Liver or fatty liver fat is the retention and accumulation of triglycerides in liver cells gradually for a long time. This disease starts when the fat metabolism in the liver is damaged, causing it to accumulate in the liver tissue. It is a common disease in most people; it is up to 30% among ordinary people, while this is up to 60% among overweight people, which is high. The accumulation of fat in liver tissue can cause inflammation and scars, which is called hepatitis, which can cause cirrhosis, which in turn leads to hepatic failure when scars affect liver function and therefore the patient needs liver transplantation. Some scientists may classify fatty liver disease into two types: non-alcoholic liver fat and alcoholic liver fat, depending on the intake of alcohol within a person’s daily diet.
Causes of liver fat: Certain drugs and drugs such as methotrexate, which inhibits the immune system in patients with autoimmune diseases, viral hepatitis, rapid weight loss, autoimmune diseases or hereditary hereditary diseases, malnutrition and drinking alcohol. Since liver fat is one of the parts of metabolic syndrome, which also includes diabetes, high blood pressure and high blood lipids, especially triglycerides. So these diseases can be a gateway to the development of liver fat, and vice versa. Recent studies have revealed that dysfunctions of intestinal bacteria, their numbers and other intestinal problems are other causes of liver fat.
Symptoms of liver fat: general fatigue, the occurrence of pain in the upper right of the abdomen, weight loss. It is disclosed in the following ways:
- Physical Physical Examination (Clinical Examination)
- Ultrasound, axial class image, and magnetic resonance imaging.
- Examination of liver enzymes (several enzymes collected in a single application called liver function screening)
- A liver biopsy is performed and examined in vitro to detect inflammation and scars. This examination is performed when there is strong suspicion of disease and the desire to obtain accurate information about the condition.
The treatment of the disease is followed by a healthy diet and good exercise and gradual weight loss, rapid weight loss aggravates the situation, and treatment of high blood lipids and treatment of diabetes appropriate methods and treatment of insulin resistance leading to type II diabetes and weight gain, To drink heavily, to abstain from drinking alcohol, and to introduce natural anti-oxidant elements such as polyphenols (many gasoline rings), especially flavonoids.
