Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I read your query and understand your concern.
Fatty liver is not a dangerous condition. To manage that, lifestyle modification along with regular exercise is needed. I suggest the following.
1. Regular one-hour exercise will be beneficial.
2. Avoid highly saturated fatty foods and junk foods.
3. Tablet Udiliv (Ursodeoxycholic Acid) 300 mg daily for a few months.
Your triglyceride levels are high, and if there is no improvement with exercise, then you have to start using antilipidemic medications. You can consult your specialist doctor, talk with them, and take medicines with their consent.
I hope this helps.
Thank you.
