Follow-up is structured, supportive, and focused on preventing progression from simple hepatic steatosis to advanced fibrosis.

Understanding The Procedure

Understanding Fatty Liver Disease

Fatty liver disease involves fat accumulation within liver cells, ranging from simple steatosis to inflammatory NASH. Dr. Omer assesses your candidacy through clinical history, blood work, and imaging. Early detection and intervention significantly improve long-term liver health outcomes and prevent serious complications.

In Simple Terms

In simple terms, fatty liver disease means excess fat is stored in your liver cells. Dr. Omer uses ultrasound and non-invasive tests to measure liver fat and check for inflammation. The consultation takes 30-45 minutes, and results guide your personalised treatment plan forward.

Why It Is Done

Fatty liver disease is recommended when you have metabolic risk factors, elevated liver enzymes, or imaging evidence of hepatic steatosis. Dr. Omer investigates whether you have simple NAFLD or more serious NASH with fibrosis. Early assessment prevents progression to cirrhosis and chronic liver failure.

Who Needs It

Patients typically range from age 30 to 60 with obesity, type 2 diabetes, or metabolic syndrome. You may have mild symptoms like fatigue or right-sided discomfort. Some are asymptomatic but screened due to abnormal liver function tests or family history of liver disease.

What To Know

Before assessment, avoid heavy meals and maintain normal medication routines unless advised otherwise. Fasting is not required for ultrasound or transient elastography. Wear comfortable, loose clothing. Bring recent blood test results. Dr. Omer will explain findings immediately and discuss lifestyle modifications and follow-up monitoring.

Fatty Liver Grade 1, 2 and 3 on Ultrasound

GradeWhat it means
Grade 1Mild fat in the liver
Grade 2Moderate fat
Grade 3Severe fat

The grade shows how much fat is seen, not how much damage (scarring) the liver has. Scarring is checked with blood tests and a fibrosis assessment.

Best Treatment for Fatty Liver

Weight loss is the most effective fatty liver treatment. Losing 7 to 10% of body weight can reduce liver fat and inflammation. Practical swaps:

  • Fewer rotis and less rice per meal
  • No sugar in chai, no cold drinks or packaged juices
  • Grilled or baked instead of fried
  • About 150 minutes of brisk walking a week

There is no proven over-the-counter "fatty liver medicine". Medicines are used only for selected patients after assessment.

See a doctor urgently if you have

  • Yellow eyes or skin
  • Swelling of the abdomen or legs
  • Vomiting blood or black stools
  • Confusion or unusual drowsiness

Step by Step

What to Expect During Your Assessment

Your fatty liver disease evaluation spans initial consultation through diagnostic imaging, lab review, and detailed management planning with Dr. Omer.

1
Arrival and History

You will be welcomed and guided through check-in. Dr. Omer takes a detailed medical history, including weight changes, alcohol use, medications, and family liver disease history. This conversation helps assess your overall metabolic health.

2
Physical Examination

Dr. Omer performs a focused abdominal examination to assess liver size and check for signs of advanced liver disease. He palpates gently and explains findings as he progresses through the examination.

3
Imaging and Testing

Ultrasound is performed to visualize liver fat distribution and measure hepatic steatosis. Transient elastography measures liver stiffness and fibrosis severity. Both tests are painless, non-invasive, and completed within the same visit.

4
Results and Discussion

Dr. Omer reviews findings with you immediately, explaining whether you have simple NAFLD or more concerning NASH. He discusses liver fat percentage, stiffness measurements, and whether additional tests or referrals are needed.

5
Personalised Management Plan

You receive a written management plan addressing diet, exercise, weight loss targets, and medication if appropriate. Follow-up appointments are scheduled. Dr. Omer provides contact information for questions between visits and supports long-term liver health.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Most adults with metabolic risk factors benefit from fatty liver disease evaluation. Dr. Omer assesses candidacy during consultation, considering your age, weight, blood sugar, and liver enzyme levels. If you have obesity, diabetes, or abnormal liver tests, assessment is strongly recommended.

Yes, ultrasound and transient elastography are non-invasive, painless, and carry no risk. Dr. Omer uses calibrated, well-maintained equipment following international standards. There is no radiation, no injections, and no recovery time. The procedure is suitable even for pregnant women and those taking medications.

Gradual weight loss of 7 to 10% through diet and regular exercise is the best treatment, along with control of diabetes, cholesterol and blood pressure. Dr. Omer also checks for liver scarring, because that decides how closely you need to be followed up.

Fasting is not required. Wear loose, comfortable clothing for easy abdominal access. Bring recent blood test results and a list of current medications. Avoid heavy meals two hours before appointment. Bring insurance or identification documents. Dr. Omer's team will confirm any additional requirements when you book.

Your consultation includes detailed history-taking about diet, exercise, family history, and metabolic factors. Dr. Omer performs physical examination and arranges ultrasound and elastography on the same day. He reviews findings, explains your liver fat status, and discusses whether you have NAFLD or NASH with next steps.

Not meaningfully. Liver fat improves over months, not days. Steady weight loss of about 0.5 to 1 kg a week is safer than crash dieting, which can make the liver worse. Blood test and ultrasound results are usually discussed at the same or the next visit.
