What Is Fatty Liver Treatment?
Fatty liver treatment is a comprehensive approach aimed at stopping or reversing liver fat accumulation and preventing its progression to more serious conditions like NAFLD or NASH. At our affiliated clinic, the process starts with a FibroScan test, a non-invasive method that accurately measures liver stiffness and fat content.
Based on the results, personalized treatments are provided, including medications that improve cholesterol and glucose metabolism, reduce inflammation, and support weight management. In early stages, supplements and lifestyle guidance such as diet and exercise are also recommended. This combined approach helps protect liver function, reduce health risks, and improve overall metabolic health.
How It Works
Fatty liver treatment starts with a FibroScan to measure liver stiffness and fat content, along with abdominal ultrasound and blood tests to assess fibrosis markers. These results help calculate the FIB4 index, determining the stage of fatty liver disease.
Treatment is personalized based on the stage. Early-stage fatty liver is managed with diet, exercise, and supplements to support liver function. For advanced stages like NAFLD or NASH, medications target cholesterol, glucose, and inflammation. In severe cases, anti-inflammatory cytokine therapy from stem cell culture supernatant may be offered to reduce fibrosis and inflammation.
If you have already undergone a checkup and have been diagnosed with fatty liver, you can move directly into treatment since the blood tests and ultrasound are already completed. Our affiliated clinic offers both checkups and treatment, making it easier and more convenient for you to get comprehensive care in one place.
