A member asked:

Fatty liver 6 mo followup soon. gi didn't seem too worried since everything else norm. trouble w/bad diet since then. chances of having more "damage"?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Change diet: Fatty infiltration of the liver can lead to hepatitis and other complications such as cirrhosis and liver failure. Change your diet and get follow up. Most patients get no symptoms and have no problems. Its important to nip this in the bud if you can. See a GI doctor if you become symptomatic.
