Fatty liver is a pathological condition in which fat within liver cells exceeds normal levels, commonly seen in patients with obesity, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome. The main types include alcoholic fatty liver and non-alcoholic fatty liver, with the latter showing a rapid increase in incidence in recent years. If not actively treated, fatty liver can lead to chronic liver disease and even liver cancer, severely threatening patient health and quality of life.
Europe and America
The incidence of fatty liver is high in Europe and America, particularly in the United States and Western European countries with high obesity rates. Non-alcoholic fatty liver has become one of the most common liver diseases in these regions. The prevalence of fatty liver among adults in these areas is approximately 25% to 30%, and with the modernization of lifestyles, the incidence continues to rise year by year.
Southeast Asia
The prevalence of fatty liver in Southeast Asia has grown rapidly in recent years, mainly due to urbanization and changes in dietary patterns. In countries such as China, India, and Thailand, the prevalence of fatty liver among obese and diabetic populations has reached 20% to 30%. The increase in fatty liver cases among younger people indicates the growing pressure for prevention and treatment.
1. Abnormal Liver Function
Fatty liver leads to fat deposition in liver cells, disrupting liver cell metabolism and impairing liver function, resulting in elevated liver enzymes. Long-term abnormal liver function can promote the development of liver fibrosis and affect the liver's detoxification and metabolic capabilities.
2. Risk of Metabolic Diseases
Fatty liver is closely related to insulin resistance and is often accompanied by metabolic syndrome, increasing the risk of cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. The fat deposition in the liver negatively impacts systemic metabolism and can exacerbate other metabolic abnormalities.
3. Potential for Liver Malignancy
If untreated, fatty liver can progress to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, leading to liver fibrosis and cirrhosis, ultimately increasing the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma, seriously affecting the patient's life safety.
Stem Cell Therapy
Stem cell therapy helps promote liver cell repair and regeneration, suppress inflammation and fibrosis progression, and effectively improve liver function and fat metabolism. By promoting liver tissue repair, reducing liver inflammation, inhibiting liver fibrosis, improving insulin sensitivity, and enhancing overall metabolic regulation, stem cell therapy offers new hope for fatty liver patients.
1. Lifestyle Intervention
Healthy diet, increased physical activity, and weight control are the foundation of fatty liver management. Reducing intake of high-fat and high-sugar foods, quitting smoking, and limiting alcohol intake help alleviate liver fat deposition and improve the condition. A healthy lifestyle is a key element in the prevention and treatment of fatty liver.
2. Medication Therapy
For metabolic abnormalities associated with fatty liver, the use of insulin sensitizers, antioxidant medications, and lipid-lowering drugs can effectively control inflammation and fat accumulation, reducing liver damage. Medication therapy helps alleviate symptoms and delay disease progression to a certain extent.
3. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Assistance
TCM treatment regulates the body through methods such as soothing liver Qi, activating blood circulation, and resolving stasis. It improves liver function and lipid metabolism, assisting Western medicine treatment and promoting recovery from fatty liver. TCM as an adjunctive therapy has a holistic regulatory effect.
Fatty liver, as a globally prevalent liver disease, if not controlled in time, may lead to severe liver damage and metabolic diseases. The combined use of stem cell therapy and various intervention methods plays a significant role in improving liver function and preventing disease progression. Experts from the International Life Medical Center remind patients to actively seek diagnosis and treatment and scientifically manage their lifestyle to ensure long-term health.
