28 y medically free found to have fatty liver on u/s but normal lft, bmi=28. what to do ? ist reversable ? risk to get diseases ? thank you...

Fatty Liver: It is reversible and does not in and of itself put you at risk for disease. However, this means that you have excess body fat and it is depositing in organs where it should not and is usually related to excess abdominal/visceral fat. You are headed toward what is known as metabolic syndrome. This should be a wake up call to get into better shape - eat better (mediterranean diet good) and exercise.
