What?: Why do you think you have cancer?
You went on a diet and lost weight.

Question 2

Hair LosS: Fatty liver &  hair loss are not directly related. Hair loss may be due to hormonal factors, thyroid disorder, hair products, medications, skin diseases, scalp infections, etc .  See your doctor for evaluation.

Accepted Answer

Not really.: Sleep loss is not known to cause liver disease or cholestasis. On the contrary, however, severe cholestasis can result in sleep loss, if the itching from the cholestasis makes it difficult to sleep.

Question 5

fat loss is limited to roughly 2 lbs a week as the liver cant physically process more. more than 2 lbs would be muscle loss.' true or bro'science?

Accepted Answer

Good idea...: to shoot for a goal of  2 pounds a week is very reasonable.  To be more aggressive than that may lead to muscle loss and water loss.  Weight lost too fast will tend to come on back fast.  Weight loss should not be result of just a diet, but a result of changing your lifestyle to be more healthy and well - this is the only lasting technique.  Be well!

Question 6

does fatty liver slow weight loss ?

Accepted Answer

Fat metab affects: The liver is a vital organ ("You can't live without a liver!"); it helps burn fat efficiently. When fat deposits in the liver, fat is burned less efficiently, &amp; it is harder to lose fat/weight. Very often people with fatty liver have slower metabolic rates &amp; insulin resistance which also make it harder to lose. Base your diet on vegetables, healthy protein and good fats: olive oil, nuts, oily fish

Question 7

how do i slow weight loss down? i have fatty liver and i have lost 60lbs since march. i don't want to make liver worse. i am eating good

Accepted Answer

See doc: Unless one has had weight loss surgery, that amount of unexplained wgt loss in 7 mos is excessive and warrants an investigation by one's doc to make sure that one does not have a serious medical issue causing the wgt loss.  If one worked at wgt loss, but it continues despite not attempting to do so, that also warrants investigation by med. Doc.

Question 8

ab.pain, burn from mid 2 right and in back. fullness filling, can't eat weight loss doc said gastritis on patronix 3rd time n liver is enlarged again?

Accepted Answer

Abdominal pain: Abdominal pain with weight loss probably not from gastritis and liver enlargement does not happen with gastritis itself, you need to be worked up, get a ct scan of the abdomen to start with, consider a gastroenterology consult.

Question 9

having nafld, in addition to weight loss and physical exercising, i read that drip coffee may have a protective effect against liver fibrosis. but it may affect men fertility negatively(p.s:already have varicocele). should i drink 2,3 cups of coffee?

Accepted Answer

Risk benefit: It is imperative that you lose weight and exercise to reverse the pathology. Liver cirrhosis will affect your fertility a whole lot more than coffee.
Wish you good health!

Question 10

liver enzymes elevated w/3 weeks methimazole; don't drink; hair loss; 95.9f temp; lab norm except slightly high t4; want 2 reduce med; dr said no; why?

Accepted Answer

Ask your doctor!: I really can't speak for your doctor. Obviously he/she feels the benefits of Methimazole for you at this time outweighs the stress it is placing on your liver. Other doctors might have a different opinion- this is a judgement call. Ask your doc & if not satisfied seek a second opinion. There are other treatments available but mild elevations tend to be temporary. Herbs like milk thistle may help.
