Guest guest Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 I know none of us can donate our livers but this was an eye-opener to me. Think of how many of us have friends and family who are organ donors but who are significantly overweight and may have fatty livers without knowing about it. " The family was summoned to the Pittsburgh Medical Center in October when the hospital got notice a liver had become available, but when they arrived, it turned out the liver had too much fatty tissue to be transplanted.

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 I got that diagnoses a while ago I was told it was because I was fat. I wonder if the fatty liver will go away if I ever lose the weight. hehe.

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 Being # 1 liver disease you would think there is some medication one could take to reduce the problem. I all I hear is from my Gastro/Hepotologist is to loose weight and don't drink (I never did drink!!). Yeah I should loose weight , but........

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 Yes, so far NALFD' has limited remedies -- weight loss, avoiding alcohol, minimizing Prednisone. However, even thin people can have fatty liver. Harper [ ] Re: FATTY LIVER Being # 1 liver disease you would think there is some medication one could take to reduce the problem.
