Should I avoid eating greasy food for liver dysfunction?

Patients with abnormal liver function usually need to avoid eating greasy foods to avoid increasing the burden on the liver. Abnormal liver function may be related to factors such as viral hepatitis, fatty liver, and drug-induced liver injury. Greasy foods may affect bile secretion and fat metabolism. It is recommended to seek medical attention promptly and adjust dietary structure. When liver function is abnormal, the liver's ability to metabolize fat decreases. Consuming too much greasy food can lead to fat accumulation in the liver, which may exacerbate liver inflammation or fibrosis. Animal organs, fried foods, fatty meat, etc. contain a large amount of saturated fatty acids and cholesterol, which can easily induce or worsen fatty liver. A high-fat diet can also stimulate gallbladder contraction, increase the risk of gallstones, and further affect bile excretion function. Some patients with abnormal liver function may have bile stasis, and greasy foods can exacerbate digestive symptoms such as bloating and nausea. A small number of compensated liver cirrhosis patients with poor nutritional status can, under the guidance of a doctor, consume moderately digestible vegetable oils such as olive oil, flaxseed oil, and other unsaturated fatty acids to help maintain energy supply. But it is necessary to strictly control daily fat intake and avoid using frying and cooking methods. For patients with alcoholic liver disease, strict abstinence from alcohol is necessary, as the synergistic effect of alcohol and high-fat diet can accelerate liver cell damage. Patients with abnormal liver function should choose low-fat cooking methods such as steaming and stewing in their daily lives, and prioritize the intake of high-quality protein such as fish and soy products. Moderate consumption of vitamin rich dark vegetables and low sugar fruits can help repair liver cells. Regularly monitor liver function indicators and avoid taking drugs or health supplements that may damage the liver on your own. If symptoms such as skin discoloration and ascites occur, seek medical attention immediately.
