fatty liver please help

[Bettina2023]

I have been diagnosed with a fatty liver but bloods are ok. Have I got fatty liver disease and any advise would be appreciated please

Ideally you shouldn't have any fat build up in the liver but if you do then it's considered fatty liver disease. It's good that you have normal bloods as hopefully that indicates there is no ongoing inflammation. It looks like you have started making good and positive lifestyle changes which may hopefully prevent any progress and even reduce the fat build up in your liver.

The BLT has advice on Non Alcohol Related Fatty Liver - the guidance for which also covers fatty liver which is alcohol related but obviously cessation of alcohol is also necessary to reverse it. britishlivertrust.org.uk/in...

There is also a downloadable leaflet on treating NAFLD with healthy diet and exercise at:- britishlivertrust.org.uk/do...

No one ever told me it was a disease the doctor never recommended I see a hepatologist or a dietitian just told to stop drinking.

Same here. The average GP and I have seen plenty over the past 56 years, knows the least out of dentists, opticians and chemists. My Liver is most likely faulty from birth. They could have done something in my twenties or before.

Google "Fatty Liver Diet" and follow the cookbooks.

And no alcohol.

And you will be fine.

apparently fat levels over 5 % can lead to a FLD diagnosis.

You need a fibroscan to get some actual measurements of where you liver is at

hi again do you know where a fibroscan can be done
