Does high bilirubin caused by fatty liver require weight control?

High bilirubin caused by fatty liver usually requires weight control. Weight management can help improve fatty liver, indirectly reducing bilirubin levels. The accumulation of fat in patients with fatty liver can affect liver function and lead to abnormal bilirubin metabolism. Losing weight can reduce liver fat content and improve liver function. For overweight or obese patients with fatty liver, moderate weight loss can reduce liver burden and promote normal metabolism of bilirubin. It is recommended to control weight by adjusting diet structure and increasing exercise to avoid additional pressure on the liver caused by rapid weight loss. At the same time, liver function indicators should be regularly monitored to timely understand changes in the condition. Patients with fatty liver should pay attention to balanced nutrition and avoid excessive dieting when controlling their weight. It is recommended to choose a low-fat, high fiber diet and supplement high-quality protein in moderation, such as fish and soy products. At the same time, cooperate with aerobic exercise such as brisk walking, swimming, etc., and maintain moderate exercise every week. If bilirubin continues to rise or is accompanied by other abnormal symptoms, seek medical attention promptly and receive comprehensive treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
