Dear , Fatty liver may be just because of obesity. If so try to reduce weight. Apart from that other most common cause of fatty liver is alcohol consumption. If so avoid alcohol altogether and decrease fats in your diet. Third common cause would be the aftermath of hepatitis in the past or ongoing chronic hepatitis which can be easily confirmed by blood test SGPT. If SGPT is raised then Autralia antigen should should be checked either to prove or rule out Hepatitis-B. If so then you need to consult a gastroenterologist. Dr. Kiran Mehta.
