Biopsy gold standard: In response to an earlier question i raised the issue of alcohol and overweight since these are the commonest issues in fatty liver. Please consult the following site for details on fatty liver. Biopsy is needed to confirm the diagnosis especially in a difficult circumstance. http://www.webmd.com/hepatitis/fatty-liver-disease.

Glad it was found: As he always does, dr. Singh has given you good advice. This might be a good time to do without alcohol at all, and instead find some form of vigorous exercise that you actually enjoy doing and make it an important part of your life and social activities. Good luck and be brave.
