Question:
My husband has just been diagnosed with mild fatty liver, but we've been completely left in the dark about it. His doctor has not contacted us regarding anything other than to tell us the diagnosis. We're waiting to see another doctor to at least find out what it is, but it's weeks away. I looked it up on the internet but all the information I found had to do with Alchoholics, Obesity, and Pregnancy. My husbands none of those! He's 25 years old, 6'4, 170lbs, doesn't drink but for the occasional glass of red wine with dinner, and he has no family history of ANY major illnesses, or disease! Does anyone have any idea what this is, or why he could possibly develop something like this??
Answers:
Fatty liver (hepatic steatosis) is excessive accumulation of lipid in hepatocytes, the most common liver response to injury.
He has some fat showing up in his liver. does he have a tendency to eat fast food? He sounds pretty fit. Make sure you ask his Dr. What might be causing this and hope to reverse it.
