A member asked:
What is the percentage of a fatty liver turning into cirrosis. am 34. non alcoholic. a bit overweight and got fatty liver since 8 yrs. pcp said 1 %?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: To develop cirrhosis. Fatty liver is endemic in our society and directly related to the obesity epidemic in america. A fatty liver in and of itself without symptoms causes no significant problem. I would stop worrying about some unlikely disease process and investigate weight loss options.
