What Is The Treatment For Enlarged Liver?
My mom has been diagnosed with fatty liver, and she is up all night with dry heaves and no energy to move. She ends up in the hospital every other month or so, feels better for awhile and then it starts all over again. Is this normal for her condition

Hi,
Alcohol ingestion and obesity are common causes of fatty liver disease.
Advice for fatty liver:
- abstinence from "Alcohol"
- Low fat diet should be followed, avoid junk food and beverages
- decreased oil consumption (oily food)
- NO red meat
- green vegetables should be ingested daily- use lemon juice (lemonade) once in a day
- reduce weight if overweight/obese
- "recheck liver enzymes after 6 to 8 weeks" and/or ultrasound.
Hope I have answered your query. Any further questions are welcome. Wish you good health.
Regards,
Dr. Tayyab Malik
