You are at risk: It really hard to predict but less damage you add to your liver the better avoid also all medications that could cause over disease also try to loose weight if you are over.

Fatty liver: You can get cirrhosis with just the fatty liver disease. This is deadly serious.

I've had normal AST 14 ALT 11 every year for 10 years. Would odds of cirrhosis be low with those numbers alone? If by chance there was fatty liver and no alcohol for 9 months, would liver fully recover and moderate drinking would be ok?
