Non alcoholic fatty liver disease

[Lexi-lou]

Hi,

I was recently told (16th December) that I have NAFLD. This kinda worries me a bit as I don't know much about it. This was found on a MRI scan (mrcp) for another condition. I have had a genetic blood test and a liver function etc done and as of yet not got the latest results. Hopefully the results are good news as already too ill to deal with more health issues.

So I was wondering if any of you lovely people can give me more of an insight into this condition.

Thanks in advance

A first place to start might be the British Liver Trust page on NAFLD at:- britishlivertrust.org.uk/li...

Hope you have been tested for alpha one antitrypsin deficency, a liver disease, you mentioned genetic test so I assume you have been , if not get tested for it. A metabolic disease first and foremost , but most patients present with emphysema first , the root of the problem in alpha one is liver first and foremost..good luck!
