Grade II fatty liver is moderate and not severe. When fatty liver occurs, we must first pay attention to diet. We should not eat greasy, rich, heavy foods, or foods that are fried or grilled. Instead, we should eat a light diet, consume more vegetables and fruits, and drink plenty of water. Additionally, we should increase physical activity, as exercise can metabolize body fat and help prevent the occurrence of fatty liver. Moreover, it is important to abstain from alcohol, as it can cause fatty liver, so try to avoid drinking alcohol. The third point is to control hyperlipidemia. If hyperlipidemia occurs, it must be controlled through medication or diet to reduce it, which can help in the recovery from fatty liver.

How to treat fatty liver disease?

The treatment of fatty liver includes pharmacotherapy, surgical treatment, and dietary and lifestyle management. Since the occurrence of fatty liver is related to various factors, it is important to adhere to the principles of early detection, early diagnosis, early treatment, and comprehensive management. Active measures should be taken to treat the cause of the disease. For example, it is crucial to quit alcohol early, discontinue medications harmful to the liver, monitor the patient's weight, and actively encourage weight loss. In everyday pharmacotherapy, vitamins, B-complex vitamins, vitamin C, vitamin K, and folic acid can be used. Appropriate hepatoprotective medications can also be utilized. In severe cases, liver transplant surgery or weight loss surgery may be necessary.

Can fatty liver be contagious?

Fatty liver has many causes, the most common being obesity, as well as alcohol; long-term excessive drinking can cause alcoholic fatty liver. Other causes include malnutrition or long-term excessive use of certain medications, including anti-inflammatory drugs and corticosteroids, which can significantly damage the liver. Drugs used to lower blood lipids can also lead to fatty liver. Fatty liver is caused by these factors, not by an infection from a particular bacterium or virus, so it is not contagious. If you have fatty liver, it is recommended to exercise regularly under the guidance of a doctor. There are no shortcuts; only exercise can eliminate fatty liver.

Fatty liver is divided into several stages.

Fatty liver is a disease caused by lipid metabolic disorder and lipid accumulation in liver cells. If the fat accounts for more than 5% of the liver's total mass, it is defined as fatty liver, which is divided into three stages: mild fatty liver, moderate fatty liver, and severe fatty liver. Mild fatty liver is when the fat content is more than 5% but less than 10%; moderate fatty liver is when it exceeds 10% but is less than 20%; severe fatty liver is when it exceeds 20%. We must pay sufficient attention to mild, moderate, and severe fatty liver.

Does having fatty liver and farting a lot mean expelling fat?

Fatty liver causing frequent flatulence does not involve expelling fats. The condition may be due to indigestion and rapid intestinal movements caused by the fatty liver. In such cases, further comprehensive auxiliary examinations are required, such as liver function tests, colonoscopy, hepatic imaging studies, and lipid tests to identify the causes of these symptoms and provide appropriate treatment based on those causes. Treatment can include the use of compound digestive enzymes to aid digestion, as well as medications like Bacillus cereus and Bifidobacterium tribacillus to regulate the gut flora. Patients with fatty liver should also control their diet by adopting a low-fat diet and engaging in feasible physical exercise and weight loss. (Please use medications under the guidance of a doctor.)

How to deal with fatty liver with elevated transaminases?

First, it is necessary to determine whether the fatty liver is alcoholic or non-alcoholic. If it is non-alcoholic fatty liver with elevated transaminases, lifestyle interventions should be implemented first. Weight loss and exercise can treat fat-associated fatty liver. Generally, it is necessary to control the intake of calories and fats, especially saturated fatty acids, maintain an ideal weight, and exercise sufficiently and consistently. Similarly, if there is a significant increase in blood lipids, lipid-lowering drugs can also be used. Additionally, some liver-protective drugs can be incorporated into treatment. If it is alcoholic fatty liver, abstaining from alcohol is a key treatment, as well as appropriate nutritional support. For long-term alcoholics, since alcohol replaces the calories provided by food, there is generally an insufficient intake of protein and vitamins. Therefore, a diet high in protein and low in fat should be provided, along with appropriate vitamin supplementation, and liver-protective drugs can also be used. (Please use medications under the guidance of a doctor.)
