GNM recognition mark

Most patients are asymptomatic and are often found to be accidental because of abnormal liver function tests or enlarged liver or ultrasound of the liver during regular physical exams.

Results of liver biopsy revealed three types of GNM:

Fatty liver degeneration: liver is infected by fat, not accompanied by hepatitis.

Alcoholic fatty liver disease: In addition to fatty liver, accompanied by hepatitis, liver tissue may be scarred or fibrous and have a history of alcohol abuse.

Non-alcoholic fatty degenerative hepatitis: results of a biopsy of the same species, but no history of alcohol consumption (or negligible alcohol consumption).

The treatment of GNM depends on its cause and in general, GNM treatment will recover if done at an early stage.

Nutrition plays a decisive role in treatment

In addition to the use of certain medications to protect the liver, healthy diet and lifestyle will play a special role in preventing and treating GNM.

In nutritional treatment, the first thing the patient needs to do is:

Control your intake of carbohydrates (sugar) daily: Avoid foods, refined sugar drinks, refined grains. Better choices are fiber-rich cereals, legumes, fruits and vegetables.

Control your intake of saturated fats: eliminate saturated fats (animal fats, other than marine fat), use unsaturated fats as vegetable oils such as olive oil, peanuts , sunflower oil…

Use antioxidants to contribute to the health of liver cells: fruits and vegetables rich in color.

Each adult with GNM included obesity overweight, the energy consumption in a single day should be from 1300 to 1.400 Kcal.

Specifically: the amount of meat, fish daily about 150 - 200gr; starch: 300gr; Vegetable oil: 20 - 30gr.
