I have fatty liver but labs not bad at this point. I take a lot of necessary meds so I am tested often. I am told by Gastro that patients don’t feel pain in the liver but I question that. My mom had preliminary biliary chirrosis which might be hereditary also. I am about 50 lbs overweight. Lost 25 lbs before cancer surgery but gained it all back plus some. At 73 y/o I am in good shape compared to most of my peers. Trying to live each day with a thankful heart.

@musicflowers4u I had fatty liver which led to NASH cirrhosis but I never had pain! I did have other symptoms that were never thought to be connected to my liver. It was HE episodes that finally led to my diagnosis.

@racing212 Have any dietary restrictions been suggested? I know that animal protein is more apt to contribute to HE. My hepatologist did not tell me to eliminate that type of protein but to limit it. I discovered that when I had an HE episode, I had very frequently had beef the night before.
I think I must have misunderstood you, I thought you were still in the hospital but from your latest post I assume that you are not.
