Fatty Liver Treatment

There are two types of fatty liver.
Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver
Alcoholic Fatty Liver
Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver
Nonalcoholic fatty liver (NAFL) develops when the liver has difficulty breaking down fats, which causes a buildup in the liver tissue. The cause is not related to alcohol. NAFL is diagnosed when more than 10 percent of the liver is fat.
Alcoholic Fatty Liver
Alcoholic fatty liver is the earliest stage of alcohol-related liver disease. Heavy drinking damages the liver, and the liver cannot break down fats as a result. Abstaining from alcohol will likely cause the fatty liver to subside. Within six weeks of not drinking alcohol, the fat will disappear. However, if excessive alcohol use continues, cirrhosis may develop.
Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH)
When the fat builds up enough, it will cause the liver to swell. If the original cause is not from alcohol, it’s called nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). This disease can impair liver function.
Stages (Grades) of Fatty Liver
Fatty liver as mentioned is not a critical condition, its stages of development are divided in grades
Grade 1
Grade 2
Grade 3
Grade 1 and grade 2 of fatty liver can be controlled with proper medication.
Causes of Fatty liver
Why fatty liver occurs, is unknown. A fatty diet or overeating by itself never results in a fatty liver. The fat may come from increased absorption from the intestines or from elsewhere in the body. But, putting it generally, the liver loses its capacity to eliminate fats deposited within it.
Yet, 70% of persons suffering from NASH are found to be obese.
Some common causes of NASH are:
Metabolic syndromes
Apart from alcohol, there are many conditions that cause an imbalance in the body's metabolic capacity
Diabetes
High blood pressures (hypertension)
High blood cholesterols
Pregnancy
Glycogen storage disease
Congenital disorders like Wolman's disease
Congenital diseases like Wilson's disease which affects copper levels
Weber-Christian disease affecting nutrient absorption.
Galactosemia - a disorder which affects the way milk is metabolized in the body.
Infections like tuberculosis and malaria.
Nutritional causes
Severe mal-nutrition
Obesity
Sudden rapid weight loss
Surgeries performed to reduce obesity - gastric bypass surgery, jejuno-ileal bypass, etc.
Drugs
Corticosteroids
Valproic acids ( used in epileptic patients)
Medications for heart conditions like irregular heartbeats and high blood pressures e.g. amiodarone; diltiazem.
Sedatives
Tamoxifen - used in treating breast cancer.
Methotrexate
Anti-retroviral drugs (indinavir)
Overdose of Vitamin A.
In extreme cases, amiodarone and methotexate can cause cirrhosis.
Other
toxins from food stuffs like
rancid peanuts - aflatoxins are extremely toxic
mushroom poisonings

Diagnosis Of Fatty Liver
Physical Exam
If your liver is inflamed, your doctor can detect it by examining your abdomen. Let your doctor know if you have been experiencing fatigue or loss of appetite. Also, tell your doctor about any history of alcohol, medication, and supplement use.
Blood Tests
Blood tests may be helpful as screening tests for liver inflammation, although liver function studies such as serum transaminases (AST, ALT) may be normal or elevated and not necessarily related to the severity of the liver disease. 
Other liver tests such as alkaline phosphatase and bilirubin are often normal. Serum ferritin (a measure of iron storage) may be abnormal. In patients with NAFLD and NASH, cholesterol levels including triglycerides are often elevated.
Liver Function Tests: LFT 
Abnormal levels of liver enzymes in the blood identify as well as provide a deeper understanding of the cause of fatty liver. This test also provides insight into the efficacy of treatment and the improvement to be expected.
Imaging Studies
Ultrasound of the liver can reveal patterns suggestive of fatty infiltration of the liver. Computerized tomography (CT scan) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI scan) are also useful in the evaluation of fatty liver.
Liver Biopsy
In a liver biopsy, your doctor will insert a needle into the liver to remove a piece of tissue for examination. Your doctor will give you a local anesthetic to lessen the pain. This is the only way to know for certain if you have fatty liver. The biopsy will also help your doctor determine the exact cause.
In general, people with fatty liver disease have no symptoms, especially in the beginning. However, some people may experience abdominal discomfort, fatigue, loss of appetite, a general feeling of being unwell and vague discomfort.
This is why proper diagnosis is important before starting any treatment.
Currently, there is no effective treatment for fatty liver disease. However, it is a reversible condition and can usually be treated with simple lifestyle changes, dietary changes
What are Homeopathic Treatments?
Homeopathic treatments involve practices, lifestyle changes, and herbal medicine. They put the emphasis on curing the whole body rather than the individual condition.
This is even more true in the case of a fatty liver, where the condition is often a result of other illnesses in your body, such as obesity and diabetes. With some exceptions, such as genetic factors, medications, rare metabolic disorders and the hepatitis virus, the cause of a fatty liver is often due to poor lifestyle choices.
More and more people are leaning towards natural treatments in order to avoid adding chemicals and other potentially harmful products to their systems. A homeopathic regimen will often include special herbs, teas, foods, lifestyle practices and a special liver cleansing diet.
