How to detect fatty liver

summary

My colleague is 40 years old. He looks very fat. He often goes out to dinner and eats some food with large oil content. A few days ago, a colleague said that he has mild fatty liver. After hearing this, I doubt whether he also has fatty liver. Later, after the test, everything is normal. Let me talk about how to detect fatty liver.

How to detect fatty liver

First: liver function test: liver test is one of the main ways to detect fatty liver, the liver function of patients with fatty liver is often abnormal. Liver function test mainly includes five standards: 1, alanine aminotransferase 2, aspartate aminotransferase 3, total bilirubin 4, direct bilirubin 5, indirect bilirubin. If the values of five items in the liver examination results are beyond the normal range, it means that the liver has been damaged, and measures should be actively taken for treatment.

Second, blood lipid examination: fatty liver patients often have increased blood lipid content, manifested as hypercholesterolemia, hyperlipidemia, about 50% of hyperlipidemia patients can have liver fat infiltration. Therefore, elevated alanine aminotransferase combined with hyperlipidemia is the most valuable index for the diagnosis of fatty liver.

Third: B-ultrasound examination: B-ultrasound is one of the important means to detect fatty liver. When the total amount of fat in the liver exceeds 30%, it can be detected by B-ultrasound. In the B-ultrasound examination, when the fatty liver tissue reaches 10%, the real-time ultrasound image can be abnormal. If the fatty liver tissue reaches 30-50%, the ultrasound can accurately diagnose and actively take treatment measures.

matters needing attention

The reasonable diet for patients with fatty liver should be low-fat diet, high protein diet, moderate calorie diet and low carbohydrate diet. Low fat diet is the key to reduce blood fat, advocate light, basic vegetarian, but not long-term only vegetarian. We should have a balanced nutrition.
