What are some aggressive tactics for treating a fatty liver?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Fatty liver: Weight loss is one approach. Avoidance of a second insult to the liver is another. So vaccination against hepatitis, avoiding alcohol and other substances toxic to the liver is important. There is some evidence that Vitamin E up to 400 Iu per day can be helpful.
