Hello Doctor, I underwent a master healthcheckup and found out that I have fatty liver issue. My doctor advised me to take Ursocol 300 for the next 3 months. I am really worried now. Is the fatty liver a major issue and also want to know whether this is permanently curable. Do we need to follow any specific diet for this ? Pls advise
Hello, Normally some fats is present in liver but if this fat increases more than 5 to 10% of weight of liver, then it is called as fatty liver. Fatty liver is broadly either alcoholic or non-alcoholic. Alcoholic fatty liver is caused by excessive consumption of alcohol while non-alcoholic fatty liver can be caused by high cholesterol or high triglycerides, diabetes,pre-diabetes, malnutrition,weightless, certain medications etc. Fatty liver is totally reversible if the offending cause is identified and removed. Quit alcohol if alcohol is the cause. Control cholesterol, diabetes,if they are the cause. Reduce weight Reduction of intake of saturated SND trans fats, sugary Chat Doctor. As far as medicines like PROTOCOL is concerned, many gastroenterologist do prescribe this medicine, but their role is controversial. Thanks
