Fatty liver is a reversible condition.It usually reverse with treatment of underlying cause.
Fatty changes in liver may be due to many causes like obesity,sedentary life,hepatitis,altered lipid profile,metabolic disorder etc.
Your father may need few investigations like routine hemogram,random blood sugar,lipid profile,liver and renal function test,Urine RE/ME.
He should avoid fatty and fried food.
Avoid saturated fat and take lot of fibers in diet.

Urinary symptoms may be due to many causes like infection etc.He need proper evaluation by a urologist.
