Obese 38f diagnosed with fatty liver .i weigh 285 i have lost 38lbs. how likely is this to turn to cirrhosis?

Should not: Cirrhosis usually follows inflammation of the liver and seldom occurs with fatty liver alone. If you are losing weight you should be complemented and please keep it up. You set a great example of what should and can be done with resolution, .

NAFLD vs NASH: nonalcoholic fatty liver, normal enzymes - not at risk for progression to cirrhosis. NASH- nonalcoholic steatohepatitis. good for you to lose the weight, have your PCP monitor the liver enzymes.
