentholatum ornithine, silymarin and so on.
3. Surgical treatment: Consider surgical treatment if necessary, such as bariatric surgery can improve liver fibrosis caused by the progression of fatty liver. End-stage liver diseases such as decompensated cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma and other end-stage liver diseases caused by the progression of fatty liver require partial hepatic resection or liver transplantation.
If the patient is diagnosed with fatty liver, it is recommended to improve the relevant examination and carry out targeted treatment under the guidance of the doctor.
