A member asked:
How concerned should i be if i have severe fatty liver?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Moderately concerned: There are a lot of causes of fatty liver: drinking, medications, genetic tendencies, hepatitis, rapid weight loss, immune problems, and so on. Some these are serious problems, and some are not. It's worth having it checked by your primary doctor to make sure something that could be fixed is not ignored. Of course, if you're a drinker, stop.
