One of the misconceptions about fatty liver: fatty liver is not a disease, it does not matter whether you look at it or not. With the increase in the detection rate of fatty liver in the surrounding population, people have become dismissive of it and always think that fatty liver is at most a subhealthy state, not a real disease, and does not need to be treated at all. So is fatty liver a disease or not, and should it be treated? The medical profession used to believe that NAFLD is a pathological state of excessive fat accumulation in the liver that does not cause hepatitis or liver fibrosis. However, a large number of studies in recent years have shown that NAFLD is a chronic disease closely related to lifestyle behaviors, and that NAFLD should be considered a disease from the perspective of both liver disease and the prevention and treatment of diabetes and cardiovascular diseases, and its scientific name should be non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Therefore, even asymptomatic fatty liver found in health checkups should not be taken lightly and should be treated in hospital in a timely manner. Fatty liver misconception two: fatty liver is impossible to be cured clinically, many patients with fatty liver have been to a number of hospitals for a long time and tried a lot of drugs, but they just do not see any improvement, so they pessimistically believe that fatty liver is impossible to be cured. In fact, simple fatty liver is the early manifestation of various kinds of hepatotoxic damage, if the cause can be removed and the primary disease can be controlled in time, the fatty deposits in the liver can be completely eliminated in a few months. Fatty liver misconceptions: treatment of fatty liver mainly relies on liver-protective drugs many patients often turn to major hospitals or pharmacies for special drugs for the treatment of fatty liver, in fact, no panacea for fatty liver has been found at home and abroad, and the prevention and treatment of obesity fatty liver such modern urban diseases, diet, exercise and other measures to lose weight is more important than liver-protective drugs, especially simple obesity fatty liver. Therefore, fatty liver patients must understand the importance of active participation in treatment, and strive to identify and correct their poor diet and lifestyle habits, and should not think that they can rely solely on money to buy drugs to achieve health. Fatty Liver Myth #4: With fatty liver, you have to take lipid-lowering drugs. Although hyperlipidemia is closely related to fatty liver, there is usually no causal relationship between the two, and there are no formal clinical trials at home or abroad on lipid-lowering drugs that can effectively reduce fat deposits in the liver. For this reason, it is not always necessary to take lipid-lowering drugs when you have fatty liver, and improper application of lipid-lowering drugs can sometimes aggravate liver damage instead of reducing fatty liver. At present, it is believed that if fatty liver is not accompanied by hyperlipidemia, then do not use lipid-lowering drugs. Fatty liver misconception No. 5: fatty liver with elevated transaminases need to take enzyme-lowering drugs obese fatty liver patients, if the weight loss of 5%-10% in 3-6 months, can make the increased serum transaminases to normal levels. It has been reported that for every 1% reduction in body weight, transaminases drop by 8.3%; for 10% reduction in body weight, the increased transaminases basically return to normal, and the enlarged liver shrinks back and reverses the fatty liver; for those with high body weight, transaminases often continue to rise, and even if liver-protective and enzyme-lowering drugs are applied, it is difficult to be effective. Fatty liver myth No. 6: fatty liver with elevated transaminases can not be more active clinically, about 10% of patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease have elevated serum transaminases, this situation is different from acute viral hepatitis, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis does not need to rest and nutrition, and does not need to take related disinfection and isolation measures. Epidemiological investigations have shown that obese steatohepatitis with elevated transaminases is closely related to a structured diet and a sedentary lifestyle, and that moderate aerobic exercise for 150 minutes or more per week, along with a moderate diet, is the most effective treatment. Therefore, instead of taking more rest, patients with fatty liver with elevated transaminases need to increase their exercise. Fatty liver myth No. 7: chronic viral hepatitis combined with obesity fatty liver antiviral treatment is the most important China is a large country with chronic hepatitis B virus infection, and in recent years the number of obese fatty liver patients has been increasing, the probability of the combined existence of the two diseases is increasing. For the treatment of patients with obesity, fatty liver and hepatitis B virus infection with elevated transaminases, the usual thought is to use antiviral drugs. In fact, some patients do not always have liver damage caused by viral infection, and if it is not caused by viral infection, it is useless for you to be antiviral. For this reason, in the coexistence of chronic viral hepatitis and obese fatty liver, weight loss treatment should be considered first. Fatty liver misconception No. 8: obese fatty liver patients fruit more good. Fresh fruit is rich in water, vitamins, fiber and minerals, and it is undoubtedly beneficial to health when consumed regularly. However, the health benefits of fruit are not the better. Because fruit contains certain sugars, long-term excessive eating can lead to blood sugar, lipid elevation, and even induce obesity, so obesity, diabetes, hyperlipidemia and fatty liver patients should not eat more fruit.
