Hello,

I had gone through your question and understand your concern. Fatty liver is a very common finding in abdominal ultrasound. Grade 1 fatty liver, is an early stage of fatty deposits in the liver, and it is also called steatosis. It can be related to alcohol consumption or to other causes like high blood level of fats, or chronic hepatitis B.

I suggest you also to get blood analysis of fat level, ALT, AST, ALP level.

Since this is an early stage of fatty liver, it's easy to cure it and to prevent other stages of fatty deposits.

I suggest you stop the consumption of alcohol if you drink. You should also limit the consumption of high-fat food in your diet, like (red meat, fried foods, fast foods etc.) and add more fruits and vegetables in your diet.

If you follow regularly these instructions, you will see that your fatty liver will improve easily.

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

Regards,
Dr. Suela Gjata,
General & Family Physician
