Find out the cause: You have to find out the cause. The most common causes relate to alcohol use, medication side effects, obesity, and auto-immune liver diseases. A gastroenterologist or hepatologist are usually the most helpful doctors in figuring these things out. Usually, if you eliminate the cause, the liver inflammation goes away. Left untreated, it can lead to cirrhosis and ultimately cancer.

No specific diet : Though a healthy diet low in fat is probably best. If inflammation from fatty liver disease it ie best to loose weight. With advanced cirrhosis, diet is very important to avoid malnutrition.
