Suggest Treatment To Improve Fatty Liver

default
Posted on Thu, 3 Apr 2014
Question: What can you do to cure or improve a fatty and inlarged liver? Will diet do the job or are there any medications that will help? My wife also has a bladder prolaps that she has had for 3 years. Her gall bladder has been removed. They found the fatty liver with a stomach ultra sound.

Brief Answer: Diet & Exercise do the job Detailed Answer: Hi, Thanks for writing to HCM. This is Dr. Ashish Verma, a general surgeon, answering your query. As all blood results are normal I believe diet with regular exercise should be enough. I find 15-20 mins every day walk did wonders for my patients. All she needs to do is reduce her weight up to 10% of her current weight. Its the excess body fat that is getting deposited at all the places and liver is one of them. The increased size of liver is as a result of fat deposition. Hope that I have answered to all your queries. If you have further queries, i will be glad to answer them. Regards Dr. Ashish Verma
