Can fatty liver be cured? How does the disease manifest itself? What are the causes and consequences? Usually these questions are asked by a patient who has heard a frightening diagnosis.
As a rule, the treatment of fatty liver begins already at an advanced stage, since the disease is diagnosed only with a special examination. The course of the disease is almost always asymptomatic. Sometimes there may be complaints of discomfort (including heaviness in the right hypochondrium), which increases during movement. Ultrasound of the liver usually does not show a picture of the disease (echogenicity is usually normal or slightly increased, as in fibrosis and cirrhosis of the liver). It is possible to identify the disease only after computed and (or) magnetic resonance imaging. Sometimes, to be completely sure, you have to go through both. But even after confirmation of the diagnosis, treatment of fatty liver begins after a targeted biopsy. The accumulation of fat in liver cells is usually a reaction to intoxication.
