Should mild fatty liver undergo liver function re examination?

Mild fatty liver usually requires liver function re examination. Mild fatty liver may be related to factors such as obesity, long-term alcohol consumption, and high-fat diet, usually manifested as symptoms such as loss of appetite and fatigue. It is recommended that patients seek medical attention promptly, undergo liver function re examination under the guidance of a doctor, and adjust their diet accordingly. If the liver function indicators of patients with mild fatty liver are normal and there are no other discomfort symptoms, liver function can be rechecked every 6-12 months. The re examination items include indicators such as alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, and gamma glutamyl transpeptidase, which help evaluate the degree of liver damage. In daily life, it is necessary to control weight, limit alcohol consumption, reduce high-fat food intake, and increase aerobic exercise appropriately. If liver function indicators are abnormal or accompanied by symptoms such as upper right abdominal pain and jaundice, the follow-up interval should be shortened to 3-6 months, and liver ultrasound or elastography examination should be combined if necessary. Some patients may develop liver fibrosis due to the progression of fatty liver, and should follow the doctor's advice to use liver protective drugs such as silibinin capsules, compound glycyrrhizin tablets, and bicyclic acid tablets. Patients with mild fatty liver should maintain a low sugar and low-fat diet, eat more vegetables, fruits, and high-quality protein such as broccoli, oats, deep-sea fish, etc. Avoid staying up late and overworking, and engage in 150 minutes of moderate intensity exercise per week, such as brisk walking and swimming. If combined with diabetes or hyperlipidemia, it is necessary to monitor blood glucose and blood lipid levels simultaneously. Regular follow-up examinations can help detect liver function abnormalities early and prevent disease progression to steatohepatitis or cirrhosis.
