Does Weight Loss Help With The Treatment Of Fatty Liver?
Hello, my doctor wants to do liver biopsy to me as he suspects I might have either fatty liver or fibrosis. I have had hepatitis C and I had D , but D disappeared. My question is , is there point to do liver biopsy when I could just wait 3 -4 months and try to lose weight and then we could do tests again and see if theres change in them?

Hello
thank you for trusting HCM
Dear hepatitis c can cause hepatitis or steatohepatitis or cirrhosis etc..
depending on liver histology ,liver enzymes and viral load treatment may vary so probably for that your doctor advised liver biopsy.
but only simple fatty liver no need liver biopsy.lifestyle changes and regular exercise may useful. I think I answered to your question if you have more questions feel free to ask.
take care
