Does fatty liver always turn in to cirrhosis? How to prevent it?

Hey there! Fatty liver can progress to cirrhosis in some cases, but with early detection and healthy habits, it's often preventable.

Lose the booze and fatty fried foods. Exercise daily.

I was told I had a fatty liver for years. Struggled to lose weight no matter what I tried. Unfortunately I had a genetic liver disease all that time that went ignored. Now I need a liver transplant. Don’t just take “fatty liver” as a non issue.

No!!!!! I had fatty liver disease from taking Tylenol everyday for 6 months. After stopping them my dr retested me after two months and my levels were normal!!!!

It doesn’t always turn into Cirrhosis . I’ve had fatty liver 15 years now . I’m 40 lbs overweight and started getting one as weight went on slowly in my 40’s & 50’s . I’m 62 now .
Most people over 50 have a mild fatty liver . I eat very healthy too .
Google it , lots of info on it .

Thank you for comment..I was told I was a good candidate for the new drug. But it costs 4500 a month and you have to take it 52weeks...why would it be so expensive..I cannot pay that

In some cases but I have a fatty liver and never drank a drop in my life and weighing 135lb. I suspicion medications. They never tell us the truth about meds we take. I get insulted with any attempt to blame it on alcohol when it could not be.

I never drank or did street drugs and not that overweight and I have fatty liver...they do have a new drug to treat fatty liver but it is 4500 a month and I cannot afford that.

That’s crazy! Wow. So expensive. You can talk to your Dr about things you can do yourself. A lot of fatty liver disease does not turn into cirrhosis of the liver Especially if you’re not a heavy drinker My pcp told me this. Ofcourse your dr knows you and your history best! Good luck to you. 😊😊😊😊

Be sure you are checked for diabetes as that is a common cause of fatty liver. I had fatty liver and diabetes and with weight loss my diabetes and fatty liver disappeared.
