"How far is fatty liver from liver cancer?

The hospital medical report came out, "Why do I have fatty liver?" "I usually eat very lightly and I'm not fat, how could I get fatty liver?" "Should I take medicine for fatty liver?"

I believe that the above questions will resonate with many friends. In recent years, with the continuous progress of medical examination methods and the gradual change of modern lifestyle and dietary habits, the prevalence of fatty liver has become increasingly globalized, and the prevalence of fatty liver is not only persistently high but also on the rise, with the obvious trend of rejuvenation, which poses a great threat to human health!

Who is susceptible to fatty liver?

1. Abdominal obesity

Abdominal obesity, in other words, is a "big belly", "beer belly" people. Medical research shows that obesity is often combined with metabolic diseases, and fatty liver is likely to be the result of abnormal fat metabolism.

The degree of fat accumulation in the liver is directly proportional to body weight, and thankfully, fat infiltration is relatively reduced or even disappears when the weight of an obese friend is controlled.

2. Alcoholics

Chronic alcohol abuse or heavy drinking over a short period of time can lead to alcoholic fatty liver, commonly known as "alcoholic liver". When alcohol is consumed, it needs to be degraded by the liver, and its breakdown products are obviously toxic to liver cells, and early liver damage may be manifested as alcoholic fatty liver.

Continued alcohol damage can also lead to alcoholic hepatitis, cirrhosis, abnormal liver function, etc. In severe cases, patients can have symptoms of ascites and leg swelling, and the risk of liver cancer is greatly increased. Therefore, for those who drink a lot of alcohol and have fatty liver, it is very necessary to quit drinking as soon as possible and seek medical treatment in time.

3. Under-eaters and under-eaters

Fatty liver literally means "fat disease". In fact, the liver is the "hub" of fat storage, long-term malnutrition in the body lack of protein, mostly seen in insufficient food intake or digestive disorders, can not synthesize apolipoproteins, apolipoproteins in the liver is used to "carry" excess fat outward. If there is not enough protein, fat may accumulate in the liver, forming a fatty liver.

Therefore, chronic malnutrition, excessive dieting and weight loss, and simply eating a light diet does not mean that you will not get fatty liver, and a balanced diet is most important.

4. Other causes such as drugs

Some drugs can cause fatty liver by inhibiting protein synthesis, such as tetracycline, adrenocorticotropic hormone, and amiodarone. If you have to use these drugs for a long period of time, your doctor will recommend regular review of your liver function so that you can make timely adjustments to your drug regimen.

In addition, viral hepatitis, especially hepatitis C, patients who excessively restrict their activities and eat a lot of high-sugar, high-calorie diets, the liver cells are prone to fat accumulation, which may also manifest as fatty liver in the early stage.

Manifestations of Fatty Liver

mild fatty liver

Often there is no obvious discomfort, and in the early stages, you may simply feel tired, and gradually develop symptoms such as fever, sweating, bitter taste in the mouth, diarrhea, and constipation. Many people find out by chance that they have fatty liver only after a physical examination with abdominal ultrasound.

Moderate to severe fatty liver

There may be manifestations similar to chronic hepatitis, such as not wanting to eat, lack of energy, fatigue, nausea and vomiting, vague pain in the right upper abdomen, etc. Some patients may also feel bloated in the stomach.

Moreover, fatty liver is caused by poor lifestyle, infections, etc. This group of people is also at high risk for hypertension, diabetes, coronary heart disease, cerebral infarction and other diseases. Those who suffer from these diseases should also be vigilant about their livers.

How should I exercise if I have a fatty liver?

(Total exercise time is not less than 150 minutes), such as jogging, swimming, playing badminton, yoga and other sports. According to their own physical fitness to choose suitable sports, about three or five friends, from the smaller amount of exercise to start, gradually and gradually increase to the appropriate amount of exercise, in order to enhance the consumption of body fat.

Reminder: Do not exercise for the sake of "exercise" and exercise, we should refer to the standard exercise, regulate their own breathing rhythm, excessive exercise is counterproductive, damage to joints and muscles. At the same time, exercise should not be too hasty, three feet of ice is not a day's cold, since the fatty liver is the result of accumulation, then physical exercise should be valuable in persistence, perseverance.

Eat the following 8 foods regularly for fatty liver treatment

1, oats can reduce serum bile acids, triglycerides.

2, corn rich in calcium, selenium, lecithin, vitamin E, etc., has the effect of reducing serum cholesterol.

3, kelp rich in taurine, can reduce blood and bile sweat in the cholesterol; food fiber fucoidan, can inhibit the absorption of cholesterol, promote its excretion.

4, garlic A mixture of sulfide-containing compounds that can reduce blood cholesterol, stop the formation of blood clots, and help increase HDL content.

5, apple Rich in potassium, can discharge excess potassium salt in the body, maintain normal blood pressure.

6, milk contains more calcium, can inhibit the activity of cholesterol synthase in the body, can reduce the absorption of cholesterol in the body.

7, onion Not only has the function of sterilization, but also can reduce the body's blood lipids, to prevent atherosclerosis; can activate the active ingredient of fibrin, can effectively prevent the formation of blood clots in the blood vessels; prostaglandin A on the human body also has a better role in lowering blood pressure.

8, sweet potatoes can neutralize the body due to overconsumption of meat and eggs produced by too much acid, to maintain the body's acid-base balance. Can absorb more water in the gastrointestinal tract, lubricate the digestive tract, laxative effect, and can be too much fat in the intestines, sugar, toxins out of the body, play a role in lowering fat.

In addition to eating more of the above 8 kinds of food, we especially recommend 3 fatty liver dietary remedies

1, celery soybean soup: 100 grams of fresh celery, cleaned and sliced, 20 grams of soybeans (first soaked in water), pot with the right amount of water soybeans and celery with cooked, eat beans eat vegetables and drink soup, once a day, served for three months.

2, green tea: 10 grams of green tea every day in the morning and afternoon, boiled water steeped and insisted on drinking.

3, kelp gibberellic acid soup: 50 grams of kelp, washed and shredded, gibberellic acid 50 grams, 20 grams of zedoary, 20 grams of grass cassia, 30 grams of hawthorn, add the right amount of water and decoction, one day a dose for 3-6 months.

With the improvement of living standard, the chance of people suffering from rich and expensive diseases is also increasing year by year. Fatty liver is the second most common liver disease after viral hepatitis, the prevention and treatment of fatty liver is not only a medical problem, but also a social problem. So, what kind of disease is fatty liver? Here we come to a systematic understanding.

The lipid content in the liver of a normal person is two to four percent of the liver weight. The liver is an important organ for lipid metabolism, but is not a storage organ for lipids; therefore, no lipid droplets are present in normal hepatocytes.

Fatty liver is a syndrome of cases in which diffuse steatosis of hepatocytes is predominantly present due to various causes. When the fat content in the liver exceeds five percent of the wet weight of the liver, or when more than 30 percent of the liver cells have steatosis on liver biopsy and are diffusely distributed throughout the liver, it is called fatty liver.

Clinically, alcoholic fatty liver disease is categorized into alcoholic fatty liver disease and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease according to whether the patient has a history of excessive alcohol consumption or not. Alcoholic liver disease is a liver disease caused by long-term heavy drinking, which is usually manifested as fatty liver at the initial stage, and then can develop into alcoholic hepatitis, alcoholic liver fibrosis and alcoholic cirrhosis, and can induce extensive hepatocellular necrosis and even liver failure in case of severe alcohol abuse, which is one of the common liver diseases in China. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is a clinicopathological syndrome characterized by diffuse hepatocellular vesicular steatosis, except for alcohol and other clear liver damaging factors.

Among the common causes of fatty liver are the following: alcohol, type 2 diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, viral hepatitis, drugs and toxins, and prolonged intravesical nutrition.

What are the clinical manifestations of fatty liver? Most patients have no obvious symptoms, often found slightly enlarged liver during physical examination.

So, how to prevent fatty liver? Remember these twenty words: give up bad habits, reasonable diet, weight control, moderate exercise, and careful use of drugs. Doing these points, we can certainly nip the disease in the bud.

Today, I saw a patient leave a message asking "I am very thin and do not eat any meat, why do I still have fatty liver". Seeing her message, I found that there are still many misunderstandings about fatty liver, so I think it is necessary to introduce fatty liver to you again. I have had this disease before, and later cured it through my own efforts without medication or injections, so I know this disease very well. I will introduce to you what fatty liver is? What are the dangers? And how to cure fatty liver with your own regimen.

What exactly is a fatty liver?

Understanding what fatty liver actually is is important for us to prevent and treat it.

Our liver is an important place for fat metabolism, the food we eat, is sent to the liver, processed by the liver and then transported out of the liver by transporters made of proteins (remember it, transporters made of proteins). When we consume too much fat and sugar, more than the liver can metabolize, or when the fat cannot be transported out of the liver, fat builds up in our liver, leading to fatty liver development.

(Fatty liver looks fat and greasy when compared to a normal liver)

China currently has hundreds of millions of people with different degrees of fatty liver, this incidence rate is very high, the youngest patient is 9 years old, terrible. I myself have had fatty liver, at that time, in order to urge me to improve my own living habits, cure fatty liver, I also built a 500 people microblogging group, it is really a common disease.

Fatty liver is a disease that is common, but most of them are mild and can be completely cured by adjusting one's lifestyle habits. But if you don't pay attention to it and let it develop, it can eventually develop into cirrhosis. Yes, you read it right, it can develop into cirrhosis, the kind of cirrhosis that spits up blood, jaundices and kills.

What can cause fatty liver?

1. Alcohol consumption

This is one of the most common causes of fatty liver and this type of fatty liver is known as alcoholic fatty liver. Alcohol can affect our body's fat metabolism and cause the accumulation of fat in the liver.

Almost five out of ten chronic alcoholics have fatty liver disease.

2. Eating a lot of fat and sugar

Consuming a lot of fatty meat, cooking oils, fried foods, etc. can lead to fatty liver when the liver is overburdened and can't handle that much. Also, after consuming a lot of sugar, it can be converted into fat in the body, which can likewise lead to fatty liver.

One of my groupmates in my group at the time ended up with fatty liver because she loved milk tea too much, which is really high in sugar.

3. Lack of exercise

Without exercise, there is no way to burn the energy you eat and it is converted into fat accumulation, not hard to understand, right?

4. Insufficient protein intake

This is something that a lot of people don't realize, that a prolonged vegan diet, without eating lean meats or consuming proteins, can lead to a protein deficiency in the human body. As I mentioned earlier, the transfer of fat out of fat requires a transporter made up of protein, which cannot be synthesized when the body is protein deficient, thus causing fat to accumulate in the liver.

Those who have been vegetarians for a long time and have dieted excessively to lose weight suffer from fatty liver for this very reason.

5. Some medications can cause fatty liver

Long-term application of hormones, isoniazid, methotrexate, as well as the Chinese herb Da Feng Zi can lead to fatty liver

What are the symptoms of fatty liver?

Most people have no symptoms of fatty liver and many are found during a physical exam. Fatty liver is categorized as mild, moderate or severe. Mild fatty liver tends to have symptoms, or only some very mild symptoms, such as fatigue, anorexia, loss of appetite, anorexia (which is also the body's self-protection, so that you eat less oil), and more serious cases of jaundice, itchy skin, liver dysfunction and other manifestations.

How to regulate fatty liver

Fatty liver usually doesn't require medication and can be completely cured by simply regulating your own lifestyle habits

1. The first thing is to stop drinking, if you don't stop drinking, you really don't have to talk about it.

2. Increase the amount of exercise and maintain 30 minutes or more of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise every day. I recommend swimming and fast walking and jogging. Swimming is a good exercise, not on the joints, and burn fat well, but affected by the climate and site. The most suitable is fast walking, a day fast walking a 30 minutes, five or six kilometers, the effect is very good.

3. Adjustment of diet

Oil, fatty meat, fried food, late night snacks, cola, milk tea, ban them all away. Make sure to consume good quality protein every day, the best is lean meat. Breakfast can be whole wheat bread, milk, soy milk, less use of doughnuts, meat buns and these foods. Chinese food and dinner can be vegetables, chicken breast-based.

Also fruits can be eaten, but they should be controlled, and fruit juices are strongly discouraged.

Don't go on a diet and eat nothing, you'll only get a fatty liver at home!

4. Regular work and rest, do not stay up late

Staying up late increases the body's glucocorticoid secretion and affects fat metabolism

4. medication is only needed for severe fatty liver, and only under a doctor's supervision

Prevention of Fatty Liver

I have described above what factors can lead to fatty liver, so just avoid them as you should. It is actually

Eat less grease and don't drink.

Exercise for half an hour a day.

Healthy weight loss without dieting.

Regular life, no late nights.

You will be able to stay away from fatty liver.

In 2015, the prevalence of fatty liver in Chinese adults was as high as 12.5%-35.4%, making it the number one liver disease in China. Fatty liver is defined as having more than 5% fat in the liver, and is generally considered to be mildly fatty liver between 5%-10%, moderately fatty liver between 10%-25%, and severely fatty liver above 25%.

Dangers of Fatty Liver Disease

Liver damage exists even in mild cases of fatty liver, and the damage is likely to be irreversible. The danger of long-term fatty liver is also that it can be transformed into cirrhosis and liver cancer. Very often fatty liver is not a single disease, but may also be accompanied by high blood fat, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, hypertension, obesity and other diseases.

What are the symptoms of fatty liver?

Early fatty liver is often asymptomatic and is only detected during physical examination. As the disease progresses, patients develop fatigue, vague pain in the liver area and abdominal distension. When it continues to aggravate, patients may have ascites, jaundice, emaciation and other manifestations of cirrhosis and liver cancer.

How to avoid cirrhosis on a daily basis

1, a reasonable diet, not recommended for full vegetarians, nor excessive intake of saturated fatty acids, to increase the intake of cereals and vegetables, fruits.

2, three regular meals, avoid overeating.

3. Avoid alcohol.

4. Treatment of obesity.

5. Increase aerobic exercise.

6. Avoid hepatotoxic drugs.

7. Actively treating hypertension, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia.

Fatty liver disease (fatty liver), is seriously threatening the health of the nation and has become second only to viral hepatitis as aSecond most common liver diseaseThe incidence of fatty liver in China is increasing and the age of incidence is getting younger. The incidence of fatty liver in China is increasing and the age of onset is getting younger. Some studies have shown that fatty liver can make patients over 50 years oldLifespan shortened by 10 yearsThe life expectancy of patients under 50 years of age is shortened by 4 years.

However, in general, fatty liver isreversible diseaseIf it is diagnosed early and treated in time, it can be restored to normal. If fatty liver is not effectively treated for a long time, the development of fatty liver will become more and more serious and may develop into cirrhosis or even liver cancer!

Who is at risk for fatty liver?

Overweight people

Fatty liver is caused by excess fat deposits, so overweight people are vulnerable to being targeted by fatty liver, especiallyAbdominal obesity, also known as a beer belly. Some data suggest that obese people have a 60-90% chance of developing fatty liver!

Chronic drinkers

Although fatty liver is caused by excess fat, one of the main types of fatty liver is thealcoholic fatty liverThe metabolism of alcohol in the liver can cause liver dysfunction. Alcohol is metabolized in the liver, which can cause disorders of liver function, and chronic drinkersextremely easyFatty liver occurs.

dieter

Everyone thinks that only obese people get fatty liver, but actuallyDieters are also prone to fatty liverThis is because fats in the liver need the help of proteins. However, dieters are also prone to fatty liver due to the insufficient amount of proteins they consume over a long period of time, which leads to insufficient synthesis of transit proteins, and fats can only be deposited in the liver.

Diet is considered to be an important factor in the progression and recovery of fatty liver, so if you want to prevent fatty liver, or if you are a fatty liver patient yourself, what do you need to pay attention to in your daily diet?

Four Don'ts

酒

Alcohol is easy on the liver and should not be consumed by people with fatty liver. Alcohol itself has the effect of promoting fat deposition, while ethanol contained in alcohol also has direct hepatotoxicity. Long-term excessive drinking can lead to alcoholic liver fibrosis and even cirrhosis.

high cholesterol

Patients with fatty liver disease should eat less animal offal and avoid high cholesterol foods, such as animal offal, chicken skin, etc. Foods with high nitrogen leachate such as meat broth, chicken broth and fish broth should also be avoided as much as possible. Although fatty liver disease is dominated by triglyceride deposition, it is often accompanied by elevated cholesterol and even metabolic syndrome, so it needs to be considered comprehensively.

Spicy and stimulating

Fatty liver patients should not eat more spicy and stimulating foods. Such as chili peppers, onions, garlic, ginger and other "four spicy" can be eaten, but should not eat more. If fatty liver disease is manifested as steatohepatitis, there are mostly digestive symptoms, at this time to light, less greasy diet, spicy and stimulating food will aggravate digestive symptoms.

greasy and fried food

Eat less animal oil and limit the amount of vegetable oil (no more than 20 grams in total). Animal oil is rich in saturated fatty acids, which promote the role of fat deposition in the liver. Fatty liver patients should eat less or do not eat greasy fried food containing high fat, it is recommended that usually in cooking fried food selection of steamed, boiled, stewed, braised, boiled, cooled and mixed as appropriate, should not be fried. This is related to fried food contains more saturated fatty acids.

Five more to eat

coarse grains (maize, sorghum etc)

For example, oats, corn, etc., oats are very rich in linoleic acid and rich saponins, not only can reduce serum cholesterol, triglycerides, but also has the effect of laxative. Corn is rich in calcium, selenium, lecithin and vitamin E, etc., can lower lipids, lower serum cholesterol, prevention and treatment of hypertension, coronary heart disease, delay cellular aging, reduce atherosclerosis.

mushrooms

Mushrooms and other mushrooms contain polysaccharides, vitamins, proteins, various amino acids and minerals. The polysaccharides it contains can regulate immune function and help fatty liver patients to lower fat.

kelp

Kelp is rich in polysaccharide compounds, taurine, a variety of vitamins, trace elements and dietary fiber fucoidan, which has the effect of lowering blood pressure, lowering blood glucose, lowering cholesterol in blood and bile, inhibiting cholesterol absorption as well as promoting excretion.

cucumbers

The fiber contained in cucumber can promote intestinal elimination of food waste, reduce cholesterol absorption, weight loss and adjust the role of lipid metabolism.

Don't take fatty liver seriously!

My wife complained, 'In the past you used to call people little heart, why don't you do it now? Is it that you don't love me anymore?' Hubby took a look at her blossoming figure and said, 'With your current look, small is out of the question. How about calling you fatty liver?' I believe that this is in fact the true picture of most families, with age, the couple's figure also began to go out of shape, but also brought a huge health risks ---- fatty liver! With the improvement of people's living standards, the prevalence of fatty liver is also increasing year by year, and the 2015 "China Fatty Liver Prevention and Control Guidelines (Popular Science Edition)" states that the prevalence of fatty liver in the country is 12.5%-35.4%.

However, many people are not aware of fatty liver and do not take its dangers seriously. People often harbor a sense of joviality when they mention that they already have fatty liver. There are even people who claim that life without fatty liver is imperfect! So, what exactly is fatty liver? What are the dangers of a fatty liver?

The liver is an important site for fat metabolism and plays an important role in the digestion, absorption, decomposition, synthesis and transportation of fat. Fatty liver is a condition in which there is an excessive accumulation of fat in the liver cells due to various reasons. These "oil droplets" of fat are distributed throughout the liver, occupying almost all liver cells, forming fat droplets or fat vesicles inside and outside the liver cells, which not only enlarges the liver cells, but also squeezes the cell nucleus and organelles to the side, making it impossible to play the physiological roles of a chemical processing plant of the human body normally. Normal intrahepatic fat accounts for 3%-4% of liver weight, mainly constituting the cell membrane. If the fat content exceeds 5% of the liver weight, it is mild fatty liver, more than 10% is moderate fatty liver, and more than 25% is severe fatty liver. Fatty liver has become the second largest disease in China after hepatitis B and viral hepatitis.

The vast majority of fatty livers are clinically detected mainly by imaging tests such as liver ultrasound, CT and MRI. ultrasound is the preferred method of diagnosing fatty liver due to its simplicity, inexpensiveness and painlessness, etc. The description of hepatic fatty infiltration and steatosis reflects the severity of hepatic steatosis. In some cases where the diagnosis cannot be made definitively, the diagnosis can only be confirmed by liver puncture biopsy.

Fatty liver is divided into two main categories: alcoholic liver disease and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

1, alcoholic liver disease is due to long-term heavy drinking caused by liver disease, early manifestation of fatty liver, further development into alcoholic hepatitis, alcoholic liver fibrosis and alcoholic cirrhosis; severe alcoholism can be induced by extensive hepatocellular necrosis and even liver failure;

2. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is a clinicopathological syndrome characterized by excessive fat deposition in the hepatocytes due to causes other than alcohol, drugs, toxins, infections or other identifiable exogenous factors, and acquired metabolic stress liver injury closely related to insulin resistance and genetic susceptibility. It mainly includes simple fatty liver and its progression to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis and cirrhosis. The prevalence in the general adult population is 10-30%, of which 10-20% is steatohepatitis, and its incidence of cirrhosis within 10 years is as high as 25%, which requires attention.

Fatty liver has many harmful effects on human body, firstly, the accumulation of fat droplets in liver cells will damage liver function, reduce human immune function, detoxification function, and even lead to the occurrence of cirrhosis. Secondly, it will promote atherosclerosis, induce coronary heart disease, stroke, induce or aggravate hypertension, aggravate diabetes and other metabolic diseases.

Also, don't believe that the farthest thing in the world is your fatty liver and liver cancer, they are actually within reach. Fatty liver is only 4 steps away from liver cancer. Previously, the International Liver Congress pointed out that the first place in the percentage of causes leading to liver cancer is hepatitis C (48%), followed by non-alcoholic fatty liver disease at 26%, alcoholic liver disease at 14% and hepatitis B at 8%. In contrast, most alcoholic liver diseases present with alcoholic steatohepatitis in the early stages, so the two together total 40%. Early fatty liver will reduce the capacity of the liver, the body will be easily fatigued, and easy to catch a cold and fever. After that, it will gradually develop into steatohepatitis, fatty liver fibrosis, cirrhosis and finally liver cancer.

Therefore, it is recommended that people over the age of 40, especially those who often socialize and drink alcohol and those who are obese, should have a routine medical checkup every year, including liver ultrasound and liver tumor markers, to nip liver cancer in the bud.

Dr. Liu Yubin, Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic:

Fatty liver is a common pathological change of the liver due to excessive accumulation of fat in the liver cells caused by various reasons.

Normal human liver tissue contains a small amount of fat. If there is too much fat accumulation in the liver, more than 5% of the weight of the liver or more than 50% of the liver cells have steatosis on histology, it can be called fatty liver.

Clinical manifestations are asymptomatic in mild cases and aggressive in severe cases. Generally speaking, fatty liver is a reversible disease, early diagnosis and timely treatment can often return to normal.

Fatty liver belongs to a kind of liver disease, modern people's lifestyle and dietary changes make the incidence of fatty liver higher and higher, unlike hepatitis B, hepatitis C and other liver diseases, fatty liver itself is not contagious.

As a common but harmful disease, fatty liver is still mainly to prevent, actively change their lifestyle, establish a scientific and healthy lifestyle is the key to prevent fatty liver.

For more authoritative hepatobiliary and pancreatic medical science, please pay attention to Dr. Liu Yubin, Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic. For more information, please visit the Hepatobiliary Surgery Department of Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital (3rd Floor, Outpatient Building, Main Hospital) every Tuesday and Friday from 9:00am to 12:00pm for registration and consultation.

Fatty liver disease is one of the liver diseases with an increasing incidence in recent years, and there is a tendency towards the younger generation.

Let's start by telling you what functions and roles our liver plays in our body.

The liver plays a very important role in our body, synthesizing proteins, detoxifying, secreting bile, storing glycogen, as well as coagulation and hematopoiesis.

And to talk about how fatty liver is a liver disease, Kirk will first tell you how fatty liver is actually formed?

In fact, the formation of fatty liver is the same as its name, is because we consume too much high-fat food in our daily life, resulting in excessive accumulation of fat in the liver cells, can not be effectively utilized, so the formation of fatty liver, just like your belly fat at this moment, because you eat and drink for a long time, so that the fat accumulates in your abdomen, and in addition, you don't have good exercise habits to burn off the fat, over time, it will cause the accumulation of meat and the formation of fatty liver. In addition, you do not have a good exercise habit to burn off the fat, over time will cause the accumulation of meat and the formation of fatty liver.

Why is fatty liver so prevalent, but not see fatty kidneys, fatty lungs and other diseases? I believe this is a part of the patients will ask the question, whichMainly because the liver is an important organ for us to produce heat when ours is in a quiet state, which means why the liver needs to stock up on glycogen and fat, so this is one of the reasons why fatty liver occurs.

So is fatty liver serious or not?

In fact, now many patients with fatty liver is basically due to incorrect diet, so this also makes most people's fatty liver can be effectively reversed, but to effectively reverse fatty liver need to start from the details of life and diet, such as avoiding the intake of high-fat food and strengthen their own exercise, and secondly, also to avoid some of the drugs that damage the liver and avoid the intake of alcohol. I believe that writing here, some people will ask Xiao Ke, in the end there is no treatment of fatty liver drugs ah, in fact, the drug treatment of fatty liver is only applicable to fatty liver aggravation caused by cirrhosis of the liver, for the early stage of fatty liver basically there is no need to use medication, so don't you suffer from fatty liver the first thing is to think about how to use medication.

I am focusing on science and health knowledge of small grams, looking forward to your likes and comments, attention to small grams, to learn more about health knowledge.

　Fatty liver is not an independent disease, it is a disease that can cause disease progression, and even cause end-stage liver disease, such a disease, and can even lead to death, the Chinese Medical Association Division of Hepatology Fatty Liver and Alcoholic Liver Disease Group now divided into two major categories of fatty liver or steatohepatitic liver disease, according to the cause of the division, a category of alcoholic fatty liver and a category of non-alcoholic fatty liver. The group is divided into two categories according to the cause, alcoholic fatty liver and non alcoholic fatty liver.

　　Fatty liver disease indicates that there is excess fat in the liver.

　　Drinking large amounts of alcohol brings with it the risk of fatty liver disease. Over time, too much alcohol leads to a buildup of fat in the liver cells and, as a result, the liver has difficulty working.

　　However, it is possible to get fatty liver disease even if you don't drink much.

　　alcoholic fatty liver disease

　　Also known as alcoholicliverdisease (ALD).

　　Some people have no symptoms, but if the liver is enlarged, they may experience pain or discomfort in the upper right abdomen.

　　ALD is preventable and usually improves with abstinence from alcohol.

　　If you keep drinking, ALD can cause serious problems, including:

　　Alcoholic hepatitis. Enlargement of the liver, which can lead to fever, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes).

　　Alcoholic cirrhosis. Scar tissue builds up in the liver and, in addition to causing the same symptoms as alcoholic hepatitis, it also

　　Elevated blood pressure in the liver

　　internal bleeding

　　Ambiguity of consciousness and behavioral changes

　　splenomegaly

　　Liver failure. It can be fatal.

　　Fatty liver disease usually occurs first, then worsens, becomes alcoholic hepatitis, and finally progresses to alcoholic cirrhosis.

　　If you drink heavily, consult your doctor, which is confidential and will help you control your drinking and protect your health.

　　Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD)

　　As the name suggests, alcohol has nothing to do with the disease.NAFLD is categorized into several different types.

　　Simple fatty liver disease means that you have fat in your liver, but the liver may not have any inflammation and the liver cells are not damaged. It usually doesn't get worse, or cause liver problems. Most people with NAFLD fall into this category of simple fatty liver disease.

　　Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is another type that is much more serious than simple fatty liver disease.NASH indicates that there is inflammation in the liver. There may also be damage to the liver cells.The inflammation and liver cell damage in NASH can lead to serious problems, such as:

　　Fibrosis: hepatic scar tissue formation

　　Cirrhosis: massive scar tissue forms in the liver, leading to liver failure and death of the patient

　　liver cancer

　　About 20% of people with NAFLD fall into this category of NASH.

Fatty liver disease is a clinicopathologic syndrome characterized by excessive deposition of fats, primarily triglycerides, in the liver.

With the improvement of living standard and the change of life style, the incidence of fatty liver disease is increasing, and it is reported that its incidence rate can be as high as about 10%, and the age of onset is advancing day by day. At present, fatty liver disease in China has become the second largest liver disease jeopardizing human health after viral hepatitis.

Clinical fatty liver disease, on the other hand, is divided into non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and alcoholic fatty liver disease.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is a clinicopathological syndrome characterized by diffuse hepatocellular vesicular steatosis, including simple steatohepatopathy as well as steatohepatitis and cirrhosis evolving from it, except for those caused by alcohol and other definite liver damage factors. With the increasing prevalence of obesity and diabetes mellitus, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease has now become one of the common chronic liver diseases in China. If the causes of NAFLD can be controlled, simple steatohepatitis and steatohepatitis can be reversed or even completely recovered, and weight loss and exercise can improve insulin resistance, which is the best measure for the treatment of obesity-related NAFLD. Current clinical drugs used in the treatment of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease are of uncertain efficacy. Polyene phosphatidylcholine and S-adenosylmethionine can be tried because of few adverse effects. Vitamin E is an antioxidant that reduces oxidative stress and has been suggested for routine use in the treatment of steatohepatitis.

Alcoholic liver disease is a disease of the liver caused by long-term heavy drinking. It usually begins with fatty liver and can progress to alcoholic hepatitis, alcoholic liver fibrosis and alcoholic cirrhosis. Severe alcohol abuse can lead to extensive hepatocellular necrosis or even liver failure. Abstinence from alcohol is the key to treating alcoholic liver disease. If only alcoholic fatty liver disease is present, the progression of fatty liver disease can be stopped after 4 to 6 weeks of abstinence from alcohol, and the liver may eventually return to normal. Simple fatty liver disease can be fully recovered if treated aggressively. Steatohepatitis can be recovered if detected early and treated actively. Part of steatohepatitis can develop into cirrhosis.
