Hi,

According to my opinion you can try non pharmacology measures for your fatty liver.
-Avoid junk foods
-Do active one hour exercise
-Drink more water
-Take low fatty foods
-Avoid alcohol intake
-Loose weight if obese

Repeat your cholesterol report after one month.If no improvement than low dose Rosuvastatin can be started. Liver enzymes monitoring needed when starting this drug as in few people, it can affect liver on long term use.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
