You have been told you have a fatty liver, also known as hepatic steatosis, which happens when excess fat builds up in the liver. Many people have no symptoms and only discover they have it after a routine blood test or scan. While it’s usually not serious in the early stages, it can lead to more serious liver problems over time if not managed.
Currently there is no specific drug treatment for fatty liver. However, in many cases, lifestyle changes can reduce the progression of disease. That’s why taking action now is so important.
Weight loss, regular exercise, eating a Mediterranean diet and drinking enough water can help.
