Im really not doing anything to treat it. I dont eat much red meat. My dr says if i lose weight, it will help. But being broke, makes it hard to eat right, n having fibro, makes reg exercise difficult.
Do u have high cholesterol?
Or r u pre diabetic?
I have both.
If so, then the enlarged liver is most likely from ur diet.
Try not to worry yourself. Wait til ur labs come in.
I have a fatty liver which I think is caused by medications. My doctor has not suggested any treatment. How are they treating your enlarged liver and what do they think caused it @AK14C4
I havent had a diagnosis but my CT scan a year ago showed fatty infiltration of my liver, but my dr never said anything when i went to follow up. I didnt find out till way later when i requested a medical record. It also showed spinal degeneration and now here a yr later the last few weeks i can barely move. Like mentioned above i went in for kidney stones and thats what they found. I was a little over weight but im way over weight now. I jist hoped itd heal itself, and im not a big drinker myself. I have times where ill drink but i do not believe that has anything to do with it.
Yes. Tests came back negative for everything. Fatty liver. Docs just going to keep a watch on it. I, myself, am headed toward a lifestyle change.☺
