Fatty liver is a lesion caused by excessive accumulation of fat in the liver cells for various reasons, but not fat wrapped around the outside of the liver. The fat we are talking about here mainly refers to the neutral fat “triglyceride”. When the fat content in the liver exceeds 5% of the wet weight of the liver, or when more than 1/3 of the liver cells have steatosis, it is called fatty liver; over 10%-25% is moderate fatty liver; over 20%-50% is severe fatty liver. What we often call fatty liver is a common clinical phenomenon, not an independent disease. If you have fatty liver but do not pay attention to it, it may cause ischemic necrosis of liver cells in the long run, which may lead to liver fibrosis and cirrhosis and other malignant liver diseases. It may also lead to digestive system diseases, atherosclerosis, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, etc. So, do you have the impression that people who have fatty liver are bloated and obese people?

When the glycogen is depleted due to hunger, the fat and protein stored in other parts of the body will be used and converted into glucose, resulting in a high level of free fatty acids in the serum. A large number of fatty acids are released from the adipose tissue into the liver, coupled with the lack of enzymes and vitamins necessary for lipid metabolism, eventually leading to the accumulation of fat in the liver, resulting in fatty liver. 4, diabetes: research found that an average of 25% of fatty liver patients have diabetes, while 50% of diabetic patients with fatty liver. It is very common in type 2 diabetes, especially in those who are overweight or have obesity. 5, drugs: many drugs can cause abnormal liver function to varying degrees. Such as tetracycline, glucocorticoids, methotrexate and so on. 6, other: such as hyperlipidemia, hepatitis, pregnant women, etc. may lead to the formation of fatty liver. Although there are many causes of fatty liver, fatty liver is a reversible disease, and patients who are found to have fatty liver should be treated promptly for the cause. For people without fatty liver should also do the following to prevent its occurrence: 1, reasonable diet: three meals a day with reasonable, coarse and fine, balanced nutrition, eat less sweets, not because of beauty or the pursuit of so-called health only consume vegetarian food. 2, appropriate exercise: according to their own physique to choose the appropriate exercise, such as jogging, Tai Chi, badminton, table tennis, etc., pay attention to the gradual progress. 3, careful use of drugs: one of the main role of the liver is detoxification, a variety of drugs into the body need the liver metabolism, usually do not move to take drugs, especially some health products, may also bring the burden on the liver. 4, cheerful mood: “anger hurts the liver” is our old saying, keep a good mood, less angry, work and rest is also quite important.
