r/FattyLiverNAFLD

30F, 5'3", 105 lb. Meds: 10 mg Adderall, eohilia Never drank alcohol or did recreational drugs. Other health issues: eosinophilic esophagitis, beta thalassemia minor.

My abdominal ultrasound showed a *slightly enlarged liver with coarse/uneven echotexture*. There was **no mass, no bile duct blockage, and no ascites**. My liver blood tests, bilirubin, albumin, platelets, hepatitis, glucose, thyroid, and iron studies are all normal. My PCP ordered a **FibroScan with CAP**.

But im anxious and confused about why this would show up under my circumstances. I don't have yellow skin, dark urine, light stools. I have persistent mild soreness under my right ribcage. it feels like there's a balloon there. I have suffered from profound appetite loss for the past 8 years. Ultrasound of LIVER: Mild nonspecific coarse heterogeneous echotexture of the liver. Liver measures 17.2 cm in length. No intrahepatic biliary ductal dilatation. No mass.

My reports showed I have fatty liver, doc told me it is because of obesity.

I have very limited body activity and do eat anything

Although I do not drink, still have fatty liver.

He has provided medicines but advised me to workout and follow diet cut sugar, fats and carbs

And intake more fibers and proteins.

Anyone facing same situation cured their fatty liver with healthy lifestyle or any other methods

My father has a fatty liver ( he is 48 ). My grandpa's main reason of death was liver issues. My grandpa's brother died of liver cancer a year ago. My uncle has liver issues.. and it's not about life style, my father barley eats sugar and oil. He is obsessed with eating healthy and he still was struck with his bloodline curse.

Anyway, I had Pelvi-Abdominal U/S scan yesterday ( I made it for another issue, nothing related to my liver ). And I read in the report today that I have a mildly fatty liver. I'm 20yo male, 65KG 170cm 19% body fat percentage. I don't drink. Like at all. I don't eat junk food as well. The only unhealthy thing about my life is a 350ml can of Pepsi I drink once every 2 days. So it's not a life style thing. Is there anything I can do or its a death sentence stamped in my DNA

Okay, I started itching out of nowhere pretty much all over my body about a year ago. Went to the Dr. and they really couldn’t diagnose it but gave me an antihistamine that took the itching away almost immediately. I was taking one about every 3 days. Cut to June 10th of this year I cut out pop and the itching completely stopped, but it still flares from time to time when I eat pizza. Like Greeks pizza, Chicagos pizza and Papa John’s specifically. And also around the beginning of June, I noticed my right calf, in between my calf and my ankle, was just a little swollen. October 2nd after a dr appointment thinking my gallbladder was messed up due to soft stool I had an ultrasound and was diagnosed with a fatty liver. I am freaking myself out seeing itching and swelling being late stage side effects for cirrhosis. I am waiting to hear from the liver specialist but has anyone else had these symptoms? I am overweight but not grossly so. I realistically need to lose 30-40 pounds. Also, the swelling in my leg has not gotten worse but has not gotten better. I guess I’m just looking for anyone that has had similar symptoms and what the diagnosis was.

Don’t let a doctor dismiss your concerns — keep pushing for real answers. If your doctor isn’t listening, it’s okay to seek guidance elsewhere. (And by “elsewhere,” I mean qualified medical professionals or solid research — AI is helpful for questions, but always pair it with actual studies.)

After months of being brushed off and told my enlarged liver and spleen were only due to weight, I’m finally getting a CT scan — something I’ve been asking for repeatedly. My regular doctor is out of the country, and the physician covering for him actually took the situation seriously. He has a background in internal medicine, noticed the red flags immediately, and asked what was going on with my liver and spleen.It feels like someone finally paid attention only took 3 months. One more full blood panel which is being done on Tuesday then getting referrals. Not gonna lie I was so happy I could cry. 3 months of telling me it’s only my weight when I have abnormal CBC results that have been consistent low or high over years 4 repeat bloodwork showing the same results just within the last 3 months. ( have done 2 ultrasounds both show persistent splenectomy and mild hepatitis, but was reported way back in 2017 that it was moderate hepatitis) I have my chart so can see all bloodwork and scans

Edit - correction to title since I can’t edit that. When your doctor blows you off.

I'm scared. I've been having intense pain near my spleen. My heart and lungs are ok, but my CT scan showed that my liver size increased quite a lot.

I have to make lifestyle changes but I'm not sure where to start.

I (18F) got an ultrasound a couple days ago and checked my results on Mychart. The impression is that I have fatty liver. I am at the age where I really want to go out and party (and frankly, get wasted). Obviously I know that I can’t do any of that now, but once my liver is back to normal will I be able to drink??? I have never been intoxicated. I have had maybe a few White Claws in the entirety of my life, so I did not get this from drinking. I just want to have a normal young adult experience. I want to go out and have fun like every other girl my age does.

❓ What I’d really like to know from people here:

💬 Did your bloods look similar?

💬 What helped you the most to lower triglycerides and improve ALT / AST / GGT?

💬 Was it mainly weight loss, diet changes, cutting sugar, exercise, omega-3, meds, or something else?

💬 How long did it take before you saw improvement?

💬 Does my supplement list look safe / sensible with elevated liver enzymes and atorvastatin?

💬 What tests or checks would you ask for next?

🙏 If you had similar numbers and improved them, I’d really appreciate hearing exactly what helped you most.

6 months ago my mother got sick. All blood tests were fine but she was retaining fluid in her abdominal area. They did a mri and discovered stage 4 cirrhosis of the liver. She has never been a drinker and they came to the conclusion it was Fatty liver disease.

Her first GI doctor gave her a MELD score of 15 back in May. She changed her diet, Quit smoking but things got worse fast. She was having Paracentesis every few weeks. But unfortunately wasn't happy with the albium after. This caused her ammonia and potassium to skyrocket and stressed her kidneys so bad she spent 10 days in the hospital and is now on dialysis 3 days a week in hopes to fix the kidneys. Her MELD score is now at 26 and is being introduced with liver transplant team.

She's home now but really weak, tired and now needs a walker to get around.

Has anyone else had a parent or loved one go through this? Or even yourself at this stage? What were the outcomes? Sending love to all the folks that have to deal with this.
