Check triglycerides: While most patients with fatty liver are indeed fat. Some patients are thin with fatty liver. I found these patients in general tend to have low HDL and/or elevated triglycerides. Sometimes, i will biopsy the liver to confirm that the condition really is indeed due to fatty liver.
