How Much Time Does It Take To Reverse Fatty Liver Condition?
Hello Dr,Experts i was a heavy drinker for 7 years and I have fatty liver for past 2 years,and quitted alcohol for past 3 months. After 3 months i had drinks for 10 times ( 10 days heavily ), but could not digest the alcohol..it took more time to digest the alcohol than usual.Before quiting atleast, i was able to drink with better alcohol digestion. But after quitting for 3 months..and then took alcohol....the digestion took much more lengthier process. What is the reason behind it? is it a sign of good or bad? Can i assume that as good sign that my elevated liver enzymes are normal and liver regeration in process??..hence it took more time to process alcohol? or is it a bad sign that i have got cirrhosis? How long it takes for fatty liver to become normal? and how long the liver regenration process takes? what is the sysmtom of liver regeration?so that i can give a pat on my shoulders and keep avoiding alcohol? Can i have limited alcohol once liver is back to normal? Or is there any possibility to get fatty liver quicker way , if i start alcohol again? even with limited alcohol? Please help.

Hello,
* As per my clinical experience, the clear understanding of fatty liver includes pathological details of
@ micro or macro vesicular steatosis
@ fibrosis of portal tracts or liver parenchyma
@ altered liver echogenecity
@ other comorbid conditions
* The certain stages of fatty liver do become irreversible.
* The moderate amount of alcohol restarting is even dangerous than the current situation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
