Six major causes of fatty liver

　　One of the causes: Overnutrition. Long-term intake of too much animal fat, vegetable oil, protein and carbohydrates. These foods cannot be fully utilized in the body, and the excess nutrients are converted into fat and stored, leading to obesity, Hyperlipidemia and fatty liver。

　　Cause 2: Long-term alcohol abuse Alcohol is the number one killer of liver damage. This is because after alcohol enters the human body, it is mainly catabolized in the liver. The toxicity of alcohol to liver cells causes obstacles to the decomposition and metabolism of fatty acids by liver cells, causing fat deposition in the liver and causing fatty liver. The more you drink, the more serious your fatty liver will be, and it can also induce liver fibrosis, which can lead to cirrhosis.

　　The third cause of the disease: Malnutrition and obese people are prone to fatty liver, but this does not mean that thin people will not suffer from fatty liver. clinical It is often found online that some people are very thin but also suffer from fatty liver. This is due to long-term malnutrition and lack of protein and vitamins, which can also cause nutritional deficiency fatty liver. If you suffer from chronic intestinal disease , long-term anorexia, dieting, vegetarianism, malabsorption syndrome and gastrointestinal bypass surgery and other reasons, resulting in hypoalbuminemia, lack of choline, amino acids or lipotropic substances, resulting in accumulation of fat in the liver, forming fatty liver.

　　The fourth cause: diabetes, hepatitis, Hyperthyroidism , severe anemia In patients with chronic diseases such as diabetes, due to insufficient insulin, the body responds to Grape The use of sugar is reduced, and in order to replenish energy, fatty acids in the body increase significantly. If these fatty acids cannot be fully utilized, fat synthesis in the liver will be increased, leading to fatty liver. 60% of obese patients will develop diabetes, and their rate of developing fatty liver is twice as high as that of people without diabetes.

　　Cause 5: Drug-induced liver damage Drug-induced liver damage accounts for 1/10 of adult hepatitis cases, and fatty liver is a common type. There are dozens of drugs related to fatty liver, such as tetracycline, acetylsalicylic acid, glucocorticoids, synthetic estrogens, amiodarone, nifedipine, certain anti-tumor drugs and lipid-lowering drugs, etc., which can cause fat to accumulate in the liver.

　　Cause Six: Hyperlipidemia Hypercholesterolemia is closely related to fatty liver, among which hyperTG (triglyceride) hyperemia is the most closely related, most of which are often accompanied by obesity, diabetes and alcoholism.

　　In addition, certain industrial poisons, such as yellow phosphorus, arsenic, lead, copper, mercury, benzene, carbon tetrachloride, etc., can also cause fatty liver. Pregnancy, genetics or mental, psychological and social factors, such as sitting more, less activity, and laziness, are also related to the occurrence of fatty liver.
