What to do for Fatty Liver

The number of fatty liver patients is increasing in the country. That said, patients with fatty liver are now at home. No one, young or old, is getting rid of fatty liver. As soon as we have an ultrasonogram in the abdomen, we find fat in the liver. Although there are no symptoms in some cases, this fatty liver is a major cause of liver cirrhosis and liver cancer.

Everyone has different thoughts about this liver fat. Much like the Kavid-19. Some people think that fat in the liver means the end of the liver, the end of life! Again for some it doesn’t matter. These two types of patients crowd the liver specialist chamber. The incidence of fatty liver disease is higher after Hepatitis B.

What is a fatty liver?
Fatty liver means the presence of excess fat in the liver. Some of the food we eat every day is stored in the liver as fat. The liver provides the body with the energy it needs from these stored fats during overwork or illness. However, having too much fat in the liver is not good for health, as the saying goes. If he accumulates more than 5 percent fat in the liver, he is diagnosed with liver disease: fatty liver. But 70-80 percent of this fat is also found in individuals.

Symptoms
This extra fat in the liver may not cause any problems or symptoms in the first place. This means that like most other chronic liver patients, fatty liver often does not have the same symptoms. However, some symptoms may occur. Such as:

Pain in the upper right side of the abdomen.

♦ Feeling of heaviness or discomfort.

Weakness or getting tired with very little effort etc.

Because
There are many causes of fat deposits in the liver. The main reason is overweight or obese body. Apart from this, diabetes, high blood pressure, dyslipidemia, hypothyroidism, hepatitis ‘C’ virus infection, polycystic ovary syndrome in women, alcohol consumption etc. are also major causes. It can be said that these are more than 90 percent of the fat deposits in the liver.

Test
Some tests can tell if someone has fat in their liver, how much the liver has been damaged, or if there is any damage at all. There are some tests of liver function including ultrasonogram to see these. The latest addition to the list of these tests is fibroscan. Through which it is very easy to tell the percentage of fat in the liver and the extent of liver damage.

Medicine
Many people question whether there is a drug to reduce fat in the liver. We have a good answer lately. There is a new FDA-approved drug for primary biliary cirrhosis called ‘abitaclic acid’. Various studies have shown that it not only reduces liver fat, but also reduces the risk of liver fibrosis or damage. Hopefully, this medicine is now being made in the country and is easily available.

Ways of prevention
There is no substitute for staying fit to keep the liver healthy. An effective way to prevent or prevent fatty liver is to change your lifestyle and eating habits to try to keep diabetes, weight control or lipid profile right. Here are some things to do:
