What exactly does it mean when a doctor says my daughter has fat buildup on her liver?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Early liver damage: A "fatty liver" is the first step in damage to the liver and it can happen from many causes. Some progress and some go away. Ask your doctor for a referral to dr. Antonio quiros at musc in charleston, sc. He is a children's liver expert who came to charleston last summer.
