When looking at your health checkup results, some of you may be deeply shocked to be told that you have “moderate fatty liver” or “severe fatty liver.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Mild is one thing, but moderate or severe…? Is it already too late?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“What will happen to me if I just leave it like this…?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To those carrying such anxious feelings, what we want to tell you first is that there is a high possibility it is not too late yet. However, for that to be true, taking “immediate” and “correct” action is indispensable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This time, we will explain what state your liver is currently in, and share “what you should start right now” as proposed by a specialist to prevent progression to cirrhosis and to protect your future health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What State Is Your Liver In Now? Signs of “Moderate or Severe Fatty Liver”<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n

Being diagnosed with “moderate or severe fatty liver” on a health checkup ultrasound examination means that an amount of fat significantly exceeding normal levels has accumulated inside your liver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the entire liver appears whitish or bright on an image like this, it suggests a state tightly packed with fat. While mild fatty liver involves partial or smaller amounts of fat accumulation, moderate to severe fatty liver indicates that a non-ignorable amount of fat has accumulated across a wide area of the liver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At this stage, the most important goal is “to prevent or halt the progression of liver fibrosis (hardening of the liver).” If left untreated, fatty liver progresses to “non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH),” which involves inflammation in the liver. If it progresses further, there is a risk that it leads to “liver cirrhosis,” where the liver hardens, and eventually to “liver cancer.” Moderate or severe fatty liver should be understood as a sign that you are standing at the entrance to this dangerous path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
