This could be the beginning of fatty liver-which is an inflammatory process. Weight loss definitely helps with this so, if you are overweight, losing weight is warranted. You should see a liver specialist to help with the diagnosis and treatment-to make sure you do everything possible to avoid further liver injury. Avoid alcohol and limit acetaminophen dose to 2 grams daily at most. Good luck!!
