Accepted Answer

Gall Stones: Fatty liver is a benign condition usually related to diet, however if it worsens it can become a condition called steatohepatitis. Watch your diet and it should improve.

What to do: Obesity, diabetes, alcohol abuse, are some of causes of fatty liver. Diet and exercise, controlling diabetes and decreasing alcohol consumption may help, if all fail, the medication ursidiol is used sometimes for fatty liver.

Question 4

can mild fatty liver cause discomfort under right rib cage area?

Accepted Answer

Yes: In case your fatty liver causes enlargement of your liver this might cause some discomfort in that particular area especially with some movements or running, so you need to check your liver's size. But there are other causes of discomfort in that area like gallbladder stones, etc. I recommend you to seek a medical check.

Question 5

had another u/s gallbladder polyp went down from6.5 mm to 4 mm is that good and had borderline mild fatty liver lost 25 lbs but still there why?

Accepted Answer

Monitor: Polyp that size is very unlikely to be a cancer. 1 cm  or greater generally point of concern. Can monitor with sonograms over time at this point. Additional tests like ct or MRI not warranted  at this time. Borderline fatty liver is improvement for you. Meds or alcohol, high fat or high carb (simple sugars) can add to it.

Liver injury: Mildly Elevated ALT indicates mild liver injury which can be due to viral hepatitis (sometimes other than hepatitis A,B or C), fatty liver, inflammation of the bile ducts, autoimmune disease or simply a reflection of inflammatory disorder in surrounding organs like in appendicitis or colitis. If this persists you should discuss the possibilities with your dr

Question 8

i have just been diagnosed with mild fatty liver. can that be why i have pain in my upper right abdomen?

Accepted Answer

Not likely.: Fatty liver is normally painless, but can cause your liver tests to be elevated.  The gall bladder is right next to your liver, so sometimes that is the culprit for right upper abdominal pain.  Gallbladder problems also tend to be caused by the same types of food that cause fatty liver, so talk to your doc if this has not been checked.  If your pain continues, look for another cause.

Question 9
