About the Case Presentation
The approach to Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) primarily focuses on lifestyle modifications, including weight loss through a balanced diet and regular physical activity, as these are key factors in reducing liver fat and improving liver function. Management also involves controlling associated conditions like diabetes, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia through medication and dietary adjustments. Regular monitoring of liver enzymes, imaging, and in some cases, liver biopsy, helps assess disease progression. Early intervention can prevent the development of more severe liver conditions, such as non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and cirrhosis.
