How is fatty liver caused?

Many people are afraid of the annual physical examination. Once you have a physical examination, it is easy to find some physical problems, and many people are unwilling to face them. Some people often find fatty liver during physical examination, but everyone always thinks that fatty liver is just a sub-health state, so we don't have to pay too much attention to it. This is actually a wrong idea. What about fatty liver? Next, let's take a closer look.

What is fatty liver?

Some people think it's puzzling that they have fatty liver, but it's not. It is closely related to your daily behavior. The following are the causes of fatty liver.

1, long-term alcoholism

Everyone knows that drinking is the most harmful to the liver. Liver biopsy of long-term alcoholics showed that 75% ~ 95% had fat infiltration. Harmful substances in alcohol and its metabolites formed after its action in human body will disturb the metabolism of stem cells, lead to fatty deposition in liver and fatty liver. Therefore, long-term alcoholism is likely to cause fatty liver problems.

2. Obesity

Why are people obese? It's not just the excess fat in your body. The degree of fat accumulation in a person's liver is directly proportional to his weight. Generally speaking, 30% ~ 50% of obese people are complicated with fatty liver, and the pathological rate of fatty liver in severely obese people is as high as 6 1% ~ 94%. Therefore, obese people are much more likely to suffer from fatty liver than people with normal weight.

3. Diseases caused by hepatitis

The liver function of hepatitis patients will be affected, so the liver is prone to fat deposition and fatty liver is easy to induce. In addition, severe anemia, too little activity or taking some drugs that damage liver function can cause fatty liver.

4. Overnutrition

The human body has a certain intake of nutrients such as fat, sugar and calories. If it exceeds the intake, it will accumulate in the human body and be converted into fat storage, which is easy to cause fatty liver problems.

5, caused by diabetes

Fatty liver can be caused by other diseases. In addition to hepatitis, diabetes is also easy to cause fatty liver. It is understood that about 50% of diabetic patients can develop fatty liver, and most of them are adult patients.

From the above, we can know that fatty liver is related to obesity and eating too much fat or sugar.
