You may have come across this term “Fatty liver” many times. It is very common and many individuals may not be aware of it for the rest of their life. It is scaring for most of the individuals to hear this term. Most of the times fatty liver get diagnosed accidentally in routine investigations or when one goes for a sonography for some other illness. A fatty liver does not produce symptoms in most individuals, especially when it is stable and has recently started. There are individuals who have a fatty liver and remains with them for the rest of their lives. In some, it may get transformed into a greater illness.
The liver is the largest organ our body. It is responsible for carrying out multiple functions at a given time. It has its own digestion, metabolism, storage, secretion and immune mediating function. The liver carries all these functions in sync, but when this sync and rhythm is disturbed it may give rise to fatty liver.
What is a fatty liver?
Fatty liver is also called as hepatic steatosis. A fully developed disease with a cluster of symptoms is called as a fatty liver disease. As the name suggests, in simple terms fatty liver is the accumulation of fat in the liver. About five to ten percent of the weight of liver includes the amount of fat in the liver. The fat in the liver may keep building up which leads to various grades of fatty liver.
How can one get rid of his fatty liver?
Fatty liver is a reversible condition provided one knows which grade he or she belongs to. Sonography of the complete abdomen can give you a fair idea about the grade and status of your liver at the beginning. There are various causes of fatty liver which if cured and treated can help you get rid of fatty liver.
- Drinking alcohol heavily is probably the most common cause which gives rise to fatty liver. The fat which cannot be metabolized by the liver starts accumulating. Alcohol if not controlled on time may give rise to a full-blown alcoholic fatty liver disease
- Besides alcohol, obesity is another maintaining cause
- High cholesterol (hyperlipidemia)
- Diabetes
- Genetic link, if anyone in the immediate family had fatty liver, you may have it too
- Rapid weight loss due to some illness (like malnutrition) or medications
- There are medicines which have their own side effects. Medicines like aspirin, steroids, methotrexate, temofaxine etc affect the liver drastically.
- Fatty liver may also be evident in sonography during pregnancy, but it wanes off gradually after delivery.
No medications will help you get rid of fatty liver completely. No doctor will prescribe you medicines just to treat the fatty liver. However, he may give you some medications in order to support the therapy. If ask me about the treatment, I can explain it in two words, “Self-actualisation”. Yes, getting to know yourself and having a clarity about your day to day activities itself will give you an answer for your queries related to fatty liver. Things which you do during the day like eating, working, playing, sleeping etc, may be just a routine for you. Individuals may do something unknowingly or somethings just may be overlooked due to sheer negligence.
An alert mind about your daily routine is an essential thing one should possess. There will be no other therapy like self-actualisation that will make you realize the things which you do and the things which you should. Few practical things one should keep it in mind if one wants to completely get rid of fatty liver
- Decide and target to avoid alcohol
- Have a healthy lifestyle by eating hygienic food and exercising regularly
- Avoid eating junk and fatty foods
- Drink lots of fluids
- Avoid self-medication, always consult your physician in case of any illness
- Watch your blood sugar levels
- Maintain your weight, by maintaining it does not mean maintaining weight even if it is on a high scale. Rather evaluating your weight according to the height and weight scale. Obesity is an enemy for the liver
- Replace heavy proteins like red meat with lean proteins like chicken and fish.
