What is fatty liver?
Fatty liver disease is a common condition caused by the storage of excess fat in the liver.
Fatty liver (Hepatic S t e a t o s I s) can be divided into two main categories:
Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD)
Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (AFLD)
NONALCOHOLIC FATTY LIVER DISEASE (NAFLD)
It can be divided into the following types.
Simple Fatty Liver: This means fatty liver, but the patient may not have inflammation of the liver or liver cell damage. It is usually not severe or severe. Most people with NAFLD have a fatty liver.
Nonalcoholic S t e t o h e p a t I t I s (NASH): This is worse than fatty liver. NASH means that you have inflammation of your liver. Inflammation and damage to the liver cells caused by NASH can cause serious complications such as fibrosis and cirrhosis, which are types of liver scars, and liver cancer. About 20% of people with NAFLD have NASH.
Alcohol-Related Liver Disease (AFLD)
Fatty liver disease is preventable. It is usually best to stop drinking. If you continue to drink, AFLD can cause serious problems. The following are possible:
Enlarged liver: It may not always show symptoms, but you may experience pain or discomfort in the upper right side of your abdomen.
Alcohol hepatitis: In this case inflammation of the liver can cause fever (fever), vomiting, abdominal pain, nausea and jaundice.
Alcohol cirrhosis: In this condition, red tissue may form in your liver. Similar symptoms may appear as they arise from alcohol hepatitis plus:
A large amount of fluid accumulated in your stomach.
High blood pressure in the liver.
Bleeding in your body.
Confusion and change in behavior.
Enlarged umbilical cord.
Liver failure, which can be dangerous.
Who can have fatty liver disease?
There is a high chance of developing fatty liver disease if:
You are overweight or obese or you have belly fat
Your body does not respond to insulin properly (so-called insulin resistance)
You have type 2 diabetes
It has high levels of triglycerides
It has high ‘bad’ (LDL) cholesterol levels
It has low ‘good’ (HDL) cholesterol levels
You have polycystic ovary syndrome
You have sleep apnea
You have an underactive thyroid
Elder
You have an underactive pituitary gland
You are well fed
You have lost weight fast
You have been exposed to certain toxins and chemicals
High blood pressure
High blood sugar
Medical conditions that affect the way your body uses or stores fat
Hepatitis C or other diseases.
Taking certain medications such as glucocorticoids, methotrexate, synthetic estrogen, tamoxifen and others.
Gallbladder Removal: Some people who are offered to have their gums removed are more likely to have NAFLD
Problems with Fatty Liver Disease
The biggest problem in all of these cases is cirrhosis, or scars on your liver. As your liver tries to stop the inflammation from these conditions, it creates areas of scars. As the inflammation progresses, so do the scars, and finally, your liver is unable to do its job. That could lead to:
Flatulence in your stomach
swollen veins in your throat that may explode and bleed
confusion and drowsiness
liver cancer
liver failure
How to prevent it?
With NAFLD and NASH, it is entirely up to you to make better decisions:
Eat a healthy diet. Choose plant-based foods that are high in fruits, vegetables, grains, and healthy fats.
Maintain weight at a healthy distance. Lose weight if you need to. If your weight is healthy, work on maintaining a healthy diet and exercise.
Exercise a few days a week. Talk to your doctor first if you have been inactive for a long time.
To prevent AFLD:
Drink in moderation: This is one drink a day for women and men over the age of 65, and for men over the age of 65 and under.
Protect yourself from hepatitis C: This infection can put you at risk of getting cirrhosis if you drink.
HOW DO YOU TREAT A LITTLE LIVER DISEASE?
No NAFLD instructions. Some medications are subject to clinical trials. Usually the first line of treatment for weight loss. It helps reduce fat, inflammation, and scars on your liver. Losing only 3% to 5% of your body weight can reduce the amount of fat in your liver. Weight loss surgery is also an option if you have a lot to lose.
You will also need to stop drinking. The only way you can keep liver damage from getting worse is if it is worse. You can also reverse some of the liver damage that has already occurred. Talk to your doctor about how you can get help. You may need a controlled detoxification program to stop drinking safely and to control withdrawal symptoms.
If you have problems with NASH, such as cirrhosis or liver failure, you may need a liver transplant. In general, people with NASH implants do very well.
Fatty Liver Disease Care:
Lifestyle changes may help:
Exercise more. Try to work at least 30 minutes a day most days of the week. If you are trying to lose weight, you may find it helpful to do some exercise. But if you do not exercise regularly, find your doctor first and then start slowly.
Eat a low-calorie diet, saturated fat, and trans fats.
Lower your cholesterol. Exercise and take your medication. This will get - and maintain - your cholesterol and triglyceride levels where needed.
Control your diabetes. Check your blood sugar, and take medication as prescribed by your doctor.
Be gentle with your liver. Do not do things that will make it difficult. Skip alcohol. Only take over-the-counter medications and drugs as prescribed. Talk to your doctor before trying any treatment. Just because a product is natural, does not mean it is safe.
