Weight loss: is what most people need with this condition, which is associated mostly with obesity, and occasionally occurs in non-obese (or just overweight) individuals who have serious lipid abnormalities. It can and does progress in some people to cause scarring and ultimately cirrhosis, and needs to be taken seriously. Avoid alcohol and if you are overweight, start weight loss program. Get lipid testing.
