It takes a long time for fatty liver to progress to cirrhosis, which may be about 10-20 years. If you pay attention to the management of fatty liver, the progression to cirrhosis is relatively slow, because fatty liver is a relatively benign liver disease, and many patients can improve if they pay attention to the management, do physical exercise and eat less greasy food. Fatty liver also requires regular liver function, lipid, liver ultrasound and other related examinations, usually must pay attention to rest, ensure sufficient sleep, appropriate aerobic exercise is more beneficial to improve lipid metabolism. If liver function abnormalities occur, you need to actively protect the liver and anti-inflammatory treatment, and strive to cure fatty liver in the hepatitis stage, otherwise the progress to cirrhosis is often irreversible.
