A member asked:

Is a fatty liver a side effect of taking accutane? i took accutane 3 years ago and currently have a mild fatty liver. no one can tell me why.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

NO: Whatever side effects you had with accutane 3 years ago are long gone and forgotten. See a gastroenterologist or hepatologist for best results.
