Should I avoid eating greasy food for liver dysfunction

Patients with abnormal liver function usually need to avoid eating greasy foods. Greasy foods may increase the burden on the liver and affect the recovery of liver function. When liver function is abnormal, the liver's ability to metabolize fat decreases. Greasy foods contain a large amount of fat and require the liver to secrete more bile to aid digestion. This will increase the workload of the liver, which is not conducive to the repair of damaged liver cells. Long term intake of greasy foods may lead to the accumulation of fat in liver cells, forming fatty liver and further damaging liver function. Common greasy foods include fried foods, fatty meat, animal organs, cream products, etc. Patients with liver dysfunction should try to minimize their consumption. A small number of patients with mild liver function abnormalities can consume healthy fats in moderation under the guidance of a doctor. For example, olive oil and unsaturated fatty acids in deep-sea fish have a certain protective effect on the liver. But even healthy fats need to be controlled in intake to avoid excessive burden on the liver. For patients with advanced cirrhosis or severe liver function impairment, strict restriction of all types of fat intake may be necessary. Patients with abnormal liver function should pay attention to a light diet, eat more fresh vegetables, fruits, and high-quality protein such as fish, chicken breast, etc. It is recommended to choose steaming, boiling, or stewing as cooking methods, and avoid frying. At the same time, strict abstinence from alcohol and regular check ups of liver function indicators should be carried out, and dietary plans should be adjusted according to the doctor's advice. If symptoms such as decreased appetite, nausea and vomiting occur, seek medical attention promptly.
