Fatty hepatosis

Chronic liver disease, in which excess fatty deposits accumulate in the cells of the organ.
Fatty hepatosis
The main mechanism of development of fatty hepatosis (steatohepatitis) is associated with impaired fat metabolism in the liver. Normally, hepatocytes break down and remove fats, but with an overabundance of lipids or a violation of their utilization, fat infiltration of cells occurs. In the future, this can provoke inflammation, fibrosis, and even cirrhosis of the liver.

Reasons

Alcohol intake

Frequent consumption of fatty foods, fast food and semi-finished products

Sudden weight loss or fluctuation (bariatric surgery, celiac disease, starvation)

Excess carbohydrates in food

Sedentary lifestyle

Taking certain medications (Methotrexate, Tamoxifen)

Hereditary metabolic disorders

Diabetes mellitus, gout, atherosclerosis, hypertension

Thyroid disorders (hypothyroidism)

Hepatitis C and autoimmune diseases

Symptoms

As a rule, the disease is asymptomatic, but sometimes the patient may experience the following symptoms:

Feeling of heaviness and discomfort in the right hypochondrium

Increased fatigue and weakness

Symptoms of concomitant diseases (obesity and others)

Consequences

In the later stages of the disease, liver fibrosis develops, which can gradually turn into cirrhosis – the irreversible replacement of normal organ tissue with connective tissue. This reduces the functionality of the liver, increases the risk of cardiovascular and oncological diseases.

Treatment

alt
Conservative treatment
The basis of fatty hepatosis therapy is lifestyle changes. It is important to reduce weight, adjust nutrition and increase physical activity. The diet should exclude saturated fats, simple carbohydrates, fast food and alcohol. Vegetables, fruits, protein products, fiber and unsaturated fatty acids (fish, olive oil) are useful. The doctor may also prescribe medications to restore the metabolism.

Surgical intervention in fatty hepatosis is rarely used.
