What medicine should I take for severe fatty liver?

Severe fatty liver indicates that the patient's fatty liver has reached a relatively serious level. At this time, you must follow the doctor's advice on medication. When patients have fatty liver, the medication will be different depending on the symptoms. In addition to medication, patients with severe fatty liver should also pay attention to their diet. They should eat more foods rich in methylsulfide amino acids, such as sesame, millet, mussels, etc.

Whether to take medicine or not, different treatment

The most important thing when suffering from fatty liver is to understand it correctly. Fatty liver is divided into two categories: alcoholic fatty liver and non-alcoholic fatty liver. Generally speaking, a fat content exceeding 5% to 10% of the liver weight is considered mild fatty liver, more than 10% to 25% is considered moderate fatty liver, and more than 25% is considered severe fatty liver.

"There is no need to take medicine for mild fatty liver. This is the best stage for treatment, but it is also the most dangerous stage that is easily overlooked. If it can be discovered early and treated in time, it can completely return to normal." The most important intervention method is to improve your lifestyle and change bad habits, such as quitting drinking, losing weight, and increasing exercise.

If mild fatty liver is not effectively controlled, fat accumulation in liver cells will further increase, causing some liver cells to begin to be destroyed. Liver function will be affected and transaminase will gradually increase. When fatty liver causes liver damage, simply improving lifestyle is not enough to cure the problem. At this time, medication is needed to restore the transaminase to normal, and liver protection treatment is also required. The situation is rather complicated as to which specific medicine to use. Therefore, liver protection medicine must be taken under the guidance of a professional doctor.

Diet for severe fatty liver disease

1. Foods rich in methionine, such as millet, oatmeal, sesame, rapeseed, spinach, cauliflower, beet, dried shrimp, scallops, mussels, etc., can promote the synthesis of phospholipids in the body and assist in the transformation of fat in liver cells.

2. High-protein diet: 1.2-1.5 grams per kilogram of body weight per day. High protein can protect liver cells and promote the repair and regeneration of liver cells. Regarding protein supply, high-quality protein should account for an appropriate proportion, such as tofu, yuba and other soy products, lean meat, fish, shrimp, skim milk, etc.

3. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, such as onions, garlic, ginger, chili peppers, pepper, curry and alcohol; use less broth, chicken broth, fish broth and other foods with high nitrogen extracts.
